Here are some tips that will help you get rid of anxiety over being phoneless or reduce your risk of phone addiction.
Disable the Internet connection. Take up your courage to disable the Internet connection on your smartphone. 36 Needless to say, you will save o lot of cash on it.
Find your passion. 37 Find your dream job and you will leave your “best friend” at least for a while. If you have nothing to do at home, try a new hobby that will distract you from all those apps and social media.
Purchase an ordinary phone. No smartphones. No iphones. Remember those times when we used phones in emergency situations only or when we wanted to invite someone to a party. 38
Don’t let the fear control you. 39 Claim your joy. I can only speak for myself here, but I think that a smartphone is one of the worst inventions. It’s useful and helpful at times, but it has ruined many happy lives and relationships. That’s because we allow our phones to control us.
40 The fear of being phoneless is a serious problem. It’s like drug or cigarette addiction. If you want to change your life, sell your expensive smartphone, buy an ordinary one, and become a sociable person. There are so many wonderful people that can bring joy into our life.
