You’re more likely to reach for the alcohol if it’s in your view. Same for sweets.
Likewise, you’re more likely to reach for vitamins if they’re in your view. Same with vegetables. (Curse the freezer.)
There are obvious actions you can take to stay hygienic.
There are actions you can take to stay healthy in the digital era, too.
- Remove social apps from your phone and only log on from a laptop.
- Keep your phone in the living room when you go to sleep, in your bedroom when you’re eating and off when you’re out with friends.
- Don’t read the comments on your content or the content of anyone you admire. Rather, don’t read the comments at all. The sincerest forms of communication won’t be found in the comments section.
- Look up when you’re walking in town, in the state park, into the door of your work and to your desk.
- Cut two things from every email you write. The anger and the length. No one makes the time to read every word and they’ll read it in the worse voice regardless of length.
- If you’re logging on, make sure you create something that someone will appreciate. Don’t simply sulk in all that others are doing.
Stay Positive & Wash Your Hands After, Too
