In the modern world, people cannot do without gadgets. They make life much easier: they allow you to communicate with people without leaving home, and receive information in a short time.

However, if used incorrectly, they can cause addiction, which in turn can worsen a person's well-being.

Elena Gutyro, an expert on astrology, esotericism and psychology from the website "TUT NOVOSTI", will tell you how to get rid of the addiction.

Goal setting

To set a goal, it is important to find motivation for yourself. For example, you can promise yourself that if you reduce the number of hours on your phone, you will reward yourself with a delicious meal at the end of the day.

You can set yourself a goal to spend no more than three hours on your phone.
