Step away from the smartphone. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as we love being glued to our iPhones<\/a>, the truth is that they\u2019re not always as good for you as you\u2019d think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, your smartphone makes you more productive (sometimes) at work. Plus, it gives you a handy way to communicate with friends and colleagues via text, audio, video, and email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, just like sugar or nicotine, smartphones are also incredibly addictive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is pick up your smartphone to clear an alert from the screen, and before you know it, you\u2019re three hours into an Instagram binge session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having our phones and other devices constantly in our hands is making us hyperconnected, but also isolated, distracted, and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we might be attached to the people and stories on our phones, we\u2019re ignoring what\u2019s going on in the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound familiar?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be time for a digital detox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
