This is so timely...I cringed at the influx of notifications on my phone this morning, feeling overwhelmed & anxious before the day had even started. I set it aside and when I picked up my phone again later, this was the first thing I read & listened to. Appreciate the reminder that boundaries aren't just for relationships with other people, boundaries are also important to how we relate to ourselves and the ever present devices we use.
One thing i've been practicing lately is keeping my phone screen set to grayscale most of the time. I find it much quieter for my brain, and I feel like it's easier to put my phone down and give my attention to other things when my phone isn't a carnival of color and brightness. It's a tiny change, but it's been making a difference.

I love the grayscale suggestion! I'm gonna do it!
