Me and my partner really want to reduce our use of screens/screen time.
I read how many experts believe that certain kinds of screen time can trigger such a large dopamine release in our brains reward pathway that is just as addictive as the dopamine high you can get from meth or heroin.
When I read this aloud to my partner we looked at each other and we knew we had to change the amount of screen time we have.
So he started looking for some new books to read. I started thinking of more options of small activities to do instead of mindless scrolling etc.
Some ideas I came up with so far:
•Reading! (Of course)
•Playing card or board games
•Playing our vinyls (we finally have our turntable installed)
•Gardening (of course, the weather seems to finally get better!)
•Puzzles/puzzlebooks
•Cloud or Star gazing (Can't wait for warmer days and nights to do this)
There must be more!
I feel a bit silly how doing so much on my phone is so normal that I can't even think of more right now 🤭
Any Ideas? ☺️
