give your mind a rest from your phone

I hope this video gives you some motivation to give your mind a rest and spend less time on your phone.

The world has felt so overwhelming recently, and I don't think having a (hard to admit) addiction to our phones and mindlessly scrolling helps in allowing us to see absolutely everything. For me personally, it makes me feel groggy, overwhelmed and not myself, and I realised it's hard to notice how it makes you feel until you take a step away!

My weekly screen time last week added up to 30 hours (a little over 4 hours/a day - and that was a 'good' week), I deleted the instagram app off my phone, I still post (but I have to redownload the app or post from my laptop), and will look at my favourite peoples stories or posts but I don't spend time scrolling this way! Doing this has sliced my screen time in half, and this week it added up to 14.5 hours (about 2 hours a day). Isn't that crazy!

In just a week, my mind feels so much less cluttered, overwhelmed, filled with 'fluff', stressed, however you want to describe it!

We already give so much time away to scrolling unnecessarily, and I'm extremely guilty in doing so - there will be times when I go straight back to old habits - but I think in frequently reminding ourselves of the issue, we can snap back to the way things should be.

I've been spending time doing puzzles, reading, being outside, doing online courses (which involves my laptop screen but I'm learning not mindlessly scrolling!), and I've also been finding time to do my yoga and workouts which makes me so excited!

I hope this video helps you make a little bit of change!
