I Wish Someone Had Told Me Adults Have the Worst Phone Habits

Published 3 weeks ago

Description

We tell our kids to get off their phones…But, um, if we’re honest, we’re often the worst offenders. 🤭

So how do we actually build healthy, sustainable phone habits that work in real life?

In part two of my I Wish Someone Had Told Me series, I’m back with psychotherapist Niro Feliciano, and we’re not just naming the problem—we’re talking about how to fix it.

We talk about:

Why adults actually have the worst phone habits
The surprising stat about Gen Z that might give you hope
Why more time online can leave us feeling more disconnected
The “slow living” movement and simple ways to start
Practical, doable habits you can implement right away

If you’ve ever picked up your phone for one thing… and lost 30 minutes, you’re not alone.

The goal isn’t to ditch your phone, it’s to finally feel in control of it!

Let’s Talk About It.
