Two emails about happiness and I haven’t talked about strategy. Shall I dig in? This is how I’m working on my happy. Or at least, trying to. I asked my buddies on social media how they work on their happy, and I got a whole range of answers, ranging from wine and exercise to not sweating the small stuff and disconnecting from technology. Appreciating what you have was a big one. Here are some of the ways I’m looking after my own well-being so that my happiness will flower, moment by moment. Stopping the tech chatter Sometimes my brain feels like an outboard motor running at top speed. I get up, and I’m reaching for my phone to check my to-do list. Are there any new emails? Social media updates? Any crisis that is going to blow my day out of the water? I’m a copywriter, not a doctor. There is never a crisis so important that I need to read about it before I’m even properly awake. So why is checking my phone the first thing I do every day? When I didn’t have a smartphone for a month, I loved it (eventually). I wasn’t notified every time there was a new email or update, and I survived. In fact, I felt much more relaxed. Once I got a new smartphone, I slowly backslid into Notificationland, and the outboard motor feeling was back. So as part of working on my happy, I turn off most notifications. I’m using the iPhone screen time tools to wean myself off checking my phone so often, but at least my phone and laptop aren’t vying for my attention every moment of the day. I know that the next step is to actually remove social and emails apps from my phone, but I’m not quite there yet. What about you? How do you manage the relentlessness and neediness of technology?
