So for the past seven days I’m trying something new: after I wake up I avoid going on my phone for at least 30 minutes. So instead of using my socials and news to wake up, I get up and go for a nice long walk.

This way I try to avoid a cortisol spike early in the day. And it works! Where normally I would self soothe by doomscrolling (essentially), I found out yesterday this has cut my daily screentime by 40%!
