If you find yourself reaching for your phone out of habit, try the mindful phone check. Before picking up your device, pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Ask yourself what you truly need right now. Is it information, connection, a break, or just a distraction? This simple pause can help you become more aware of your actions and make choices that better support your well-being. By checking in with yourself first, you can break the cycle of automatic scrolling and use your phone more intentionally.
