14. Phone Freedom: Regaining Control for Fitness and Life

In this episode, Lisa explores the impact of mobile phone usage on our fitness and overall well-being. She dives deep into the patterns behind constant phone-checking, including the 'random reward' effect, fear of missing out (FOMO), and the quest for social validation. Lisa also discusses the concept of setting boundaries with technology to create more balance and free time for healthier activities. She offers multiple strategies to manage phone habits, such as setting specific checking times, turning off non-essential notifications, replacing phone time with healthier habits, limiting social media time, and even considering a digital detox. Lisa also emphasises the importance of asking yourself whether your phone usage contributes positively towards your personal goals and prioritising healthier habits over being 'bossed around' by your phone.
