for me its 13 hours :( I am trying to fix it though and I struggle with depression so it makes sense

Kafka is so proud of you mother

I just realized something the phone is a tool to use for us people. But we are becoming the tools of the phone. We are addicted to it.

This is a real issue in our society that many of us don’t want to admit, I’ve seen a lots of youtubers talking about this topic and the views are over millions yet people still are addicted to social media, including me, it’s like an escapism from reality and a “modern” coping mechanism of early trauma

I've noticed this, too, Jasmina. Yes, there are a LOT of videos on youtube talking about this, yet very few people are willing to get a small flip phone and cut way back on staring at their phones so much and actually participate in their lives.

I needed this so badly. Thank you mother.

This is what I need after feeling frustrated because of overusing my phone.

Tbh last week I had a moment of realization about how dangerous the phone is By losing focus and feeling depressed for no reason like its so bad frrr

This is so true. I’ve been addicted to my phone since I was a young child. It was a way for me to forget about my worries/anxietys. It’s so toxic though because these worries would just build up until I exploded. I feel so unmotivated in my life. A lot of people don’t like themselves and they don’t understand why. Well here’s the truth. You don’t love yourself because you never do what you need. You scroll on TikTok instead of cleaning you room, you talk to random people online instead of making real connections, and you hide your emotions till you explode. You are worthy of everything, please don’t let addiction stop you from becoming yourself. ❤️

I deleted all my social media almost 2 months ago. My overall mood and mental clarity has greatly improved, and now I’m seeing other ways I use technology to distract myself. Even being on KZread now, getting an email notification, a text message- it’s a dopamine hit. Soon will be removing all notifications from my phone, and only using a computer to check emails and KZread

@@nadine2361 no, I don’t. All I’m “missing out” on is recycled issues that have always been talked about, ideas and thoughts with no credibility or value. Any the ideas and thoughts with real value get absolutely no where when they should. The arguing just for the sake of arguing, flexing your life when you’re actually miserable. Almost no one has an original thought anymore because we are all being fed the “right way to think” about things. I’ve learned a ton from the internet, but I’ve also wasted 5x more of my energy by feeling like whatever someone else was doing had any value to me. Everyone just talks in circles. There’s no answers to all the problems. It’s a great way to make us feel helpless. Also the constant up and down emotions from scrolling made my brain too full to even consider anything else. I’d laugh my ass off one video, sob the next, get angry at the next, cry again, laugh again, mad again, confused, laugh. My equilibrium was fucked and I couldn’t even see it. Suddenly my FOMO for my own life and my own story became stronger than my FOMO for someone else’s. I’m 23 today, but next week I’ll wake up 50 years old. Doom scrolling and watching mindless content 75+ days a year is not the story I want just because I rationalized it like if I didn’t keep up I would miss something important. You won’t. I started looking at historical discussions, sooo many of them were still having right now. I’ll have a facebook memory from 7 years ago, advocating for a law or something that we still have made 0 movement on and are still talking about. Try to see it. Every single point has been talked over and over and over and over before. They recycle the arguments every generation.

@Meghan144 youtube is not social media. you can use it for learning new things and improve yourself but with social media apps like instagram tiktok etc you can't do this. you just scroll and lose time with them

I'm 13 and a few months ago I deleted all social media (instagram,tiktok,snapchat) and although it hasn't been that hard, after a month or so I decided to download snapchat again because of the social barriers that come with deleting everything, especially at my age. Still, I find myself procrastinating on applications such as KZread and Tumblr, and you're right. It's a real problem. I feel trapped in a way, in a repetitive cycle. Social Media is manipulating us and taking away our free will, without us even realizing it. It's genius, really. And as beneficial it can be to spread awareness, positivity and growth, I feel like it's being misused, like it makes life meaningless because everyone around me is trapped, and only a select few really care about the effect it has on us (atleast in my age group), therefore making this journey a lonely one. I really really really wish I was a teen in the 2000's, everyone seemed so much more free, happy and healthier.

I'm kind of ranting right now, but I feel like everyone growing up too fast, I mean 10 year old's at Sephora, buying expensive skincare for they're clear, spotless skin? It's the media. I don't blame them, brands and influencers don't make content targeted toward our age group and we consume the daily thoughts and worries of 20,30 year old's. Multiple brands make lots of profit off of this, so nothing will ever change, it's only going to get worse. It's sad, really, I'm not surprised everyone my age is depressed, EXTREMLY insecure (l have some friends who've already self-harmed and had suicidal thoughts at 12!? CRAZY.) It's all just fucked up. Like, I still WANT to play mermaids in the pool, still WANT to make slime with no borax, still WANT to go to a playground or some fun slidey place with bouncy balls and play tag. But, instead of doing that, I'm told (by the media) to workout, put on makeup, cover up, but not too much. Get a boyfriend, have an "aesthetic" lifestyle, watch my diet, have millions of different skincare products, perfumes and more. I'M STILL A KID. And people just blindly follow that then they're labeled as "basic" and they should get a "personality" it's like, there's no winning. It's just a repetitive cycle that never ends. I know this is very confusing and everything but I just had to get if off my chest. I don't know. Again, really really really wish I was a teen back in the 2000's.

And honestly, in the last two weeks I didn’t delete them, but it’s because I’m bored of it. I still have them tho, but I really want to just change my entire life.

I used to be like all of you now it's like 4 hrs I've never been happier

I am done with my glowing rectangle 🥴 Thank you for the amazing video

1. Create routines : ask your self what the dream/perfect routine the best version of yourself would have & then create non negotiables & negotiables 2. Set time limits on how long you stay on apps & reward yourself for every challenge you overcome : long time pleasure over short time pleasure 3. Set your phone screen to black & white ( it makes it leass visually appealing & therefore the less colours you have on your phone , the less dopamime is going to be released when you use it 4. Get clear on what you are really missing out : 5 hours of daily screen time is in total 75 days of the year . Which means you wasted 25% of the year , so use that time instead investing on yourself , something beneficial ( like spending your limited time on this earth with closed ones , or doing something meaningful like building skills so you won't regret it in the future ) 5. Prioritise yourself: You don't want to spend your whole life being the audience of someone else ! Go & live your own life ! You want to create your own memories , your own life & your own skills . Think about even getting a flip phone ( she has a nokia flip phone ) so now no one has access to you & neither do you to anybody 6. Create balance between consuming & creating: you are not here to just watch others ! Turn your energy inwards , create something!!! ( paint , create music , write poetry , write a book ) turn your pain into art

Just before my exam when I'm procrastinating and surfing through yt shorts. THANK YOU MOTHER.

Turned my phone to black and white immediately after she said to- I literally feel the difference, I’ve seen adverts while finishing her videos and emojis now and my brain almost feels a little more relaxed , lots of gratitude for this Chanel 🙏

I am so grateful of you honestly. May you live a wonderful life and meet the wonderful people!

social media is hell and its so hard to escape. i deleted all of my socials last year except KZread bc thats the only source of entertainment that i thought I'd be having. i thought i wouldn't spend much time here as compared to all those short-form content apps but i was WRONG.i switched to long-form content like true crime documentries or just a podcast and started getting addicted to those. i was in total denial at first but i finally realised that now i was addicted to KZread. thats why i started putting my phone away like in some cupboard for most of the time of my day.

You're absolutely right. The phone is destroying my life in general.

I gasped to realise how true it is when she said "if something's free you are the product"

immediately did what you said to do, and now I am going use this time to actually do something worth MY time. will not let a glowing rectangle waste my precious time 💀

'you're so powerful!❤ If you think you're not! You're not!'

thank you so much for creating this video. i’m in high school and there are no limits to phone usage (even during tests) and everyone thinks i’m strange for not really using my phone or keeping headphones on 24/7. it’s refreshing to remember that there are people out there with the same values and priorities as me, especially because i spend so much time in a draining environment. sending love to you xx

Wait , she literally changed my mindset now

Am using my phone 8 hours a day and it's definetly not ok because am a student am about to graduate high school my final exam is coming in 3 months i have always dreamt of being the top student in my whole country because the government grades our exams and it's doesn't seem like am going to be anywhere near top student out of thousands of students all over the countrty. My laziness and phone addiction has gotta stop Thanks for the advice it knocked me back into my senses❤

thank you so so much Alessia I really needed this at the moment

These last few days I was thinking about this topic and today you put out a video about it! Thank u❤️

thankkkk u alessia, i need this as a student!

Thank you for creating this you gave a lot of great advice💖

this was VERY helpful. specially the part where u talked about trying to escape from an emotion, that was something that i NEEDED to hear. TYSM for this amazing video. new follower right here :)

Thank you so much for this, definitely a reality check I needed. I'm ready to stop self sabotaging and finally be happy with myself. You're doing wonders for the world ❤️

I really needed this as I've lately discovered that how im an overachiever w a completely fucked up nervous system and unable to do anything unless its an emergency. Ive those procrastination tendencies, along w anxiety, and a reliance on emergencies to kickstart action as it is attributed to factors like pressure of impending deadlines triggering productivity as well as a fear of failure that intensifies when faced w urgency. And all this creates a pattern where i delay all my tasks until the last minute which leads to a cycle of stress and relief and all this is because of the damn phone amd a screentime of over 8 hrs and all the potential is basically just going wasted. You don't wanna regret later, start changing now. Bitter fact but the world doesn't wait for anybody so we gotta keep moving and I'm trying really hard to change! Thank you for this reminder ily

Thank you for changing the direction of my existence towards something better. You're allowing me to bloom in so many ways that I don't know what I was doing before. I thought that no one ever care. I thought that I knew exactly that I will never be loved and that the flow of my current life i deserved the worst. But you came along, and it all becoming crystal clear. I realised then that I could become a better version of myself. I started to see both my imperfections and perfections and understand what it means to let growth in, what it means to let experiences impart useful knowledge, and what it means to let love in. I started valuing myself and becoming determined in ways you've taught.. Im becoming more whole by myself than I've ever been before..I love you so much ❤

Thank u queen!I REALLY NEEDED THIS😩btw i never get tired of watching u!you’re so goddamn gorgeous!!!my eyes been blessed and also my mind for listening to your worthy words! ♥️♥️♥️

You posted this just when I needed this reality check about my phone addiction. I've been scrolling thru this device on multiple apps every single day, including today and right now. But seeing this I have promised myself to get rid of my phone addiction. Thank you so much queen 👑.

thank you for this Alessia ❤ Divine timing honestly, I'm struggling with an extensive phone use for a long time and it has a big impact but now thankfully I know what to do and I'm aware of it

I dont have much to do off... I dont like to watch to others ppls life, but i like learning a lot, on diff religions, spirituality & such, that ofc ig lots of infos many of which i dont need & anws i keep forgeting stuff... thank you, i needed these... be blessed

Mother has gifted us on this blessed day with her wise words again

the MOST realistic video I've every watched on overcoming phone addiction. persephone you really are the best i love your videos💕

Alessia, you are a real helper. whenever I'm feeling down, I always watch your videos. you are Incredible. ❤

Bro I was scrolling and I couldn't stop myself and just got the notif. The timing is crazy 😭

wow.... i cant explain how much i needed to hear this! thanks admin i will always love you for being able to put my mind at clear vantage. THANKS!

Thank you so much I literally needed this like I have exams coming next week and I was so additicted to the phone I was like blind folded.Thanks soo much once again ❤😊.

This is actually something I experienced, and yet Alessia came in the right time, I feel awake and realize a lot after watching this. So thank you, Alessia ❤❤❤

I realized how bad my addiction was [because of my declining mental health] because my Instagram use age was 7 hours a day [my country does not have TikTok. It is banned]. Since, last year I resolved to reduce my Instagram use age because that is the only social media app, I use the most. I am proud to say i have reduced it to 1 hour on the daily average by turning off the notifications reducing and refreshing my following to accounts that only give me knowledge and this video is only helping me reduce it more! So, this is like a reminder to me to keep going. Thank you so much!

I was just thinking my phone was a problem because I realized I can’t seem to look away when I’m scrolling online. I feel hipnotice and it’s crazy. I will really use all your tips because you’re sincere and you help me see what is the problem, how is it caused and what can I do. Love your content ❤

This is a VERY good video. Thank you for saying this! You're right using your phone (or laptop) for too long is bad for you for a lot of different reasons.

You’re just so pretty nd thank u sm for those videos, rlly appreciate it🖤

Alessia you possibly couldn't! I have been struggling with constantly being on my phone since last 2 weeks! You really are the answer universe is sending me. Thank you sincerely for this

Thank you, Alessia ❤ I love the last phrase "Earlier the internet was an escape from the real life, now the real life is an escape from the internet...". This is so true, I can relate

omg, this video came at the perfect time for me! it's the motivation I needed, thank you

Thank you so much, very usefull video. Once ive stopped smoking after 8 years so i hope once i can get over phone addiction. Also youre makeup is really beautiful

The last two minutes are perfect ty mother 🙏😭💋

Perfect timing!! I am on my social media detox it has been 5 days but my current plan is keep detoxing till 21th day.

I needed this omgggg

one of the best video, thank u !

I love this video!! You're amazing at explaining it. I would like to also add that when you decide to get off your phone, be careful of the other hobbies you pick up! Don't watch Netflix or TV anymore than you already do. For the first few weeks, your brain will want to replace that dopamine hit with something else. And yes, try to limit your KZread consumption. Getting off the phone is a process, but so is retraining your brain after you're off. You guys got this!! It'll be easier after a few weeks. :)

the queen has posted!!

hey there Alessia, I haven't started watching the video yet but I just want to thank you for everything. You made me learn so much. I hope all the kindness and nice things in this world find you. Lastly, I am sorry if I said anything incorrectly, English is not something I am best at. 💗

OMG queen, u definitely read my mind! The last night I went through a bad sleeping time, and all because I spent time on my phone over 2 hours after my sleeping time, and this made me feel so bad about myself and my health :((( thanks for the infos sz

i loveee that you mentioned to mute notifications, i only didn’t mute them for my parents because im still young and everything could happen

You're amazing! Thank you for this video!!!
