It’s Okay to Not Love Phone Calls

Taking Breaks from Your Phone Helps
Our phones are like a part of us, which can be overwhelming. Dr. Dan Bober reminds us to take a step back sometimes. Try turning off notifications or leaving your phone in another room for a bit. It’s about making sure you’re in charge, not your phone.
