The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Great to hear! I've been doing something similar for about a year now and it helps quite a lot. You can definitely stick with it if you work on it.
A few other things that have helped me with phone addiction are putting it into grayscale, and just turning it off when I don't need it on for work. I try to have at least one chunk of 3 hours per week with my phone off. It may not seem like much, but especially if you set that time aside intentionally to really get into whatever you're doing, it feels great.
That's a great idea, I'm going to try to do that as well.
