Have you ever realized you might be truly dependent on your phone? Not just the trendy term "addicted" that we often use casually, but a genuine, serious dependency. Do you ever get the feeling that life without your phone is unimaginable? In this episode, we explore the significance of taking a break from your device, even if just for a little while, and how it can positively affect your mental well-being. There's a lot to unpack, including how smartphone dependency can resemble other forms of addiction.
