cha@paintlife.nzWhy reflection matters
Every now and then, while busy living our lives and following the same routine, it's useful to stop, think and reflect on our automatic behaviours, duties, relationships and habits.
Reflection helps us see how far we've come, notice what's genuinely changed, and choose, consciously, which of these new habits are worth carrying forward.
What other people have reflected
By doing this challenge I felt much more connected with the people around me, and I felt like I got more done!
I feel I have gotten better at putting my phone away and focusing on other things, especially schoolwork and spending time with family and friends.
My days feel longer and less chaotic. Mornings are no longer spent mindlessly scrolling in bed.
I stopped waking up early to doomscroll, and that alone has affected me in a big way. I'm more focused, and ready for whatever the day wishes to bring me.
More sleep. I learnt that I would rather sleep than be on my phone. I'm really happy because I'm not sitting on my phone all day, I go hang out with my friends.
By the end of this challenge, I felt refreshed, and I'll try to continue it beyond.
Thank you so much for taking part and seeing the whole Smart Phone Challenge through. I truly hope you've created positive, healthier smartphone habits that you can carry with you and keep enjoying every single day.
