Take a break from your phone today, even if it’s only for an hour. Many of us are so glued to technology, we forget to stay present live our lives, have in-person conversations, and explore things in the physical world.
Get away from your phone today, and notice how you feel (e.g., jittery, relaxed, anxious, rejuvenated, peaceful, etc.)
The first goal is to feel more at peace.
The second goal is to realize that you are in charge of your life, not your phone.
If you’re getting value from this — sign up for my newsletter, a free daily 5 AM email. Discipline delivered before the sun comes up.
The third goal is to set healthy boundaries in a technology-driven world.
Challenge: Take a moment, however long or short, away from your phone today.
Gradually start to increase the time you are away from your phone; this is a healthy form of self-discipline to implement in your life, and this act of self-discipline will disseminate into other areas of your life — it’s a win-win situation!
