Detoxing and Refreshing

At the start of the year, I made some new year resolutions which have been progressing well, but I've found myself becoming obsessed with certain things, almost as an addiction and I feel I need to completely remove them from my life, even though I know that will be hard. 

First, I have become addicted to a number of apps on my phone and I feel like I need to start a clean slate and just delete them from my life completely. I downloaded them all in December and since then, I spend hours on them every day. Sudoku.com and Impulse are more brain training games and less of a problem, but Solataire Cash, Solataire Smash and ReelShort...they've got to go. So as of the start of March, I've officially deleted them. 


Second, I end up spending hours on my phone, especially in bed. Sometimes I can be scrolling through TikTok, planning just 30 minutes and still being awake 3 hours later. I want to stop this and hopefully in the process, improve my sleep. I want to start doing what I used to do and put my phone at the other side of the room, then read instead to help destress and relax at the end of the day. 


Finally, about health. I want to stop snacking on crisps and chocolate and switch to healthy alternatives. I want to restart eating a healthy breakfast. I want to stop snacking as much and I want to start going back to the gym. I was going 3 to 4 times a week in October and November, then my grandma got really sick and passed away. December restarted a low point for me and I struggled to get back into and then this year, I've made excuses and the gyms been busy with new starters, so I've put it off, but I know it's something I need to do to better myself and to feel more comfortable in my own skin.
