Episode 14: Put Your Phone Down To Quell The Happiness Recession

I have a complicated relationship with technology.

I love the connectivity and community and see the potential for it to be an incredibly good force in our lives. Adversely I also see the addiction and divisiveness that it can create with irresponsible reporting and doom shares. 

There is clear research that when we started to bring the internet outside with us wherever we went, happiness levels started to drop. It’s easy to blame the technology but the truth is we are more in control of our screen time and feeds as individuals than anyone.

I challenge you to audit your feed (remove channels that provide you with negativity, no value or entertainment) and to also limit the time you are on a screen when outside or away from your home/desk. Just a few minutes a day of connecting with the outside world can make a major difference in your happiness levels, your ability to be present, and just generally, to UNPLUG from the internet. 

If we all did this, the world would be a much happier place.

I believe in you, you should too. 

Share this episode with someone who would benefit from engaging with their surroundings a bit more, and let others know that you believe in them when deserved. It’s a small thing we can all do to leave this place better than we found it.

I believe in YOU, your friends, your family, your team, and the power of belief in each other, and you should too.
