TACKLING PHONE ADDICTION

One of the most common forms of addictions in today's world is the phone addiction, a lot of us for one reason or the other are already addicted to our devices myself included. I get this sick feeling when I stay away from my device for a period of time and to be honest I can not help it sometimes. The thing is that it did not start as a habit for me but a means of survival, I just wanted to work which made me always on my phone and this made me feel the need to always be with my phone. Then it graduated to making the most of my workspace which also happens to be my phone and laptop and that was how I became addicted.

A lot of us on the hive can not deny this fact, especially those who have come a long way, when you have found a means of income you find yourself always going to it over and over again because of the need for survival. At this point for me the only thing that would take me away from my phone is another means of income that would give me 10 times what my phone gives, but it would only reduce the phone addiction as I would still go to it for fun to chat with friends and enjoy social media.

Although I can control the time I spend with my phone, I do it by trying to be intentional in my relationships. When I am with a loved one I try as much as possible to enjoy the moment and just have a good time. But recently it hasn’t been all gloomy because things pick my interest and I just have to go to my phone. But either way, I am still growing, still learning, and I am trying to learn new ways to tackle this phone addiction.
