6 Steps to Detox from Your Phone & Reduce Your Anxiety Levels
Manage episode 434560812 series 2850390
How often do you check your phone daily?
Do you feel anxious when you’re away from your phone?
Today, Jay addresses the growing concern of excessive phone and internet usage, exploring its detrimental effects on mental and physical health. He begins by explaining how activities like swiping, liking, and commenting on social media provide our brains with dopamine hits, which can create a cycle of dependency and compulsive behavior. Despite the benefits of technology, such as increased connectivity and access to information, many people feel less connected and more distracted, anxious, and impatient.
Jay elaborates on the neurological aspects of dopamine and its role in pleasure-seeking behaviors, emphasizing that problems arise when we expect constant rewards from our online activities. He draws parallels between the brain's response to food and its response to digital consumption, advocating for a balanced approach that avoids overindulgence in either.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to become more conscious of your internet use
How to have wifi-free meals
How to replace morning phone use with healthier habits
How to stay mindful when using technology
How to engage in a cell phone detox
The ultimate goal is to create a healthier, more intentional relationship with technology, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
