40: I'm an Addict. Unplugging from the Phone

I am an addict. You probably are as well. 75 percent of adult Americans have their phone within arms reach 24 hours a day. That is startling! How have we become so dependent on a device that connects us, but at the same time, doesn't connect us? After hearing this statistic while listening to a different podcast, Deidra shares the personal challenge she made to herself with her phone, how she has started to unplug, and why it has become life changing. Are you guilty of always being "available?" It is okay to turn it off, not reply, and get back to that text, call, or email later. In fact, it is actually paramount not only to your mental health, but to your productivity and happiness. Listen in to find out how you can start monitoring your phone usage and take back the lost hours of scrolling in order to get more, do more, and live more!   Links:  Tony Robbins podcast Moment App for phone monitoring  This is your one stop shop for style, fashion, health and fitness.
