Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 178 of The Mindful Kind podcast, which is all about using your phone in a positive way!

Here are my top tips:

Be aware of your feelings as you use your phone and if you notice yourself experiencing negativity, remember that it's okay to take a step back and look after yourself.
Put your phone down to enjoy face-to-face interactions.
Delete the apps from your phone that don't add value to your life and find new ones that do add value!
Connect with people and share kindness and compassion through your phone use.

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

1:12.5	can use our phones in positive ways. I'd like to thank Ross for inspiring this episode and for
1:18.9	everyone who voted for me to cover this topic on Instagram last week. I'd also like to say thank

1:37.7	an overwhelming reminder of all the things that she is missing out on.

1:44.8	highlights the potential positive side and the negative side of our phones. They give us
