Avoid checking phone first thing from "summary" of My Morning Routine by Benjamin Spall,Michael Xander
In the morning, it can be tempting to reach for our phones as soon as we wake up. We want to check our messages, emails, and social media notifications. However, constantly being connected to our devices can be overwhelming and draining. That's why it's important to avoid checking our phones first thing in the morning. When we start our day by immediately looking at our screens, we are allowing outside influences to dictate our mood and energy levels. We may see something stressful or upsetting, which can set a negative tone for the rest of the day. By giving ourselves some time before checking our phones, we can establish a sense of calm and focus for the day ahead.
Instead of reaching for our phones, we can use the morning as an opportunity to set intentions and prioritize our well-being. We can take a few moments to breathe, stretch, or practice mindfulness. We can engage in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment, such as reading, meditating, or going for a walk. By starting our day in a mindful and intentional way, we can better handle whatever challenges come our way.
By avoiding the urge to check our phones first thing in the morning, we are setting boundaries with our technology. We are asserting control over our time and attention, rather than being constantly pulled in different directions by notifications and alerts. This practice can help us feel more grounded, present, and in control of our own lives. So the next time you wake up, resist the temptation to check your phone right away. Give yourself the gift of a peaceful and intentional morning routine.
