HOW YOUR PHONE IS CHANGING YOU... 

The blue light on your phone prevents you from:
- going into a deep sleep
- falling asleep
​- creating melatonine to help you sleep

Looking at your phone causes MYOPIA (near sightedness):
-​ half of the population needs glasses

We are becoming humpback whale:
​- people curve their backs to look at their phones

why you should do a social media detox

1. There are 4.7 hours spent on social media a day (on average). We could be MORE PRODUCTIVE with our time. 
2. Less social media can allows you to be less stressed
3. Have more space in your brain for other things... 
4. Feel like you have MORE TIME 
5. Without social media you are MORE HELPFUL and MORE KIND
6. AT THE END OF THE DETOX, YOU APPRECIATE YOUR PHONE MORE AND USE IT BETTER 

DAY 7 CHECK-IN 

Why did you decide to commit to the detox? (2 REASONS)
I decided to take on the detox because I wanted to challenge myself. I also think that this is a good opportunity for growth. I want to see if I can be strong and not go on. I also want to see if I feel better without Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram.

​How has it been so far, not using social media? (What are your thoughts, comments, feelings, anxieties?) 
It has been very hard not using Twitter. I have an easier ability to not go on Instagram and Snapchat but I have been living FOMO with Twitter. I constantly want to check to see what is going on without me. I often stop myself from looking for the app on my phone. 

What my students are saying:

Why did you decide to commit to the detox?

I decide to do this because it's a good opportunity to see who your are.

So the reason that I decide to commit to the detox, it because I just need some time off of my phone and the social medial.  

I'm only doing it once a week but today it's been really relaxing I can sorta focus more and see more reality.
​
I decide to commit to do the detox for my perants  to stop annoying me and to see to if i could last 5 days whit none of the social media.

I decided to commit to the detox because I know can do it for month. I like to do challenge it help to concentrate on other things or sometime I read a book. 

how are you feeling so far? 

So far it been good, my feeling is I am more happy, I have lass stress and I sleep better.

I'm not having any anxieties or feelings about it but my thoughts about it are I can been mentally  healthier  and my comments is this is a good thing to do when your stressed.

I am feeling just fine. 

I think so far is going good because wan i did not have a phone I can not go on social media at all for a year.  So I got  a year of practice. ​
