Screen relationships
I recently got an interesting book from the library called "How to Break Up with your Phone". I realized I've been too glued to my screens: both phone and iPad. The book recognizes that phone have wonderful capabilities, but not all phone usage is good (or healthy). I'm not planning on giving up Google Maps, or my recipe app, 2FA, or learning using YouTube. And I just love having an awesome little camera always in my pocket. The book has a bunch of exercises to help me recognize what things on my phone aren't really helping me. Teasing apart the good from the not so good has been helpful. The book had me consciously stop after I use my phone and examine how I feel, for me I realized social media in the form of Facebook and Instagram are kinda downers. I don't really like all the 'like' homework, it feels bad when I don't like all my friends posts, 'Like' has almost become 'yeah, I saw this'. Birthdays definitely feel less special ...
