Summary
Phones are wonderful, aren't they? What used to be about making calls is now much more about having the internet, and therefore the entire world, within arms reach. I love my phone, but possibly a little too much. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm addicted and with research and statistics showing that this sort of addiction can affect your physical and mental health, it's time to put some limits in place so I don't fall foul of the luxury of having everything at my fingertips.
It was Sali Hughes feature on The Pool - Smartphone Addiction made me anxious, restless and muddled - that left me with no doubt I had an issue with how much I was using my phone, whether that was to actually do something or just to while away the time.
So, for my seventh #26habits I'm going to be putting limits on when I use my phone, will be changing a little-known setting to make it much less desirable, turning off a very specific function (clue: it's the one apps and sites always ask you turn on) and putting some physical distance between me and my device.

| 0:00.0 | This episode of the podcast is brought to you in partnership with Sensodyne. |
| 0:04.4 | You may have heard in the podcast last week that I took part in a chill test with dentist Anita Sandu. |
| 0:10.6 | This is her area of expertise and she guided me through drinking ice cold water, |
| 0:15.0 | eating a slice of fresh apple and taking a bite out of a trock ice, |
| 0:20.0 | all with the purpose of learning about my teeth sensitivity. Now I knew I had some sensitivity but it was really helpful |
| 0:26.1 | learning from Anita the reasons why, the foods that can cause that sharp feeling of sensitivity, |
| 0:31.1 | and the changes I can make to minimize any discomfort moving forward. |
| 0:35.0 | Since the chill test I've been using Senser Dine Repair and Protect Toothpaste, |
| 0:39.0 | it's clinically proven to provide long lasting protection for sensitive teeth with twice daily brushing, |
| 0:44.2 | and is expertly formulated to generate a protective layer over exposed areas of your teeth |
| 0:48.8 | to help protect you from the pain of sensitive teeth. |

| 1:09.7 | Wardner and I can't quite believe it it's time for habit number seven and at this point I really do have to say |
| 1:16.9 | that I'm not ready for habit six of 26 habits which has been intimate and fasting to end. The two weeks of eating |
| 1:25.8 | between 12 noon and 8 p.m. and fasting between 8 p.m. and 12 noon have honestly flown by. |
| 1:32.4 | It's been surprisingly easy, which is why I'm going to carry |
| 1:37.4 | on doing it. Now in the update show last week, I told you the three positive changes I've noticed in just one week and two weeks in I can tell you that nothing has changed. |
| 1:46.8 | I am still feeling really good about changing this pattern of eating. |
| 1:52.1 | In fact a few days ago I was on a photo shoot and |
| 1:54.8 | unusually for me I was in front of the camera. Now shoots I've been on many over the |
| 2:00.4 | years always directing or in the background not actually in front of the camera, |
