A potentially very powerful method to stop phone addiction. Greyscale

[ChrisZoZo]

Not sure if this form has been introduced to this concept before. 
 

Simply put your phone in greyscale mode. Making it an unappetising to stay on your phone.  That easy.

How about simply not telling yourself you have a phone addiction and that you are phone addict and maybe it will outgrow itself. It's the identity of being a phone addict, that's keeping you being a phone addict. That part of you doesn't want to die and is a living entity. You are battling with a living entity, not with the dead phone. Now, you want to suffocate the entity and trying to trick it by creating another entity which will energize itself and become a "I have outsourced my phone addiction and transferred my addiction cause into something else". Now a new entity is formed.

Face the phone addiction and give it some love. Tell it it has to go and is not welcome. Each time you're on the phone observe yourself and tell yourself it's ok, but you have to go. Keep doing that and see your phone addiction subside. Show it some love, don't suffocate it. The reason you're addicted to your phone will manifest itself into another addiction. Stop telling yourself you're addicted to your phone, even if you are and see it as an obsession you have to quit. That's not an identity. Seeing something you have to quit doing is not an identity. Telling yourself you're a phone addict is. Identities are living entities and nothing wants to die.

I use grey scale and eye comfort mode one and a half hours before bed to avoid blue light so it doesn't supress my melatonin production at late evening when the sun goes down. But I use that time to read books or listen to actualized.org videos.

Forgot about that. I stopped it all the time because I feel it sort of messes with me as I am use to colour to much on my phone. Looked this up if other people get messed with and can’t find anything to I think it’s just placebo on my self.

Research as much as possible. There is phone addiction, and then there is potential harm of LED light to the circadiam rythm. Two different things.
