Apparently I'm Addicted - a poem

I wrote a poem this morning about my addiction to my phone. But it goes much deeper than that! First, the poem:

Checking my phone

an urge.

Do I seek validation?

A feeling?

Why is there such a strong draw,

to check my phone?

An addiction.

Just to see.

Just once.

I’ll check then put it right back down.

My heart begins to race,

I really want to grab my phone.

I’m definitely missing something.

I might be missing something.

How will I know?

How can I let it go?

That urge,

to check my phone.

Do you relate?

It’s something I’ve become hyperaware of recently. Not just the time I spend on my phone, but rather how it feels to want to reach over and tap the screen, just to see…

There it is again! My phone’s sitting next to my computer as I type this and my right hand so badly wants to reach over and see what time it is. Which is funny because I can simply glance up to the top right corner of my screen right now as I type this and tell you it’s 9:57.

The mind is such a fascinating place! Add onto it the physical sensations and chemical pull to move towards what the brain is thinking and oh man! I could go on for hours.

Maybe it’s an addiction, or perhaps it’s simply a pattern? Perhaps I’ve simply run the program for so long (to check my phone) that it’s deeply ingrained into my subconscious mind. Isn’t that the root of all addiction to varying chemical degrees?

Just some food for thought on your beautiful Sunday morning.

All transformation starts with a good dose of self-examination.

Which is a key part of The Atlantis Method™ - self-examination, that is. When you join my 8week or 6 month program one of the first things we'll do is radical self-examination. It's not glamorous work, but it's essential to target your specific patterns that are in need of an upgrade!

Are you ready to dive in? Let's hop on a connection call and see if this will be a good fit for you!

See ya next time!
