...See more Hi! I’m new but I thought this might be helpful? it’s always so annoying when parents say all our problems come from our phone… I’m starting to be like that parent! 😭 I notice a HUGE difference between mornings I go on my phone vs when I don’t go on my phone immediately your morning needs to have low dopamine activities (LDAs) to high dopamine activities (HDAs) if you go on your phone immediately, you’re probably going to not make your bed, because your bed is way more boring (compared) to a phone, even though it’s nice to clean things low dopamine activities don’t even lower your dopamine levels, they just don’t raise it to the extent that phones/ electronics do if you eat only super high quality and flavorful food every single day, if someone offered you a bland food, (maybe like white rice?) you would not eat it because you have all this other amazing food to eat (this metaphor is from somewhere, not sure, but it was helpful for me) so moral of the story, maybe it really is your phone! Because I noticed a huge difference in my energy levels overall when I regulated my HDAs with LDAs (I say this as I’m on my phone at 4 am, I’m working on it, but the first step to solving a problem is identifying it!) don’t know if anyone is going to see this, but if you do, youre awesome. I’m so proud of you. And you’re definitely going far in life, you’re a beautiful soul have a great day love :) -Ashley
