Hey everyone, my name is Rosie and I'm one of the new hosts of Radio Headspace.

I'm an author and a yoga meditation teacher and my new episodes are debuting February of next year.

I can't wait to share them with you.

In the meantime, I'd like to let you know about a new show from Headspace Studios called Dear Headspace.

It's a call and advice show where Headspace teachers answer questions each week about anything and everything.

We talk about family, relationships, mindfulness and so much more.

You can find your Headspace on the Headspace app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Welcome back to Radio Headspace and the third day of the phone break up challenge.

I'm Katherine Price, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone and I am thrilled that you are here.

Today we want to make our phones as boring as possible.

Your guiding principle is to transform your phone from a temptation that you are trying to resist into a tool that helps you get things done.

Start by saying no to notifications.

I personally only allow notifications for phone calls, text messages, my calendar and navigation apps.

Next, I want you to identify your own personal slot machine apps. The apps you feel compulsively drawn to, even though you know that they don't make you feel good.

I then want you to delete them for the rest of the week.

Yes, you heard me right.

An app that consistently stresses you out and wastes your time does not deserve to be on your phone.

Now I know you are freaking out right now so let me provide some reassurances. First, this is an experiment.

You can always reinstall the apps. I am just challenging you to give it a try.

Second, just because you deleted an app from your phone doesn't mean you can't use it. Just do so from the browser or ideally an actual computer.

And third, if there is a moment between now and the end of our week together, when you truly want or need to use one of your slot machine apps, you have my permission to try what I call and on again, off again, relationship.
