Episode 15: Device Addiction & the Search for Real Happiness

from Mental Hygiene · host Mental Hygiene Podcast

Our phones connect us, educate us, and make life more convenient—but they also quietly take over our attention. With endless notifications, likes, and instant rewards, many of us find ourselves reaching for devices without even thinking.   In this episode, we explore device addiction through modern psychology as well as the yogic understanding of the mind. Why is it so hard to stop scrolling? Why does online validation feel good in the moment but often leave us wanting more?   From app blockers and phone-free spaces to spending more time in nature and with our pets, we'll explore simple practices that help us reconnect with the present moment.   We also discuss the power spending time with your mental screen daily.   Technology isn't the problem. The challenge is learning to use it consciously and in moderation so that it enhances our lives rather than distracts us from them. Join us for a conversation on attention, presence, and finding real happiness in an increasingly digital world.
