What a strong and brave addiction...

We have to do something, about it... We are all addicted to being glued to social networks from our cell phone by giving it to the screen with the cell phone facing up.
It is a new silent addiction, similar to cigarette or tobacco smoking and the.we know. the most real thing about this is that from time to time we reflect and say Uyyyyy... What a great waste of time, I'm wasting my time here... With phrases like: I've been here for more than two hours watching nonsense and some stupid things... what a nuisance with this cell phone... I have to do something!. But... We do nothing, we say we are going to drop the cell phone and in less than half an hour we look at it again.
The cell phone in my personal opinion, by the way, has become a corpormental, behavioral addiction, because it influences our behavior and our emotions, and this at the same time is a dilemma because it is also an important work tool.
Then it is important to be clear that we have to try to balance the thing, use it more "just for work" and not as entertainment, sociability, because social networks it seems that... they don't have a lot of social.
That's right, and it's very difficult, I'm one of those who tell myself over and over again, that I'm only going to use my cell phone to do productive things, ... That is, watching news from serious and recognized people, making mobile payment and buying necessary things online, etc. He also told me that I'm NOT going to get hooked up with anyone's networks, but how does self-control cost me.
I am trying to limit my current technological dependence to socialize and entertain myself, in fact there are people who ask me about why I have created digital distance?.
Really the day I understood that my life has priority and that to protect it I have created my own rules and one of them is that every decision, every step I take forward is an act of self-love and freedom.
Another of my favorite rules is: to be grateful, to enjoy the days that do not dawn loaded with so much information on my cell phone, I start the days that dawn clean because they are like a blank canvas where only I decide what I want to paint, read, to entertain myself and socialize.
Why do I do it? Because a clean day = opportunity. To this I add these optional tips: I write 1 intention and 1 action before looking at the mobile. That changes our life. It is discipline and freedom in the long run. It's also mental and emotional health, it lowers the intensity of anxiety, I stop living with my mind in alert mode, because that makes me tired.
It's not about “wanting to know everything”, it's about understanding what triggers me to decide better.

This hit hard because it’s the honest truth. Many of us know the phone is draining our time and emotions, yet we keep going back to it unconsciously.
Ufffff, I try to keep it away from my hands as much as possible, in fact I silence it at night 🤫.
