Ello Mindful People! Obs here!! smiley

Mindfulness seems like becoming an antidote for stress and burnout and developing self awareness and feeling alive in this moment. One of the reason for distraction these days are our phones. We're in constant touch with our phones. So, how to set up a healthy relationship with our phones? surprise Or define boundaries?? surprise

I think setting specific parameters to its usage could help us to have a mindful relationship with phone. Like, while eating, I keep my phone away. While working on some thing, I always put my phone on vibration. Or if in meeting, used to put it on Flight Mode. I think thats why my phone most of the time either in flight mode or vibration mode.

It is suggested that when you are with your loved ones, keep your phones away and build healthy relation with your loved ones. Mindfulness is like that apple which could help you to keep a doctor away. blush Those who are mindful, generally while interacting or communicating, make eye contacts and look up from their phone screens. It also relfect the significance of unitask here. And when they do so, they develop and maintain stronger connection in their relationships.

So, hows your relationship with your phone? How you practice mindfulness with it? Tell us!!

I do not have that problem but i find in general that making sure to be available all the time (by phone) is becoming far to important. we make a huge effort so that we can be reached by others to get information (how much info is really urgent?) but less effort to be mindful. (generally speaking).

I never use my phone during dinner, it isn't even with me at the table, but somewhere upstairs. Same goes for when we have a family night or such, even if it's just watching a movie together. I just leave my phone in my room. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

And lastly, I want to make it a habbit to turn of my phone an hour before bed, unless I feel the need to do some guided meditation before going to sleep. But even then I don't want to use it for anything else but the guided meditation at least an hour before sleep.

During studying I find it hard to ignore my phone though, mostly because I use it for studying sometimes too. But when it's in your hand, you just can't keep yourself from checking out the new messages you got. Any advise??

Most times I can't find my phone anyway. I use my phone mostly for navigation

I know that my phone plays an important part in my daily life. It IS my BFFsad But I have at times put that darn thing in the car-to be present in what I am doing. Like now, someone is hangout chatting with me. Plus I'm here.

But I will not start judging me for doing this. Mindfulness is a good thing even for boundaries on my phone. I am going to stop that little thing being the center of my life. Enjoy eating, kids, shopping without it. Thank you for reminding me on this- wow even a phone can be a "controler"heart
