Do you always have an urge to check your phone even though you are running late, working on an important task, or spending time with your loved ones? You know that you don’t necessarily need to check your phone that often but it just becomes very natural to check the phone every 2 minutes. These impulsive and automatical acts may indicate that you are addicted to your mobile device which may be affecting your quality of life. It’s our pleasure to be invited to host the mobile addiction seminar in Hong Kong given the great success running the same event in Macau back in February. The event was kicked off by an insightful talk from our counselling psychologist Edward L. who discussed the problems evolved from mobile addiction and how that may disrupt the mental hygiene of society. This is worth our concern due to its impact on our brain, motivation, and behaviours. And then, we are able to reduce our unnecessary reliance on mobile devices by being aware of the phone time, practicing mindfulness and yoga to improve our focus and self-control, engaging in activities which can balance our dopamine and endorphin level etc., ultimately leading to better control over the use of mobile phones. Besides, we have started to launch a series of mobile addiction events to schools and other institutions in Hong Kong. Stay tuned and feel free to contact us if you want to introduce better practice and develop healthier relationship with mobile devices in your organization and school! #MobileAddiction #Mindfulness #DigitalWellbeing #Yoga #Meditation #TechLifeBalance
