RE: Cutting down on my smartphone use
It is not only Sauls brother who gets sick from all those wireless machines...and actually, it is not only the wireless that bothers him or others.
We(even me) are surrounded by electricity (saw Iboy?).
Microwaves, ovens, routers, cellphones, computers, laptops, tv, radio, etc, etc.
I am not going to reduce my cellphone. Why not?
- I do not own a computer
- I do not own a laptop
- I do not own a radio except in my car and it is only used on long drives (1500 km or more).
- I do not watch tv
- I do not own a microwave
- I do not own a dishwasher
- I do not own a fridge.
The smartphone is more phone and palm-computer in one.
I seldom make a phone call (is twice a year).
I do not care about most social media, I leave my phone home unless I go for a drive so I can call in case of emergency (doctor, school, anwb).
I never answer my phone while driving.
I close it if I go to bed. My sound is always off. I check WhatsApp a few times a day (mainly my kids, sometimes I need it to contact a company). It works fine since years. No one misses me.
Wish you a great day and above all night rest.

I haven't seen Iboy but I've seen Thomas est Amoureux ( a French movie from almost twenty years ago that predicted a computer based world where people hardly leave their houses )
It's totally up to you what to do. Just do what makes you feel good, as much as possible. That's what life is all about :>)
Although there's many unhealthy things, I also believe it's usually our minds that make us sick. If we think something makes us sick it probably will. It's not always easy to change a believe that has been created over years or decades though.
P.S. I don't have a radio, microwave or dishwasher myself. My phone is off or on airplane mode when I sleep.
The interesting question is also: how come it is so easy to talk one/yourself sick but so hard to talk one/yourself better?

Good question. I think it should be as easy, it's just that if we talk about something postive ( for instance better health ) there's often still the belief that we won't get there, so we won't get better.
As long as we start focusing on more general themes, with less resistance ( for instance 'abundance' or feeling good' ), we might actually get there.
Also talking yourself sick takes loads of time. It's just that we usually spend years or decades on it, without necessarily being aware of it.
Um abraco!
Good point. I keep that in mind.
