57 Things You Can Enjoy if You are Not a Phone Addict

With the increasing number of people that have a more personal relationship with their cell phones, it has become crucial to keep the phones aside for a while and do something productive. In this WellnessKeen post, we have compiled a list of 57 activities phone addicts can engage in by themselves, with family members, and/or friends.

You’re a phone addict if you …

1. keep it in your hands 24/7.
2. need to charge it before the day ends.
3. take it with you in the loo.
4. browse/text/email even at a social gathering.
5. read this article on your phone.

Imagine a scenario―that mini heart attack moment when you don’t feel your phone in your pocket. If you’re nodding and agreeing with this statement at the same time, let us be the ones to tell you that it’s not a wondrous scenario to be proud of.

Checking emails, texts, and social media notifications every few minutes may be the norm lately, but it shouldn’t be a way of life for us. Surely, our beautiful world is a much better place to be where you can spend quality time with human beings (and some animals). Don’t let your cell phone addiction dominate your life and interfere with work and relationships. Do give yourself an opportunity to not be a phone addict and enjoy the simpler things in life.
