Calmly Coping Smartphone Anxiety Is Real — Here’s What Helped Me
Smartphones are now ubiquitous, and although they offer many benefits, they can also become a source of anxiety. Worrying about responding to notifications, the feeling of being constantly available, and coming across triggering content on social media are just a few causes. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact ways I set up and use my phone to feel calmer, more focused, and less reactive. You’ll learn simple changes to reduce mindless checking, set clear boundaries, and use your phone in a way that actually supports your mental health.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How compulsive phone use feeds anxiety (especially for high-achievers)
- The exact setup I use to support calm, clarity, and presence
- Practical tips and mindset shifts to structure your phone more intentionally
