Women2WomenSummer2021 - 29

depressing thing I've read on the internet recently and that's saying
something given the current state of our world, from the pandemic to
American politics and everything
in between.
In my research, I also discovered and downloaded an app called
Wellpaper that promises to track your phone usage and display it
in a highly visible way on your phone's home and/or lock screen. It
updates each time you unlock your phone and you can clearly see
where you stand. While my Google Pixel phone has a digital wellbeing
function with similar information, you have to click around to find it. I
can count the number of times I have actually viewed it on one hand.
This app will display that insight every time I look at the phone, so I
am hoping it will help reduce my usage.
In the face of all these distressing discoveries, I believe another key
to solving (or at least easing) this whole riddle is mindfulness. The
more I progress through life, the more I learn that being present has
a drastic positive effect on my feelings, emotions and overall sense of
well-being. Looking at a phone constantly robs us of presence and, in
turn, of feeling content.
I am still going to try and give up the phone for 24 hours (check
back next issue maybe?!), but in the meantime, let's try and avoid
snaildom together.
