Have that trigger? Have like an ugly phone case. So it makes it less appealing to go for your phone and also it makes you immediately think: ah, yes, I see the phone case. So, ah, yes, because of the phone case, I know why I have the phone case. Now I have to ask myself if I should go for my phone or not.
Ever find yourself reaching for your phone without even thinking? You're not alone. In this episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup', Johan tackles the sneaky triggers that make us compulsively check our phones. From that familiar ping to a fleeting thought, triggers are everywhere.

It might sound odd, but this tactic could be your new secret weapon against mindless scrolling. By becoming more aware of both internal triggers, like emotions, and external ones, like notifications, you can start to reclaim control over your phone use. Johan's advice isn't about ditching your phone entirely; it's about using it more mindfully.
