if you cant get yourself to put your phone away quite yet, just get yourself to look at the room behind your phone, or the real world, as a constant practice. its like when the screen used to go black between eisodes of netflix loading. a reality check. it feels good, i promise. foreground the bavkground, even for a moment. be kind to yourself

go on a walk without your phone, mute the chat, organize an emergency hang with the homies, whatever. you literally just have to fill your mind with something else

recent mental health booster I stumbled onto when my phone ended up dead one morning, so I went to a cafe near me to journal/read for a couple hours without it. there were so many times I phantom reached for my it like the addict I am, very glad I couldn’t that day or else stupid things would have been done. I was forced to sit in the moment and process my thoughts without being able to actively do anything or contact anyone. did it the next day purposely and I had such a good day.
leave your phone at home sometimes when you’re bumming around your area doing small errands! also forces you to learn your surroundings rather than relying on google maps.

i just spent 2 weeks with fully no phone. phone addiction comes back quick but it was a great experience. recommend making time/planning to do it, or to just do it spontaneously like break your phone, like me.
get a notebook, a pen
get really into packing your bag so you always have things to entertain u
enjoy waking up to the sound of birds
if you dont make time to do it, you will have a phone with you till the day you die, or the collapse of society strips it from you.
