Turn Off Your Phone Notifications

By John Graham

People who react, lose. They are led by other influences.
People who lead themselves, win.

Bzzz! Bzzzz!

Serious question:
Do you let your phone tell you when to check it or what to do?

Are you sure?

I think your phone notifications are turning you into Pavlov’s dog. You know, the dog was conditioned to drool every time it heard a bell.

Here’s the thing I realized:

  • If you pick up your phone when it vibrates or rings, you are REACTING. Your apps are literally dictating what you do. This is not good.
  • If you turn off notifications and CHOOSE when to pick up your phone, you are LEADING yourself. You CONTROL your decisions.

Simple solution: Turn OFF all notifications for all apps.

Let this be a theme in your life too.
Don’t allow yourself to always REACT to things…be in CONTROL of your life and CHOOSE what you do, when you do it, how you do it… 

Take pride in your decisions (even when you make a mistakes or are wrong).

This is a conscious choice you can make to shape the life YOU want for yourself. 

Are you reacting to things or are you leading yourself?
