I can't find myself anymore because of phone

I have just me and myself before the coming of phones. Especially this era of android phones. Hmmm! Is like I have lost that person that I use to be. This is just the gospel truth because I don't understand what is happening to me.

This image belongs to me.

Week 234 and the last episode ask a simple question that I can't just give a simple answer. Some questions are very very simple but complicated too. Guys can I actually stay for like a whole hour without touching my phone? Hahaha 😂 is actually funny how I am asking this question because I know that before now I use to be disciplined. I always talk to my kids back then to make sure that phone don't not take their hearts and make them very on serious in their studies especially. But I can't boast of saying the same thing now. I am now the victim as old as I am. And because of that I can't even tell my children to look away from their phones.

HOW LONG CAN I LAST WITHOUT A PHONE?

One thing I like about this platform is that you can say the truth as it is and not be ashamed or afraid of anyone. So I don't see the need of painting the answer for any reason. I hardly stay away from my phone for just an hour. One hour only. I always look for reasons to check my phone even on the road, in the church, in the market when I hear a ringing tone that sounds like mine.

WHILE EATING FOOD WITH THE FAMILY

This is the most annoying part of this issue. I realized that even when I am eating I don't take away my phone from my side. Sometime I even enjoy watching movies while eating and I see this as a very bad habit before but now I have begin to do the exact same thing I advised against. At first I thought that it won't last but today I can't say the same thing again. I believe that I can do better and that is why I believe that most of the topic given in the #hive learners community is to help us come out of a bad habit and situation. And for me it has really helped me a lot. Ever since I started making post in this community I have experience great growth in my life. And just like the others today's topic is also talking to me and I am grateful for that. I see this as a point of turn around for me and it has come to stay because I am seeing it now that my phone needs to give me space once in a while. I need to concentrate and eat food without any distraction from my phone. During prayers and bible reading I also need to keep my phone away for that moment. But my major problem now is that most times I read y Bible through the phone I easily get carried away when notification starts dropping.

I pray for a great change in me and everyone affected.
