This will make you want to reduce your screen time!

What if I told you that the reason you could be struggling with your workouts, following your meal plan, or sticking with some of your new healthy habits …

Is your phone?

Hear me out…

When we scroll on our phones, our brains release dopamine — a.k.a. the same “feel-good” chemical we get when we eat our favorite foods or get a hug.

Sounds harmless, right? 

Unfortunately, research is finding that those quick dopamine hits from our phones can create a cycle of instant gratification similar to substance abuse! 

When that happens, our brains start to prefer those quick, satisfying dopamine hits over any sort of delayed gratification…

And as you can imagine, that can make it harder to do things you don’t want to do — like go to the gym when you’d rather sit and scroll. 

My suggestion? 

The next time you catch yourself grabbing your phone just to scroll, count to five. 

If you still feel the urge, do something active for just five minutes instead. 

Take a short walk, stretch, or even just step outside for a breath of fresh air. 

This small break can help reset your brain and give you a burst of energy and focus!

Committed to your success, 

Kim and the Fab Fit Team
