5 Ways You Can Break Free From Digital Addiction

In today’s Momentum Friday Passion Struck podcast episode, I tackle digital addiction and five ways that you can break free from it. Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck). 

We are immersed in an era of smartphone obsession and digital addiction. I hear it all the time: “I can’t live without my smartphone,” or “I feel apprehensive when I’m not able to check my messages,” or “If I’m not on social media, I fear I’m missing out.”

Not surprisingly, research reveals that too much technology use diminishes our physiological and physical health, human connection, our work performance and is destroying our relationships.

Short of throwing your device away, how can you learn to build better habits around technology — keeping its benefits while minimizing the adverse effects?

Because technology is becoming ubiquitous and entwined in our modern existence, we are losing our ability to have profound and spontaneous conversations with others. This is changing the nature of our social interactions in alarming ways.
