Practical exercise
Run a 14 day comparison fast
For the next 14 days you cut comparison out of your daily life with the discipline of a fast. You will not unfollow anyone, you will not delete apps, you will not announce a digital detox. You will quietly mute every account whose updates make you feel small, you will replace 30 minutes of comparison scrolling each day with 30 minutes of something concrete, and on day 15 you will measure what changed inside you. The fast is short. The effect, when honest, is large.
Now try it
Run a 14 day comparison fast
Stretch
On day 30, sit with one chosen sangat friend and tell them what you learned. Their reflection back will sharpen yours. Some pairs decide to do the next 14 day fast together with a different rule: no whatsapp groups for two weeks, or no news for two weeks. Friend assisted experiments are five times more likely to be completed than solo ones.
Goes into your portfolio
Your 14 daily three sentence entries (compiled into one document), plus the day 15 reflection comparing sleep, mood, and 'piche reh gaya' counts before and after, plus a one paragraph decision about what you keep beyond day 14.
