Here are some signs that show you that you are addicted to your smartphone and simple solutions to get out of smartphone addiction.
Not a day passes without your phone
People who are addicted to using their phone all the time will not be able to survive without it even for a single day. If you accidentally leave your phone at home and realize it only midway, then you might make it a point to go home and get the phone as you cannot be without it. In simpler words, you might feel incomplete without your phone.
You take it along to the bathroom
If you are too addicted to your phone, then there are increased chances for you to take the phone with you everywhere you go. This includes even the bathroom. If you start taking your phone to the bathroom, then it eventually takes a longer time than usual to come out as you will be involved in it.
You use your phone even in social gatherings
Occasions and social settings are meant to be enjoyed. The purpose of the same is to talk to people around you and not to be glued to your phone. However, you might be glued to your phone doing something or the other instead of interacting with the others.
You check your phone for no reason
You will develop the habit of checking your phone constantly without any valid reason. You will just feel the need to be on your phone though you are not expecting any important phone calls or messages.
Checking your phone first thing in the morning
Do you find yourself checking your phone first thing you wake up in the morning or before you sleep at night? In that case, you might be heavily addicted to your phone. Remember that this behavior is unhealthy and it can disturb your sleep patterns if you are checking it in between sleep.
You carry your phone in your hand all the time
Instead of carrying your phone in your pocket or bag, you always carry it in your hand. Keeping your phone in your hand will eventually make you check it constantly as you will have a better access to the screen.
You see your phone as a stress buster
Do you find yourself relying on your phone a little too often whenever things get awkward? If your answer is yes, then you are probably addicted to your phone. It can be your savior every once in a while, but if you find yourself relying on it a little too often, then you might be addicted.
Set limits to the usage
Start by setting some guidelines to help you manage your usage. For example, you might make it a goal to wait one hour after waking up before reaching for your phone or keep it turned off during dinner,
Let it go unchecked
Do you feel like you have to immediately respond to every call, text, or email that comes your way? Try letting a call go to voicemail or leaving a text unread until you can give it your full attention. Gradually, increase the number of times you wait until you're truly available to respond.
Get along with your feelings
Identifying your emotional state gives you a clue as to why you're going for the phone. Are you bored, anxious, stressed out, or lonesome? Once you start to understand the feelings that lead you to lean on your smartphone and you can seek other ways to find relief.
