⊹ ࣪ ˖ My story ⊹ ࣪ ˖ A year ago i fully customized my phone. I have tried customizing before using shortcuts on iphone, but it seemed so tedious i never finished. I finally completed the customization this time, i even drew all the icons and a custom wallpapee (with some encouragement from a loved one). The result was a cute food-themed phone that is calming to look at and makes me feel at home.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ Why? ⊹ ࣪ ˖
No more generic icons ★ Dont have to stare at generic icons, which may be subconsciously having an effect on me (think: advertising to me everytime I open my phone, seeing certain colors, just boring or uninspiring)
Fully immerse myself in MY world ★ Considering the amount of time I spend on my phone, work and leisure, I better decorate it to feel at home. Everytime i walk in i feel welcome and comfortable. I choose the colors and decoration I surround myself with.
Get to know myself better ★ I needed to think about what REALLY resonates with me since this is what I will be looking at it everyday. Flowers? Food? Cute things? And also what I value: do I value calm? Do I value inspiration? Maybe something more high energy? These are some of the questions to ask.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ How? ⊹ ࣪ ˖
First, delete apps you are not using or remove them off the homepage.
Next, either install a "profile" or use the shortcuts app (iphone). There are apps that lets you install a profile. The one I started with is photowidget, but a search in the app store shows tons of apps for this purpose. Try em out. For more customization, use the shortcuts app.
💫 ⊹ Make the commitment ⊹ ࣪ ˖
Expect it to take a while. Make it a fun weekend activity. Or stretch it out across multiple days. Make a commitment to yourself to finish the whole "rennovation" so you can have a sparkly brand new phone that brings you joy to look at and will help you maxx your life.
You got this!
Optional: get a matching phonecase and charms ^_^
