Do you need to stay connected all the time? Can't live without your Facebook or twitter? Or even can't live without your email or other forms of network?
If you have this happening to you, it means you are a CONNECTOHOLICS.
Studies are suggesting that getting online can be addictive. You will tend to look for your smartphone very often and chances are that you can't live without looking at your phone for even 5 minutes.
Studies are also suggesting that if you are a connectoholic, you tend to be stressful. The more you stay connected, the more stress you can become. The link is still unclear.
Here are 3 ways to disengage yourself from being a connectoholic:
1. Don't check your phone first thing when you get up in the morning. Do something else more useful like drinking plain water or a hot cup of coffee.
2. Meal time is phone-free time. When it's time to eat, just eat and enjoy your meal. Use that time for real conversation.
3. Take a conscious break. Like work or exercise, you need to take a break. Similarly by staying connected you need to take a break too.
Get Moving!
