You’ll be calm
the day you learn to sit alone
and do nothing.

Breaking Free from Phone Obsession!
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s no secret that most of us are inseparable from our phones. But why is this? What makes these tiny devices so captivating?
The answer is simple: they’re like magic wands that can do it all. Think about it—you can read books, connect with friends, manage your finances, and even explore the entire world, all from a handheld device.
It’s like having a personal genie in your pocket!
So, just how smart are these smartphones? They can double as a computer, a financial advisor, a confidant, and, of course, your window into the world of social media.
We’re connected in ways we never imagined, yet sometimes, this connection leaves us feeling strangely disconnected from the real world. It’s this very paradox that led me to write my latest book on our phone obsessions.
We’re all a little obsessed. The lights and sounds of these marvelous gadgets entrance even the tiniest tots. But here’s the kicker: we adults are no different. We clutch our phones as if they hold the secret to our happiness, as if they can fulfill our every need. And perhaps they can, to an extent.
But here’s the catch—we can’t let them control us. We need to find a balance, to unplug from our digital tethers while staying connected to the real world. As the brilliant, award-winning author Margi Miklis put it, “Release Your Obsession with Your PHONE: Heal from the Inside Out is the perfect self-help guide to help you unplug while staying connected.” It’s about regaining control of our lives without losing touch with what truly matters.
Remember when life was simpler, and entertainment was born from creativity? The days of rabbit-eared televisions and transistor radios have faded into memory, replaced by a single device that can do it all.
Our smartphones have become our best friends, accompanying us everywhere, even to the bathroom. They hold our entire lives within their sleek frames. Imagine life without them—even for just an hour. It’s a thought that sends shivers down our spines.
Why are we so obsessed with our phones? Is it the constant quest for happiness, the fear of missing out, or simply the allure of information at our fingertips? Maybe it’s the irresistible allure of notifications, urging us to check and recheck for that dopamine hit. Whatever it is, if your phone controls you to where you can’t function without it, this book is your lifeline.
Can you picture life without your cellphone? It’s challenging, isn’t it? Most of us can’t go anywhere or do anything without this 240-gram marvel. But this book isn’t a technical manual about the inner workings of your phone. It’s a deep dive into the grip of addiction that this tiny wonder can have on us.
Release Your Obsession with Your PHONE is about tapping into your authentic spiritual self, operating from within so you can engage with the outer world gracefully, without urgency and fear of missing out. It’s not about demonizing our devices but about finding ourselves amidst the digital noise.
We spend countless hours searching for information, influencers, solutions, and products on our high-tech gadgets, which serve as mini computers, banks, schools, friends, and more. This book delves into the psychology behind our behaviors, guiding us away from the illusion that our self-worth is determined by the latest trends or gadgets.
I started my journey writing about obsessions with food, mind chatter, and cheat days. But, like an ever-evolving dance, obsessions shifted, leading me to explore aging and money obsessions. Now, with Release Your Obsession with Your PHONE, I’m addressing the grip our devices can have on us.
My ultimate goal writing this book is to lead you to a healthy relationship with yourself—the most precious asset you’ll ever own. And woven within this journey are the threads of our other obsessions, touching on weight, eating disorders, fear of aging, and money matters.
By the time you finish Release Your Obsession with Your PHONE: Heal from the Inside Out, you’ll exude confidence in discerning what’s right for you and what’s not. You’re on the path to freedom, where your phone enhances your life, but it no longer defines it.
Are you addicted to your phone? When was the last time you closed your phone and turned it off? Have you ever lost your phone and was late for work or an engagement because you couldn’t move forward without it in hand?
