Does your hand automatically reach for your phone the moment boredom hits? Are notifications constantly hijacking your productivity and peace? You're not alone and you're not stuck.
In this episode, you'll discover the science behind why digital habits form, how your brain builds these automatic behaviours, and most importantly how you can change them with simple, powerful 5-minute habit shifts.
Drawing on neuroscience, biblical truths, and proven habit-change principles from leading experts like Dr. Gina Cleo, James Clear (Atomic Habits), and Dr. Caroline Leaf, we'll unpack exactly why breaking digital habits feels hard, and how small, consistent actions can rewire your brain for lasting change.
You'll learn two practical habit shifts that you can implement immediately. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you'll gain a fresh understanding of cues, routines, and rewards to interrupt unhealthy digital habit loops and create new, empowering ones.
By the end of this episode, you'll move from feeling controlled by your phone to feeling empowered, and ready to reclaim your focus one small step at a time.
