Phone Addiction Collage

I made a collage with the concept of phone addiction and the feeling related to it.

I don't like the feeling that phone addiction gives me. I especially don't like the feeling that reels & endless scrolling gives me. It makes me feel like my brain is unfamiliar and I am restrained by my own capacity. I feel the difference in my mind and it feels like a jail cell.

Since watching this class, I have decided to blot out from 9pm to 10pm everyday, I will have no phone - including no music, no screens. I will add to this week by week or so -  a limit for an hour before sleeping and an hour before waking (I practise loose versions of this currently). 

I didn't know that having your phone in the room with you & also hearing notifications increases cortisol - I will keep this in mind also. No phone zones is an interesting idea I would consider exploring also.

And, of course, to ask yourself "what void am I trying to fill right now?". We are always avoiding something when we scroll.

Thank you for your lesson
