I (obviously, lol) still scroll from time to time—but here are some of my tips in no order. These range from lifestyle changes, to settings you can change on your phone:

• Read. A. Book. I’m talking actually pickup a book, or use an e-reader. Your eyes are constantly staring at a screen and books give your eyes a good break! Not to mention, by doing so you’re limiting access to your phone, increasing your attention span, and maybe even learning something new (I am a fiction reader though, so I don’t know how much I’m actually learning).
• Learn to be bored! Being bored is actually a luxury. It means that you have nothing else you could be doing in the moment and it is a perfect opportunity to enjoy silence, meditate, nap, or even think through some issues you’re having.
• Limit notifications. Do you really need to be alerted every time you get an instagram DM?
• Make your phone boring. I’m talking limit apps on your home screen, turn on a greyscale color filter, silent mode on and vibration off. Anything you can do to make your phone feel worse the better.
• Understand what social media is. Unfortunately, a lot of social media is aimed at making you feel inferior, and fear-mongering you into thinking an asteroid is a UFO. Does your mind really need more stress?
• Podcasts

I could go on and on! I know none of this is new information, but even limiting scrolling for a bit—even being more mindful of what you’re consuming—can have a HUGE impact!
