You really want to have these counter triggers in place that can make you question your own behavior, that action, and then, in that space, that realization, there's this freedom of choice where you then consciously decide to go for your phone or take a different action.
Ever feel like your phone has a mind of its own, pulling you in every few minutes? Johan’s latest episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup' is all about taking back control. We live in a world bombarded with triggers that make us reach for our phones without even thinking. Johan introduces the concept of 'counter triggers'—small actions that snap us out of this automatic behavior. One easy trick he shares is placing your phone upside down. Sounds simple, right?
But it can be surprisingly effective. When you see your phone in this unusual position, it creates a tiny pause, a moment to decide if you really need to pick it up. This small change can lead to more mindful and intentional phone use. Johan dives into the science behind why we’re so hooked on our devices and offers practical advice to help break the cycle.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their screen time and looking for straightforward strategies to regain control.
