Phone use will TANK your dopamine, increase cortisol, increase blue light exposure and all the rest of it.

BUT there is a hidden reason why it can be harmful for you...

Think about being in a room or social setting where other people are head down in their phone. Even at the gym, most people are head down in their phone.

Is this conducive to social magic? Do you feel like saying hi to those people?

The magic of synchronicity occurs when two seemingly unrelated themes in your life match up in some ‘coincidental’ fashion that has a higher meaning, or when you are thinking about someone that morning and they text you later on, or you bump into them randomly when you’re out and about.

Those little threads of energetic connection will often lead to our most rewarding experiences and successes.

NONE of this occurs when your focus is on the little electronic portal in your pocket that sucks your attention out of the physical reality.

The empty wandering of a walking man, thinking about his life and PONDERING. His greatest ideas and messages from God...
Replaced by TOKTIK silly dancing or other meme nonsense.

If you immediately go to browsing on your phone when you experience every moment of boredom, then you are completely eliminating the time that incredible ideas and thoughts can come to you.

Why are ‘shower thoughts’ a thing? Because often that’s the only time in the day where people are just focused on the task at hand, or nothing at all.

No distraction of other people, or of their phone with them.

Of course, I am on my phone more than I would like due to the nature of my content creation and businesses.

BUT, I do make a point to do these things:

• No phone one hour before bed
• No phone at dinner
• No phone in social settings, leave it in the car
• Specific walking times without phone
• Airplane mode, no headphones when out and about unless I need to do something

The phone is a tool to use for our goals. Don’t let it become what so many people have made it: the reason for your mental issues or lack of progress in life.
