Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to our podcast.
3
My name is Anna.
4
Today I have a very special topic for you.
5
It is something many people do every day.
6
Maybe you do it too.
7
We all do it.
8
We scroll on our phones.
9
We look at videos, photos, and posts.
10
We do it in the morning.
11
We do it at night.
12
We do it when we are bored.
13
But is it good for us?
14
Today, Mark and I want to talk about this.
15
We want to help you understand why it is a problem, and we want to give you some simple tips.
16
I am so happy you are here with us today.
17
Hi, everyone.
18
I'm Mark.
19
Thank you for listening to our podcast today.
20
I am very happy to be here with Anna.
21
This topic is very important.
22
I think every person with a phone knows this problem.
23
You pick up your phone for one minute, then suddenly 30 minutes are gone.
24
It happens to me too.
25
I'm not perfect, but I learned some things that really helped me.
26
Today, Anna and I will share what we know.
27
We will use simple English so everyone can understand.
28
So sit down, relax, and listen.
29
Let's talk about scrolling together.
30
So Mark, let's start with a simple question.
31
What is scrolling?
32
When we say scrolling, we mean moving your finger up and down on your phone screen.
33
You see photos, short videos and messages.
34
Apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are very popular for this.
35
You can scroll for a long time and not stop.
36
The app always shows you something new, something funny, something interesting.
37
And you keep watching.
38
You don't even think about it.
39
It just happens.
40
So Mark, how much do you think people scroll every day?
41
Do you have any idea?
42
That is a great question, Anna.
43
I read that many people scroll for three to four hours every day.
44
That is a lot of time.
45
Some people scroll even more.
46
Think about it.
47
Four hours every day is like a part-time job.
48
But we don't get paid for scrolling.
49
We just use our time.
50
And the apps want us to scroll more and more.
51
They are very smart.
52
They show us things we like, so we keep watching.
53
I think many people don't know how much time they use.
54
They think it is only a few minutes, but it is much more.
55
This is the first big problem.
56
Yes, you are so right.
57
And I want to talk about why scrolling feels so good.
58
When you see something funny or nice, your brain feels happy.
59
It gets a small reward.
60
This feels good, so you want more.
61
You scroll again and again.
62
It is a little bit like eating candy.
63
One candy is okay, but if you eat candy all day, it is not good for your body.
64
Scrolling is the same.
65
A little bit is okay, but too much is a problem.
66
The apps know this.
67
They want you to stay on your phone for a long time.
68
That is how they make money.
69
So they make scrolling feel very good.
70
Exactly, Anna.
71
And the problem is that we don't notice it.
72
You start watching one video, Then the next video starts automatically.
73
You don't choose it.
74
The app chooses for you.
75
Before you know it, you watched 20 videos.
76
This is called an algorithm.
77
It is a computer system.
78
It knows what you like.
79
It shows you more of the same things.
80
This keeps you watching.
81
It is very clever, but it is not always good for us.
82
We lose control of our time.
83
We stop doing other things, important things, like sleeping, eating, talking to friends, or doing work.
84
That is so true.
85
Let me tell you something that happened to me.
86
One night, I wanted to sleep, but I picked up my phone.
87
I said to myself, only five minutes.
88
But one hour later, I was still watching videos.
89
My eyes were tired, but I couldn't stop.
90
I think many people know this feeling.
91
It is very hard to put the phone down.
92
The next video always looks interesting.
93
You think, just one more.
94
But one more becomes ten more.
95
And then it is very late, and you are very tired the next morning.
96
This is one big problem with scrolling at night.
97
Yes, I did the same thing many times.
98
And the next day, I felt terrible.
99
I was tired at work.
100
I couldn't think clearly.
101
My head was heavy. And why?
102
Because of scrolling.
103
I didn't get enough sleep.
104
Sleep is very important for our health.
105
When we don't sleep well, everything is harder.
106
We feel bad.
107
We are not happy.
108
We can't do our best.
109
And the reason is something so simple.
110
We stayed on our phones too long.
111
It sounds easy to fix, right?
112
But it is not easy because we do it again and again.
113
It becomes a habit.
114
Yes, it becomes a habit, and habits are hard to change.
115
But what is a habit, exactly?
116
A habit is something you do automatically.
117
You don't think about it.
118
For example, you brush your teeth every morning.
119
You don't decide, I will brush my teeth today.
120
You just do it.
121
Scrolling becomes the same.
122
You pick up your phone automatically when you are waiting for the bus, when you are eating, even when you are talking with friends.
123
You just do it.
124
And then it is very hard to stop.
125
But the good news is, habits can change.
126
We can make new, better habits.
127
And that is what we want to talk about today.
128
That gives me hope, Anna.
129
So let's talk about it.
130
What can we do?
131
I think the first step is to know the problem.
132
You need to see how much you scroll.
133
Many phones have a tool for this.
134
It is called Screen Time.
135
You can find it in your phone settings.
136
It shows you how many hours you use your phone and what apps you use the most.
137
I was very surprised when I first looked at my Screen Time.
138
I thought I used my phone for one hour a day, but the number was four hours.
139
That was a big shock.
140
Have you ever checked your screen time, Anna?
141
Yes, and I was also surprised.
142
I think everyone should check their screen time first.
143
It is the first step.
144
When you see the number, you understand the problem better.
145
It is easy to say, I don't scroll too much, but the number shows the truth.
146
It is not about feeling, It is about facts.
147
And when you know the facts, you can start to change.
148
So step one is check your screen time.
149
Look at the numbers.
150
Be honest with yourself.
151
Don't feel bad about it.
152
Just know it.
153
Because you can't fix a problem you don't see.
154
This is very important advice for everyone.
155
Great advice.
156
So after you check your screen time, what is the next step?
157
I think step two is to set a limit.
158
Most phones let you set a time limit for each app.
159
For example, you can say, I want to use Instagram for only 30 minutes today.
160
When the time is over, the phone shows you a message.
161
It says, your time is up.
162
This is very helpful.
163
At first, you might ignore it.
164
That's okay, but slowly you start to notice.
165
You become more aware, and awareness is very powerful.
166
When you know you only have 30 minutes, you use the time better.
167
You don't just scroll without thinking.
168
I love that idea.
169
Setting limits is very helpful.
170
And I want to add something.
171
It is also good to have no phone times during the day.
172
For example, no phone at the dinner table, no phone in the bedroom, no phone in the first 30 minutes of the morning.
173
These are easy rules, but they make a big difference.
174
When you eat without your phone, you enjoy your food more.
175
You talk to your family more.
176
You feel more present.
177
And in the morning, if you don't look at your phone first, your day starts better.
178
You feel calmer.
179
You are not immediately full of news and videos.
180
It is a very nice feeling.
181
That is a wonderful idea, Anna.
182
I tried the no phone in the bedroom rule, and it really helped my sleep.
183
I started putting my phone in the living room at night.
184
At first, it was strange.
185
I felt a little nervous, like something was missing.
186
But after a few days, I slept much better.
187
I woke up feeling refreshed.
188
It was amazing.
189
The phone was the problem all along, and the fix was so simple.
190
Just move the phone to another room.
191
If you use your phone as an alarm clock, you can buy a small clock instead.
192
It's a small change, but the result is very good.
193
Yes, and I want to talk about another thing.
194
Why do we scroll so much?
195
Sometimes we scroll because we are bored.
196
We don't know what to do, so we pick up the phone.
197
It is the easiest thing to do.
198
But what if we had other things to do?
199
Fun things, like reading a book, drawing, cooking, going for a walk, or calling a friend.
200
These things are also fun, and they are better for us.
201
So one good tip is to find a hobby, something you enjoy, something that keeps your hands and mind busy.
202
When you have something fun to do, you don't need your phone as much.
203
That is so true.
204
I started reading books again, real books on paper, not on a screen and I love it.
205
When I read, I forget about my phone.
206
I enter a different world.
207
It's very relaxing.
208
Also, I started walking every evening, just 30 minutes.
209
I leave my phone at home or I put it in my pocket and don't look at it.
210
I walk, look at trees, breathe fresh air.
211
It feels wonderful.
212
And when I come home, I feel calm and happy.
213
I don't need to scroll because I already feel good.
214
So finding offline activities is a very important tip.
215
I agree completely.
216
And let's talk about social media specifically.
217
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook – these apps are designed to make you scroll.
218
They show you beautiful photos, funny videos, interesting stories.
219
It is very hard to stop.
220
But here is a tip.
221
You can unfollow accounts that you don't need.
222
If an account makes you feel bad about yourself, unfollow it.
223
If it shows you things that make you angry, unfollow it.
224
Keep only the accounts that make you happy or teach you something useful.
225
When your feed is better, you enjoy it more, and you spend less time trying to find good content.
226
That is excellent advice.
227
I did this too.
228
I unfollowed many accounts.
229
My feed became much smaller, but it became much better.
230
Now when I open Instagram, I only see things I really like.
231
So I spend less time looking for good content.
232
I find it quickly, and then I close the app.
233
Simple.
234
Also, I turned off notifications.
235
This was a big help.
236
Before, every few minutes my phone made a sound.
237
Ding!
238
A new like.
239
Ding!
240
A new comment.
241
Every time I heard the sound, I picked up the phone.
242
Now there is no sound, and I check the app only when I choose to, not because the phone called me.
243
Turning off notifications is such a good idea.
244
I did this too, and my phone is now much quieter.
245
I feel less stressed.
246
Before, I was always reacting to my phone.
247
The phone was in control.
248
Now I am in control.
249
I decide when to check my apps, not the other way around.
250
And it feels really good.
251
It is a small change, but it changes how you feel a lot.
252
You feel more free, more relaxed.
253
Like you are the boss of your phone, not the phone being the boss of you.
254
This is a very important mindset shift.
255
Your phone is a tool.
256
You control it.
257
It doesn't control you.
258
Yes, the phone is your tool, not your master.
259
I love that, Anna.
260
And I want to mention something about children, too.
261
Many parents give phones to their children at a young age.
262
Children also scroll a lot.
263
They watch videos for hours.
264
This is a big concern.
265
Children need to play outside.
266
They need to talk, run, read, and use their imagination.
267
Too much screen time is not good for their development.
268
So parents should set clear rules, like no phone before homework, no phone during meals, one hour of screen time per day.
269
These simple rules help children grow in a healthy way.
270
That is very important.
271
Children learn from what they see.
272
If parents are always on their phones, children think it is normal.
273
So parents need to be good examples.
274
Put the phone down when you are with your family.
275
Show your children that life is more than a screen.
276
Go outside together.
277
Play games.
278
Cook together.
279
Tell stories.
280
These moments are precious.
281
You can't get them back.
282
And your children will remember these moments forever.
283
Not the videos you watched, but the time you spent together.
284
Real time.
285
Real connection.
286
This is what makes life beautiful and meaningful.
287
DR. Beautifully said, Anna.
288
Real connection is so important.
289
And I think scrolling can sometimes make us feel lonely.
290
You look at other people's lives on social media, their holidays, their food, their perfect photos, and you think, my life is not as good.
291
But those photos are not always real.
292
People only show the best moments, not the bad days, not the hard times.
293
So you compare your real life with other people's best moments, and you feel sad.
294
This is called a comparison trap.
295
It is very common, and it is not good for our mental health.
296
We need to remember, social media is not real life.
297
That is so important to remember.
298
Social media shows a highlight reel, not the whole movie.
299
Nobody posts photos of their sad days, their arguments, their failures.
300
They post the best moments, with good lighting and nice filters.
301
So when you scroll and feel bad about your life, stop and think.
302
This is not a fair comparison.
303
Your life is real.
304
And real life is full of beautiful things too.
305
Simple things.
306
A cup of tea.
307
A sunny morning.
308
A laugh with a friend.
309
These things don't need a photo.
310
You just need to notice them.
311
down the phone and notice the real world around you.
312
Yes, be present. Be aware.
313
This is something I practice every day.
314
When I eat breakfast, I don't look at my phone.
315
I taste the food.
316
I look out the window.
317
I notice the morning light.
318
When I walk, I look at the sky, the trees, the people.
319
I don't watch videos.
320
I just experience the moment.
321
This is called mindfulness.
322
It means paying attention to what is happening right now.
323
It sounds simple, but in our busy world, it is actually quite hard.
324
We are always thinking about the past or the future, or we are looking at our phones.
325
Being present is a real skill, and it makes life much richer.
326
I love the word mindfulness.
327
It is a beautiful concept.
328
And you don't need an app to practice it.
329
You just need to slow down.
330
Take a breath.
331
Notice what is around you.
332
What can you see?
333
What can you hear?
334
What can you feel?
335
When you do this, you feel more calm and happy.
336
You don't need to scroll to feel good.
337
You already feel good, because life is already interesting.
338
There is so much to see and notice in the real world.
339
A bird singing, raindrops on a window, the smell of coffee.
340
These small things are wonderful, but we miss them when we scroll too much.
341
That is so poetic, Anna.
342
And practical, too.
343
Now, I want to talk about something we haven't mentioned yet.
344
Sleep and scrolling.
345
We touched on this earlier, but I want to say more.
346
The light from our phones is called blue light.
347
It is not good for sleep.
348
When you look at the screen at night, your brain thinks it is still daytime, so it doesn't produce the sleep hormone.
349
This hormone is called melatonin.
350
Without melatonin, you don't feel sleepy.
351
You lie in bed, but you can't sleep.
352
This is why many people feel tired all the time.
353
They sleep late because they scroll, and the phone light makes the problem worse.
354
Yes, I read about this too.
355
And the fix is simple.
356
Stop using your phone one hour before bed.
357
I know it sounds hard, but it really works.
358
Instead, you can read a book, listen to calm music, or just sit quietly.
359
Your body will start to relax.
360
Your brain will know it is time to sleep, and you will fall asleep faster, and sleep better, and wake up feeling refreshed.
361
When I started doing this, I felt like a different person.
362
More energy, better mood, better concentration.
363
All because I stopped scrolling before bed.
364
Sleep is so important, and our phones steal our sleep.
365
Phones steal our sleep.
366
I love that phrase, Anna, because it is so true.
367
And they steal other things, too.
368
They steal our attention, our creativity, our time with family, our peace of mind.
369
We give so much to our phones, and what do we get back?
370
Sometimes nothing.
371
Or sometimes we feel worse than before.
372
We feel anxious, tired, or sad.
373
That is not a good trade.
374
I'm not saying phones are bad.
375
Phones are wonderful tools.
376
But we need to use them wisely.
377
We need to be in control.
378
And that requires practice.
379
and effort and small steps every day.
380
Small steps every day.
381
I really believe in this.
382
You don't need to change everything at once.
383
That is too hard.
384
Start with one small thing.
385
Maybe tonight, put your phone in another room when you sleep.
386
Just one night.
387
See how it feels.
388
Or tomorrow morning, don't look at your phone for the first 30 minutes.
389
Just try it once.
390
See what happens.
391
Small steps lead to big changes over time.
392
And every time you choose real life over scrolling, you get a little stronger.
393
You build a new habit, a better habit.
394
And slowly, your relationship with your phone changes, for the better.
395
I completely agree.
396
And don't be too hard on yourself.
397
If you scroll a lot one day, it's okay.
398
Don't give up.
399
Just try again tomorrow.
400
Change is not a straight line.
401
There are good days and bad days.
402
What matters is that you keep trying.
403
You keep choosing to be more mindful, more present, more in control.
404
Every small choice counts.
405
And over time, those small choices add up.
406
You become someone who uses the phone, not someone the phone uses.
407
And that is a wonderful feeling.
408
I'm proud of every step I take.
409
And you should be proud too.
410
That is such a kind and encouraging message, Mark.
411
And I want to add, talk to people about this.
412
Tell your friends and family that you want to scroll less.
413
Ask them to support you.
414
Maybe you can even make a challenge together.
415
Like, this week, no phones at dinner.
416
Or, let's not check social media before 10 in the morning.
417
Doing things with other people is easier.
418
You encourage each other.
419
You hold each other accountable.
420
And it's more fun because you're doing it together.
421
So reach out to someone you trust and start this journey together.
422
You don't have to do it alone.
423
Great idea.
424
Community and support are very powerful.
425
And I think there's also an important question we should ask ourselves.
426
Why do I scroll?
427
What am I looking for?
428
Sometimes we scroll because we're lonely.
429
We want connection.
430
We want to feel part of something.
431
And social media gives us that, a little bit.
432
But real connection is better.
433
Call a friend, visit a neighbor, join a club or a class.
434
These things give you real, deep connection, not the shallow kind from scrolling.
435
When you feel truly connected to people around you, you need your phone less, because you're not lonely anymore.
436
That is so beautifully said.
437
Real connection versus virtual connection.
438
Both have value, but they are different.
439
Virtual connection is fast and easy, but it can feel empty sometimes.
440
Real connection takes more effort, but it is much more fulfilling.
441
When you hug a friend, when you have a long conversation over coffee, when you laugh together in person,
442
these moments fill your heart in a way that scrolling never can.
443
So invest in real relationships.
444
Make time for them.
445
They are the most important thing in life.
446
Not the number of likes on your post, but the real love and friendship in your life.
447
Absolutely.
448
And I want to say one more thing before we move toward the end.
449
Be kind to yourself.
450
We live in a world full of phones and screens.
451
It is very hard to avoid them.
452
Companies spend millions of dollars to make apps addictive.
453
They hire very smart people to keep you scrolling.
454
So if you struggle, it is not your fault.
455
You are fighting against a very powerful system.
456
But you are stronger.
457
Your mind is powerful.
458
Your choices are powerful.
459
And every time you put the phone down and choose real life, you win a little battle.
460
Be proud of those moments.
461
Celebrate small victories.
462
Yes, celebrate small victories.
463
I love that.
464
And also, enjoy life.
465
That is the whole point.
466
When you scroll less, you have more time.
