Summary
The socially acceptable addiction to news, entertainment and social media is contributing to the deterioration of our mental health, creativity, physical well-being and relational intimacy. BOOK A SESSION ▶▶▶ https://laurahow.com/online-counselling/ Putting our screens down isn’t going to be easy, they are obviously hugely addictive to us. But, if they’re a problem for you currently, you can make some simple steps in the right direction today. -Put your phone in the glove box when you arrive at the restaurant. -Leave it at home when you go for a walk. -Enforce a ‘no phones at the table’ or/and ‘no phones in the bedroom’ rule at home. -Turn off notifications. -Set App Time Limits. -Turn your phone off at the same time everyday and leave it off. -Notice when you unconsciously reach for your device and make a decision to leave it where it is. Use screens the way a moderate drinker might choose to use alcohol. Mindfully, in moderation and with an awareness that too much is bad for your health.
