“Your greatest power in this life lies in what you choose to give your attention to” - mee

Asking for a friend, but uhh you check your screen time lately? I think we all have lowkey gotten beyond the point of caring to a certain extent. Like yeahhh that’s scary, buuut I use my phone for everything, so it’s not like that’s just doom scrolling. For me, a flip phone is sounding more and more appealing each day. However, there is a cheat code… let’s just say, stop putting all your eggs in one basket.

As someone who uses social media as an outlet for creativity and self-expression, I have found myself in a huge, all-consuming dilemma: how do I exist in the present moment while still creating and sharing my life online? How do I give less attention to my phone in a world where that is an expected behavior? Maybe this isn’t your specific struggle, and for that reason, we’re going through a huge pros n cons list. When provided the whole picture, my hope is for you to pinpoint your positive intentions as well as problem areas. 

Ultimate goal: get you to use that mf phone less and connect more!

I’m here for you & rooting for you always! Xo
