Put the Phone Down!
I used to find myself waking up, ready for the day, determined to be productive with my time. I then found myself gradually losing that feeling of productivity throughout the day... and I think I have pinpointed the cause.
The second I would wake up, the very first thing I would do is check my phone. Checking what texts I have, what posts are new, and ultimately filling my mind with things that have no value. After I get out of bed, I would get ready for the day and then go to eat breakfast. During breakfast, I fell into the same habit of checking my phone. Flash forward to the end of the day, I would think to myself, "So much for being productive today" or "I guess I'll just have to do that tomorrow". It seemed normal for a while until one day I stopped and evaluated how I was spending my time.
After evaluation, I deleted all of my social media and let me tell you, it was an amazing decision that I haven't regretted one bit. Before deleting it all, I was scared that I would be bored, or that I would miss out on important things happening on social media, but I realize my mind is so much more at peace now. There isn't the constant need to be on my phone, which leaves more time for other things in my life.
So I urge you, put down your phone. Spend time doing things that benefit your body and your mind. Enjoy your life without being behind a screen all day, It makes a world of difference.
