Limit Screen Time: Reclaim Your Mind

We have become dumber more than ever because of smartphones,mobiles.Its a rampant devolution of the brain as continuous scrolling through the phone affects both your serotonin and dopamine levels.

The amygdala which is the emotional regulating center of the brain decreases on consuming content online which affects dopaminergic levels in your brain.

The more amount of entertaining content you scroll through on instagram the more your dopamine receptors require a higher threshold of dopamine the next time.Thats how social media hijacks your brain leading to all kinds of mental health problems.

The trick is to limit the amount of content you consume online,look at the screen as little as possible.Try this one thing,whenever you get up in the morning try not watching the screen for atleast an hour,keep a watch or an real alarm clock instead of the phone and look at the time after getting up from the bed.Relax yourself ,sit on the bed calmly and recollect your thoughts and delve into your mind instead.Scroll through the thoughts of your mind rather than instagram.

Then after that you can just hit the gym or go running to start your day.This will give you a headstart for the day.It will give you a fresh start instead of staring at the phone,watching some reels and starting off lazy.

It is better to switch off your phones once in a while,recollect your thoughts and start the day.
