Switch off and Switch on your mind
Social media is designed to push your buttons so that you latch on all the time. I’ve developed a bad habit, I cannot watch a movie on TV, and leave my phone alone. I continuously pause to pay attention to all the notifications pinging on my phone.
My phone has become my prime focus. I remember a time when a cellphone only received text messages and phone calls… I’m not that old, but back then my phone did not have so much control over me.
If you have a social media addiction, your screen time needs to reduce. Why? Because we’re taking in too much information of which a lot of it is damaging.
