Tip 6:

Tame Your Tech Time

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

—Anne Lamott

At the beginning of this guide, you learned that anxiety isn’t something you can pull like a weed. It’s not something that gets neatly extracted from your life with one good yank. It would be amazing if that were the case, but since it’s not, you’re making tons of tiny tweaks that not only help you with anxiety but also help you be the most badass version of yourself in all areas of your life.

In the spirit of e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g your feel-good, it’s time to talk about a force in your life that has a lot of power over the way you feel: screen time.

Okay, so spoiler alert, this is not your favorite topic. You’re bored of it and why wouldn’t you be? You didn’t invent the candy store of devices, apps, and platforms abounding—that came from the adult world. And yet they just won’t shut up about your use of them.

Do any of the following admonishments sound familiar?

Put your phone away. Now!

Put your phone away or I’ll take it.

You’re stuck on your screen again?!?

Get off that device and come be with us!

Don’t you dare be on your phone when company gets here.

Who are you texting?

What do you do on your phone anyway? Are you sexting?!

I’m going to throw that device out the window!
