So you want to break your smartphone addiction, but the goal isn’t to toss your phone into the nearest body of water 🌊 (that might be one of the beautiful ponds at Longwood Gardens here!).

Your goal is to use tech intentionally, rather than automatically.

Think of this process as learning to have a healthy relationship with technology, one rooted in awareness and choice.

Your first step is to build awareness 🧠

✅ Start by noticing when, where, and why you reach for your device.

Is it boredom?
Stress?
Avoidance?

✅ Use your phone’s built-in screen time tracker or an app to log your daily usage.

Awareness is the foundation of change — most people underestimate their screen time by several hours a day 🤯

Our latest blog offers tips for breaking the cycle of tech addiction, without giving up the benefits of technology.

Recent research reveals 4 staggering stats that confirm what many of us already feel: our devices are taking up a lot of space in our lives ⤵️

1️⃣ About 10% or 33.19 million Americans are addicted to social media compared to the average person. (California State University 2018)

2️⃣ In the U.S., the average adult spends more than 4.5 hours a day on their phone, and nearly half self-identify as “addicted.” (Consumer Affairs, 2025 survey & Harmony Healthcare IT, 2024 report)

3️⃣ One in two teens say they are online “almost constantly.” Those who spend more than four hours a day on screens (outside schoolwork) show higher rates of anxiety and depression symptoms. (CDC report 2024)

4️⃣ In the workplace, digital distractions are estimated to reduce productivity by up to 25%, as employees struggle to focus between notifications and multitasking demands. (Insightful Study 2024)

This isn’t just a numbers problem — it’s a nervous system problem.

Too much screen time can increase stress, anxiety, and burnout — especially for working professionals and parents.

Discover simple, realistic strategies to reduce tech overload and reclaim your focus by reading our newest blog article.

Ever feel like your phone is running your life instead of the other way around? 📱

Your devices can be amazing tools — but when scrolling and notifications start to control your day, it can impact your mental health, sleep, and even your relationships.

For many of us, the constant pull to check devices is less about willpower and more about what’s happening in the brain 🧠

Notifications trigger dopamine surges—the same reward chemical that fuels other addictions.

Over time, our brains start to crave those small hits of stimulation and validation.

Learn practical, research-backed ways to reclaim your attention and balance tech in your life by reading our latest blog post.

When you feel angry, what’s your go-to calming strategy? Breathing exercises? Cold water? Taking a walk?

Your overall health plays an important part too! 💪🏽

✅ Stress: Chronic stress primes the nervous system for irritability. With today’s economic uncertainty, job pressures, and constant digital connection, many people are stuck in a heightened state of stress.

✅ Sleep deprivation: Poor rest — made worse by late-night worry scrolling or financial concerns — weakens emotional control.

✅ Lack of exercise: When the schedule feels packed, movement is often the first thing to go, leaving the body tense and restless.

✅ Medical or mental health conditions: Pain, hormonal changes, depression, or anxiety can all amplify anger.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How to control anger?” or “How can I stop feeling irritated and angry?” — try this strategy for a start. 🌱

Quick Grounding Technique

✅ Try cold water or an ice cube

Holding or splashing cold water on your face or back of neck interrupts the anger surge and brings you back to the present.

If you’re at home, try holding or throwing ice cubes in the bathtub or in the backyard.

Anger doesn’t have to control your life.

From quick calming tools like cold water to long-term support with CBT and DBT therapy, we're here to support you.

Managing anger isn’t about shutting it down -- you can actually start managing your anger by understanding it 👇🏼

Here are the 3 R’s of Anger Management:

1️⃣ Recognize

Notice early warning signs: tight chest, clenched jaw, racing thoughts.

Also, you can identify your triggers that make you feel angry or irritated, whether it’s a behavior from your child or coworker or a thing like an email.

Ask yourself, “Why am I getting angry about this?”

2️⃣ Regulate

Use calming skills to pause before reacting.

Sometimes it’s hard to use calming skills when you’re out of your window of tolerance and dysregulated.

That’s why it’s helpful to identify your triggers so you can get ahead of the anger, and use calming skills even before your body starts the early warning signs.

3️⃣ Repair

Own your actions and rebuild trust if you overreact.

Stress, past trauma, and everyday pressures can shrink our tolerance, and make us react more intensely.

Find out our clients' favorite quick grounding techniques to help them regulate in our newest blog post.
