I loved spending my free time drawing and painting. I would lose myself for hours in the world of my own creation. The sense of satisfaction was immense.

But, these days, my creative side is all but gone.

Instead of picking up a paintbrush or pencil, I find myself mindlessly scrolling through social media on my smartphone.

And I know I’m not the only one.

It’s no secret that our smartphones can be detrimental to our mental and physical health.

The constant notifications and news updates can cause anxiety, while the blue light emitted from screens can disrupt our sleep patterns.

It took me a while to realize that I needed to break this cycle of addiction.

But once I did, I found that there were many other activities that could provide a sense of fulfillment and improve my well-being.

“Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.”
