Don’t use your phone in Bed

Scientists state that using your smartphone in bed is not a good idea because the blue light disturbs your sleep hormones. So, to get rid of phone addiction, first of all, begin with making your bed a phone-free zone.

Banish the Morning Updates

We tend to check our phones, first thing in the morning. In order to get rid of this habit, buy a real alarm clock. Do not set your alarm on the phone. When you, switch off your alarm on the phone, there is a tendency to check for notifications. Hence, try to delve away from it.

Phone-less Table Manners

You must see that frown on your parent’s faces when they see you using the phone at the dinner table. That’s very obvious. Mealtime is the most important, in terms of your entire wellbeing. Keep your phone away from the kitchen while cooking, and while eating. Tiny steps like these will help you get rid of the addiction.

De-Clutter Your Phone

Delete all those apps which you don’t use much. There must be multiple music apps, photo editing apps and so on. Delete the unnecessary apps, to avoid useless pop of notifications.

Airplane Mode to The Rescue

Put your phone on airplane mode, once you reach home after work/school. Have an hour to yourself, clean up the room, refresh yourself. Put on some music and enjoy the sense of being there in the moment. Do some yoga/meditation.

Phone-Free Day

Have a phone-free day once a week. It will give you some perspective in life. You can do some hobby activities, learn something new, etc. There is so much time and are so many things to do once you realize that you’ve been wasting time scrolling through the feed.

These are some small steps that can help you each and every day. Phone addiction is not so strong that it can not be removed. Just follow the rules for 21 days, and you will be in a healthy phone diet.
