Day 4 of No Social Media On My Phone
I’m getting more aware of the times I catch myself trying to find apps to scroll through on my phone. When I catch myself doing so, I put my phone on a nearby table and try to busy myself with something. I don’t care if it’s cooking, cleaning, or getting a Diet Coke out of the fridge. I need something in my hands.
What’s harder to catch is when I’m holding my phone. Sometimes, I’ll look down, and my phone’s in my hands. I’m not trying to scroll in those moments. It’s a comfort thing to have my phone in my hands.
I’m still struggling to find things to do when I catch myself with my phone in my hands. I have books, but I’m not motivated to read. I have notebooks, but I haven’t touched them. I’m trying hard to get myself back in that habit again.
