I’ve been seeing “go analog” everywhere lately, and I won’t lie, I was influenced for a second. I took a ‘mostly’ (because no-one’s perfect), week off last week and enjoyed the down time.
I even considered buying one of those brick devices, that block your app access, but actually weighing it all up decided against. If you have one and it helps, then great but I do think it’s a wider problem it’s masking.
The REAL question is, are we outsourcing self-control?
And before anyone comes for me - if a brick or app blocker helps you interrupt the cycle, I completely get it, no shame.
But it’s not the thing that creates long-term change, because it isn’t really about your phone, it’s about the automatic habit of reaching for it.
So this week I didn’t delete anything. I started to find more things that gave me healthy dopamine. Long walks in green spaces, brunch with my girlies, music blasting in my kitchen whilst pottering (I’d totally forgotten just how much I like to potter) and I just slowed the hell down and stopped filling every moment.
My mind honestly felt noticeably quieter, which says everything.
if your brain feels constantly “on”, this is exactly the work we do inside my program The Calm Code. We stop the patterns that lead to unhealthy and unwanted behaviour. But we do it, through rewiring the subconscious that believes right now living life at 100mph, constantly reaching for your phone, comparing yourself to everyone else and overthinking EVERYTHING is the safest option.
It’s not and it’s holding you back from living a completely fulfilled life.
I’m looking to work with two people who want more than their current reality and are willing to put in the work to live a more aligned, deeply enriching and sustainable lifestyle.
DM ‘CALM’ for your free consultation call. I’m already excited for you .
Jools 🤍
