I think God is calling me to fast from my phone as it is destructive in my life. Though I don’t look at , online causes much anxiety, even from Christian sources. I also find myself not doing what I want to do because it get so distracted by the screen.
But I will be hard to give up because everyday that goes by the world becomes more reliant on screens. So giving up my phone means giving up music, weather information, communication with others, and asking questions. Any idea of how I can do that? How I can use it for essentials only?
Also, I’ve realized that I’m consuming too much junk food. Unfortunately that’s difficult to me right now where I can’t cook and all the food provided is junk. Any ideas how to eat less?
I use my laptop more so than my phone, but it’s the same idea. So a few years back my internet provider had a problem and I had no internet for 2 days. Once I got into it, it was wonderful, but at the first it was very hard. I had no choice.
With a phone fast and a food fast, it takes the same thing. Self discipline. I wouldn’t eat less and become hungry. Just change what you eat to good stuff and learn how to recognize when your body has had enough and stop. Smaller portions. No food after dinner.
Can you come up with something to replace the time you spend on the phone? A walk? Friends? Find something else to do.
That’s all I can think of and I’ve tried both. If you really want it, it can happen.
