Episode No. 90 Creating Healthy Digital Habits + Boundaries
“Simply put, humans are not wired to be constantly wired.”
My phone is always in my hands. First thing in the morning, as I work, when I work out, and when I’m falling asleep, I am super glued to my phone. And as you can imagine living like that is a total gift and a curse.
On one hand I get to stay connected with my family that's back in Detroit thanks to FaceTime. I've been blessed to meet so many incredible people, create a business, and share my voice with the world because of technology. But baby that curse? It's a CURSE!
My chronic phone, tv, computer, iPad usage is wearing your girl out. I'm always tired, always cranky, always comparing myself to others. I'm distracted and always feel like I'm running on empty. Why? Well because chronic screen time use causes anxiety, depression, disturbances in concentration, and even sleeping.
And guess what? I am OVER IT!
I am over letting my phone control my life. So what did I do? I dug down deep and figured out why I was so attached to my phone. And guess what, it had a lot to do with avoiding the work that can get me closer to my dreams. Can you say #SelfSabotage? And then I created some digital boundaries for myself.
I haven't completely kicked my phone addiction to the curb but I am more intentional about how I use it and for how long. If you're tired of letting your phone dictate your moves and moods then it might be time to create some healthy digital habits + boundaries in your internet life. Check out this week's episode to learn how!
