How to stop looking at your phone all the time
From these past months I have come to the conclusion, yes I confess Fit Girls, that I can’t stop looking at my smartphone... "Haha what a big surprise Shirley"! Would say most of my friends sarcastically... Anyways, I could blame it on the fact that I work for an online community that I adore, follow awesome people on Youtube and Instagram and I like to chat with my friends and family that live abroad.
Anyhow, I have been noticing that the use of my smart phone has been taking too much of my attention even when I want to enjoy the present moment. Apparently, during the course of 2014 a study revealed that we unlock our phones anywhere between 110 and 150 times every single day. Which seems a crazy amount of times that our attention is fully disconnected from the present moment. I still love and will always continue using my smart phone but I read some good tips that I’m going to share with you on how to take control and use your smart phone in a more balanced way. Shall we begin?
Hide Your Phone
Nothing very technical or fancy but really helpful! I realized that the moments that I mostly end up looking at my phone are when I just wake up and go to sleep. Also, when I am working on the computer or watching TV. A good solution can be of charging your phone far away from your bed so it’s not the first thing you see when you get to bed or wake up. Also, it is very unhealthy to be sleeping next to your charging phone! Continuing this further, another solution could be of just leaving your phone a few meters away from you when working or enjoying a nice movie with friends and family.
