The digital world is something we can not do without, although we use it more than one another. Our phones and other devices are the major tools to access it and we all seek different things in it. Be it work or anything else, there are times you just want to relax and unwind and there will be this particular app or apps that provides that for you. Many months ago, I would have easily mentioned a game or two that does this for me but guess what? I uninstalled all the games on my phone, because I was beginning to get addicted.

Instead of using those games to unwind, they become the apps I use the most and my productivity level became so low. I have been very careful since then, because trust me, it can be very easy to get addicted to something that makes you relax. Nowadays, whenever I feel overwhelmed or burnt out, or just tired, I have some few apps that I go to on my phone to help me relax and unwind a little because life doesnt have a second part. Everyone needs this at one point or the other, be it offline or online.
The first on the list will be INSTAGRAM. I have always loved Instagram and since reels has been introduced, I loved it even more. I love watching funny videos, travel contents, aesthetic videos and sometimes, I stick around when movie clips pop up. It also keeps me updated about whatever is happening around the world, there is a way the algorithm just makes this possible. At a point, I started becoming addicted to Instagram and I had it deleted for a while. I really do not like it when something that doesnt really add to me takes too much of my time. It makes me beat myself up and I just try to avoid it as much as I can. I have installed it again but I am controlling the amount of time I spend on it.
SPOTIFY is another app I use as my escape room and I think I open it every single day. I am a big lover of good music and there is a way music heals me, makes me function better, and put me in a much better mood. I have different playlists for different moods and trust me, they are so so good. I randomly listen to some artists as well, so it's not limited to my liked songs or special playlists. Two nights ago, I randomly remembered this very old song, those kinds our parents grew up listening to.
It was very refreshing and felt so different, these kind of songs are ever green. I listened to two other younger artists that their musics always remind me of my roots and the beauty of my culture; Beautiful Nubia and Brymo. It was a very jolly night for me, I was singing along loudly with so much excitement, joy and happiness.
Who doesn't love YouTube?. That's another go-to app for me to unwind and relex, by watching different kind of contents that fits into my mood. In this categrory is also NETFLIX, to see some really good movies when I want to relax. I get careful here though, I kind of love series more nowadays and with the way they all end their episodes, they leave you craving for more. I try to control myself to not binge-watch; works sometimes and doesn't work some other timesš.

The last app that I use to unwind is PINTEREST, I totally love that app. I check for aesthetic pictures, quotes, contents for my business and most especially , to daydream. I would start searching for dreamy room set up ideas and I will save so many nice rooms as if I am getting an apartment next month, lol. I would go search for nice views so I can resume my daydream about traveling the world. There are all kinds of contents on pinterest and I love everything the app has to offer. The person that created that app totally 'ate', for real.
