I have phone addiction, it’s really bad as it’s affecting me so bad already. What do I do?
If you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning—before even getting out of bed, you may be addicted. If you find you’re text-messaging while driving, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment, or checking Facebook during a romantic dinner—your phone is interfering with your life and you are addicted.
Are missing out on living a fulfilled and rich life because you’re constantly staring at your cell phone? The first 30 minutes of your day
If you find yourself waking up in the morning reaching to check in with your phone before you even got out of bed, this is a serious problem. The first 30 minutes upon awakening should be dedicated to creating a good start to your day. This means getting out of bed, freshening up, taking 5 minutes to meditate and stretch and preparing a healthy breakfast. Start your day doing healthy, positive things to build your inner fortitude to take on the day ahead. The truth of the matter is having a cell phone close by at work is common, and sometimes even required. Whether the ding of your phone is work-related or not—that specific phone alert is rarely related to the current work at hand. If you are constantly getting distracted by your phone going off—you won’t remain focused on the work in front of you, decreasing productivity. Therefore, I advocate for creating a no-phone time-zone. This means that for at least 2 hours of your day(when you’re most productive work happens) you close off your phone and stay completely dedicated to the work in front of you. Turn your Phone Off When You Get Into The Car- This should be a law. I’m waiting for the day that it is. Just as in an aircraft you are asked to power off your electronic devices and cell phones, this should be the law of the road. It is impossible for your mind to be at two places at once. It is a law of physics: no one thing can occupy the same space at the same time, and if your mind and eyes are on your phone, they are not on the road. Driving is one of those places where you do not want to mess around.
The reason we go to our phone is seeking happiness. So, if we have better ways to get happiness, we will automatically reduce our screen time. Research shows when you do something to help others, it gives you more happiness than when you do the same thing for your own. So, think how you can help others, and try to do that whenever you get time. You can help people using your phone as well. More than the screen time, we regret the uselessness of the time spent on mobile phone . So, find out an activity which helps others, and do that whenever you get time. Meditation doesn’t only improve your happiness for the time you are doing it, but, meditation also improves your happiness level even after it. Talk to someone you trust, and not only those, talk to people around you just to know them better, but, avoid negative people. But, keep in mind while talking to strangers that treat them as you would like to be treated by a stranger if you had been in their shoes. Add regular exercise or even simple walk in your daily routine. It will improve not only physical well-being, but also mental well-being. Make sure you take 7–8 hours of quality sleep everyday. The trick to do that is going to bed everyday at the same time while keeping all the distraction away. Keep your phone away or on silent when you sleep.
I think we go to our phone, because we feel restless and not happy .
