“Samantha Rodriguez, a 29-year-old in Meridian, Idaho, found that her eagerness for TikTok at times put her in danger.

“I would scroll TikTok while taking my dogs on a walk, and there were times I’d walk into a mailbox or a tree,” says Rodriguez, who works at an estate-planning firm.

She also had a habit of scrolling late into the night, which affected her work performance the next day. Her TikTok use became a source of strain with her husband, too. Rodriguez says he often took her phone out of her hand while she was scrolling in bed.

She deleted the app six months ago. “Cutting the cord was difficult but worth it,” she says, adding that she now wakes up feeling refreshed and is more productive at work.

Alissa Chapman’s “Aha!” moment came after she had taken a weeklong, postpandemic TikTok break. When she opened the app again, she found 400 direct messages from friends who were sharing TikToks. “I was, like, ‘We’re all kind of sick,’ ” the 26-year-old remembers thinking.

Chapman, who consults for a law firm in Atlanta and writes, dances and acts on the side, says she spent hours watching videos of other people doing creative things but realized she was never doing any of them herself.

“I felt like I was living through those people,” she says. She stopped scrolling TikTok. Now, she only opens the app to search for something specific.

Elizabeth Tate, 25, quit TikTok cold turkey in mid-2022. Giving up TikTok made Tate, who works for a consulting firm in Washington, D.C., realize she could give up other social-media apps, too, so she quit Instagram and Facebook in October.

“I realized I have a very finite amount of time on this planet, and there is so much I want to experience and accomplish and do,” Tate says. “I was wasting so much time distracting myself.”

Bad New, Good News... hyper-cartoons, learning app

Bad New, Good News... hyper-cartoons, learning apps, gaming, and early exposure to screens before age 8 have caused BIG mental health, ADHD, OCD and other developmental challenges for many kids who are now struggling to feel their best as pre-teens and teens!!

The good news is, a vast majorty of these challenges can be greatly improved or even resolved with a Strategic Screen Detox, preventing a lifetime of digital addiction struggles from well-intentioned early screen exposure.

If you are like many parents who followed CDC guidelines of "1 OR 2 hours per day of screen time after age 2" ('cause that's 100% more variance between the two and a ton of time accumulated on an ongoing basis when used DAILY) thinking this was do-no-harm-best- advice...think again. It's time to hit the reset button and save your kids from overstimulation that has built up over the years, most likely reaching it's peak during the pandemic.

Tune into this new podast featuring our founder and Screen-Detox-Queen Nicole Rawson, for a frank conversation about the benefits of digital detoxing for families @listentothiswayup and how you can see BIG improvements in your kid (or kids!) with a guided detox when other intervention attempts to improve their quality of life have failed. Be the superhero parent you want to be, we can help! Tune in now for a big dose of reality... and REAL solutions!

Ready to start your fail-proof guided detox journey with us? Visit our website and book a free consultation to see if you child would benefit. We are the only company to offer a 100% customized, in-home, done-for-you support making it easy for kids to rebond with parents while they recover from the comfort of their own home without expensive residential treatments!

Our new program takes a guilt-free approach because you probably didn’t even know screen time really causes ADHD and lots of other problems!

Parents it up to YOU to protect your kids from a lifetime of health issues arising from digital media use. Do this easily by enrolling NOW for the 2023 Digital Wellness Summit hosted by @wp3sports 👏🏼 The tech industry is evolving faster than any protections for children can be implemented-- new studies show that it's absolutely essential for parents to be knowledgable about the harms of digital media since there are NO design protections in the USA, even in-app parental controls that are akin to filtered cigarettes-- ineffective from protecting youth from real harms with no recourse.

✨Feel less anxious, depressed, lonely, or insecure due to online activities
✨Identify using screens as a coping mechanism for stress, boredom, or social discomfort

Admittedly, we don’t devote a lot of resources to social media… algos are known to suppress tech-reduction content and we don’t want to impact anyone’s mental health posting or monitoring constantly. Our ads were met with dick picks and harmful comments that Meta never addressed or removed. So we now refuse to spend on ads too. So spread the word organically about our amazing group of educators and intervention detox coaches!

Just because we are not posting a lot doesn’t mean we are not busy busy busy in the communities we serve all around the world! 🤩

Swipe right to see some of the great organizations we have provided presentations for over the past few years either as donations or hired to hear our educators speak on what it means for all ages to be “digitally well” in this era of constant distractions and online addictions.

Are you a slave to your phone or in control of you

Are you a slave to your phone or in control of your time?🧐 How is your text etiquette? Are you a bozo group texter wasting everyones time with memes they can find online and gossip best left unsaid? 🤡 Or do you stay on group chats, overwhelmed by the constant chatter because you don't want to be rude and leave or afraid you might miss out? Well, it's time to POWER UP your POWER when it comes to phones.

Check out these tips to help:
✨Protect your MENTAL HEALTH from tech overwhelm, unnecessary content
✨Save your FOCUS STAMINA eroded by notifications and over-use
✨Strengthen REAL RELATIONSHIPS with personal messages, selective sharing
✨Set a great example for friends, peers, and children setting phones aside to singularity focus on in-person activities for their benefit AND yours!

As simple as these sound, digital behavioral addictions are very serious and take away valuable time from doing more important activities that fulfill the human heart and sooth our brains, rather than overstimulate. The constant pull of your phone is one of the most pervasive designs built into apps that keep us attached even when we shouldn't be. Knowing better has BIG benefits, we talk about the psychology of these in our corporate presentations and inform parents and youth of the risks when opting for smart phones.

Being in control of your devices rather than them controlling you makes us feel better, work better, and connect with others authentically.

What tips would you add to the ones listed in the photos?

Who's ready for more support when it comes to leading our families through the digital age?! 🖐

Authentic, caring human connections are the founda

Authentic, caring human connections are the foundation of our happiness. But every second we turn to our phones, we block these shared connections with others aside us, or lose opportunities to be engaging with others, in real life, away from us. Real life shared moments matter and there’s plenty of research that shows that our casual constant use of cellphones can cause lasting harm to our most important relationships with children and romantic partners, greatly impacting overall relationship satisfaction.

Most of these articles and studies refer to what’s known as “Phubbing”, which is when one partner ‘snubs' their spouse in favor of looking at their cellphone or parents paying attention to phones in clear sight of children, showing their preference for devices over humans.

Not only can ‘phubbing’ your partner (or other loved ones) harm the way they view the quality of your relationship, it can also lead to a decrease in their life satisfaction and harm to their overall mental health. This isn’t something that we should take lightly.

Instead of defensively explaining away our distraction as harmless or minimizing our behavior as the new normal, let's seek to accept that there are times when we pick up our phones when we really shouldn’t, and that our partner’s needs for connection and attention are just as important as our own.

The work emails really can wait, text messages don't need to be responded to right away, and setting devices aside for prolonged time gives everyone a break from the constant distractions that don't seem like a big deal... but are! Every been phubbed? Guilty of multitasking and phubbing others? DM us to find out how digital wellness coaching can get you back on the right track without constant frustrations.

Join Us May 8th on Monday evening for a Digital Detox Q&A hosted by STC educator and @resetsummer camp director Michael Jacobus.

Reset Summer Camp, team Santa Barbara is hosting a live conversation to answer your questions about teens and technology addiction.

What’s the first thing your child does when you’re at an in-person event? If they pull out their phone instead of interacting with other kids, their social and life skills may need attention.

We all want our teens to gain self-mastery and confidence. For many of our kids, that comes from life experience, but some kids can be held back by an outside force and fail to thrive. Does your child need a reset? We have a camp for that!

At Reset Summer Camp, your child will be a part of a close community where they will unplug and interact with campers facing similar challenges, all working toward the same goals.

Reset Summer Camp will be held in Santa Barbara from July 2 - July 30, 2023
And in Montreal, Canada, from July 9 - Aug 6, 2023
