Make Your Addiction You and Your Wellness..

                   Back in the day the word addiction was reserved for drugs or alcohol or people in dependent relationships. Now it’s a different story - we’re at a unique time in life where a large number of millennials are addicted to their devices/social media. This means that we’re embedded with addictive patterns and personalities by default, but there’s nothing to say you can’t use this type of personality for good… If we use these addictive tendencies and turn them on working on ourselves the results could be amazing..

 

 

·         Treat yourself how you would your mum or your best friend. Simply put – want the best for yourself and treat yourself with love, respect and kindness

·         Carve out specific time for yourself to just read or swim or do whatever relaxes you or helps you switch off

·         Realise what you deserve from life and plan how to get it

·         Take your own advice – you wouldn’t tell a friend to stay in a job she hated for example, you wouldn’t think she deserved that, so why do you?

·         Use your commute to your advantage – I wish I’d done this when I had a long commute – but try and read a book or listen to some of your favourite music and zone out.

·         Make your addiction to your phone work for you and support you in organisation or with some mindfulness apps

·         Your diet/exercise matters - again it’s much easier to want a friend to feel great about themselves and I control of what they eat and when they work out – it took me years to want this for myself as well..

Remember – you are worth your own love and time even if it doesn’t always feel that way…
