yes!!! notifications aren't allowed on my phone and that's helped me a lot to disconnect! I'll get to that shit when I feel like looking at this dystopian rectangle.

sometimes painful but it gives me time to reflect and relax without a constant stream of information lighting up my brain. I feel it’s helping fix my brain chemistry

first, i think it’s important that your phone is never the first thing you dive into when you wake up and it should not be the last thing you see before you go to sleep. set aside at least 30min-1hr when you wake up/before you go to bed without any screen time. you can read, do morning exercise, go for a walk, theres a lot you can do that would be better than being on your phone. i think it’s also really helpful to turn off all notifications and turn dnd on at all times. might be overdoing it, but any little bit helps. i’ve deleted any and all apps i don’t deem ABSOLUTELY necessary to be on my phone. social media apps esp, if you have a computer just log in using that whenever youre home and wanna check or post something. fourth and maybe most importantly, be okay with the idea of being bored without your phone! explore the idea of going out without it, just raw dogging life.

I realized last month that I had basically developed the habit of ALWAYS looking at my phone. Walking around the house, brushing my teeth, eating, etc. I always had my phone out. I’ve removed a lot of social media apps from my phone, which helped, but the biggest game changer for me is just abandoning my phone upstairs or in another room. Reading a lot more, staying more focused, playing more fetch with my dog, life is good 😎

one thing i really like when i learn more about new people is to know whether or not they go on really long walks. i feel like it makes me immediately like someone more if they do this too because i love long walks. like fully as long as i can walk until my body hurts long walks because it helps me think and you see so many good things on walks
