Ways to Combat A Smart Phone Addiction

More Americans are finding it harder to live without their smartphones.  The constant need to be connected is becoming mainstream.

But limiting your smart phone use may improve your mood.

Researchers from Korea University found that “the overuse of smartphones and the internet is creating a chemical imbalance in the bran that leads to anxiety and depression within the user.”

If you’re struggling to give up your smartphone, there are small steps you can take to limit its control.

Don’t sleep with it next to your bed. 

Turn it off. 

Leave the phone at your house while you go outside and exercise. 

If you have a substantial addiction to your smartphone, seek out a counselor.
