Set Your Intention: Mindful Phone Use for a Healthier Life
Ever find yourself mindlessly scrolling through your phone, only to wonder where the last hour went? Johan, the host of 'SocialMediaBreakup', gets it. In this episode, he tackles the all-too-common gap between our good intentions and our actual actions, especially when it comes to phone use. Johan dives into the idea of setting an intention before you even unlock your phone. Why?
Because being clear about what you plan to do can help you stick to it and avoid falling down the rabbit hole of endless app-checking. Johan emphasizes that we often judge ourselves by our intentions rather than our actions, which can lead to a disconnect between what we say we want to do and what we actually end up doing. By asking yourself, 'What’s my intention?' before picking up your phone, you bring a level of consciousness to your actions.
This small habit can make a big difference in how you use your time and energy. He also shares practical tips on how to declare your intention out loud or write it down. This act of making your intention public—even if it's just to yourself—creates a sense of accountability. You’re less likely to get sidetracked by notifications and more likely to stay focused on your original purpose.
Whether you’re trying to cut down on screen time, be more productive, or simply live more in the moment, this episode offers actionable advice to help you align your actions with your intentions. Perfect for anyone looking to reclaim control over their digital habits and live a more intentional life.
