You would rise again the next day, the sun will come up, and you will keep moving forward.

And I want you to have this perspective with whatever is going on on your phone.

If you wake up tomorrow and you lost all your followers, your friends didn't text you, that does not define your life.

But we give it so much power and we place it on such a high pedestal where most of us actually do let it define the value of what's going on in our life.

We place our phone...

as almost a defining factor of everything else.

Oh, if people are texting me, that means my friendships are going well.

Oh, if I'm getting enough likes and followers, that means my career is going well.

And I just quickly want to put emphasis on the fact that we cannot keep destroying the reality that is right in front of us because we are too hyper fixated on escaping this reality to enter a fake one.

We as humans are not designed to live in isolation.

We are designed to love and interact with one another.

And it's so ironic to me that we think we are creating more interaction with other people by entering our phone.

Like what?

You watching videos over and over again about people you will never meet, people you'll never talk to again, people you'll never see in real life, people who don't even care about you.

We somehow in our twisted brains think that consuming more of that

Somehow, we have put the intangible, the ideas of things, the people we compare ourselves to, the lives we wish we had, the people who we're obsessed with keeping up with, somehow we've gotten to a point where we idolize that so much more.

To the point where we will let ourselves self-isolate.

We will prioritize what's on the screen over what's right in front of us.

And I think that will be a very fatal flaw long term.

what about what's all around you we've hardwired ourselves to the point where we would rather look at someone else's life or look at the life on our phone instead of the life that is right in front of us so i'm going to dive into a few actionable things that i have done that have helped me create a divide between me and my phone number one thing you're going to do if you haven't already which i hope you have is set your screen time limits make it reasonable for whatever you have now
