Sophia Digital Fasting Practice
A digital fast is a deliberate period of abstaining from digital devices—smartphones, social media, news feeds, and streaming services. Unlike a digital 'detox' (which implies toxicity), a fast is a conscious, intentional practice of creating space. It reveals how deeply digital habits have colonized your attention and restores your capacity for boredom, reflection, and presence.
