I struggle with this too. The screen oftentimes relaxes me. It is a balance between using it to relax and getting myself to put it down when I have to. That is difficult sometimes.
It’s hard to overcome screen-addiction, but probably one of the best ways is by finding other activities that you like so much that you will even forget about the digital devices. In those days in which it is hard to find that motivation, what I try to do is to at least only look for the positive things and material that I can find online and ignore all the negative noise that the internet and social media can bring into our lifes
As of late I have been saying yes to playing broad games with my kids over absentmindedly scrolling through social media or binge watching tv
The first thing you have to realize, is that addiction is triggered by need of your body to be in balance, what ever the screen does, it unbalance your body, thats why you feel the need. Your body will react to tell tells or comment moments that you usual pick up the screen. It will unbalance you, so if you pick up the phone or screen your in balance again. How to get over it…… a strong will, to real quiet. Don’t be to harsh on yourself. Minimize the moments you do look at the screen, and Remeber the need will be there max 20 min if you get lost in your mind it can stay for longer! Make a decision! And you will see that the need Faith’s away! Look for distractions! Good luck
Just know what is useful things to do in your device and when use it ask yourself am I using it for something useful or not if it is useful keep going if it is not shut it down and don’t use it
Ha! That’s a good one! I suppose the first step is to admit you have a problem ( I haven’t made it this far) but I might suggest scheduling your day so that you don’t really have time for screens unless your schedule it. And stick to it!
You first have to recognize that it is a problem for you. Then look at times in your day where you can take moment and put your phone down and go do something else in place of scrolling endlessly, like reading a book. Another thing that is a good starter is to make timers for yourself, limit how much time you have. You have to do this slowly or you’ll drive yourself crazy.
Clearly I have not overcome this yet, but basically I reward myself after I’ve accomplished my to do list with a half hour of screen time. Otherwise I try to stay off the social media unless it’s to upload my daily insta post with my latest art. I still find myself getting distracted
I find it helpful to know what apps you’re using the most, and then figuring out which ones actually bring meaning to your life. If it’s just mindless scrolling, it’s not as worth it. For those apps, try setting a daily or weekly time limit for yourself – often you can do that in your phone settings. If there are apps that don’t have any positive impact on you, try deleting them, at least for a bit, to give yourself a break. You might initially find yourself wanting to use them, and you’ll probably have such a habit that you scroll to where it was and try to open the app, but that’s all it is – habit. You don’t actually need it. Deleting apps also makes more space on your phone for stuff you actually like! Photos, music, things that genuinely bring meaning for you. Good luck!
