Think your phone is helping you relax? It’s not. Here’s why:

🧠 It keeps your brain on high alert. Endless scrolling overstimulates your nervous system, making it hard to shift into rest mode.

⚡ It drains your energy. Quick dopamine hits from notifications and videos leave you feeling anxious and exhausted.

😞 It distracts you from your emotions. Instead of processing stress or boredom, you numb it—making it harder to grow emotionally.

🌙 It messes with your sleep. Blue light tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime, throwing off your sleep cycle.

Real relaxation doesn’t come from a screen. It comes from connecting with yourself:

• 🧘‍♀️ Take deep breaths.

• ✍️ Write it out.

• 🌿 Go for a walk.

These help your body reset and feel truly calm and at peace.
