Pretty proud, only times I used my phone was to 1) Send a picture to my friends of our grocery store being shut down, 2) to text my mom and 3) to use for driving directions.

Even in the past 24 hours, my hands feel better. Maybe it is all in my head but my thumbs are not nearly as in much pain as they were last night. I decided tomorrow I will ice and the next day I will apply heat.

Things I have noticed from not being on my phone:
-My hands still do a lot, like gripping and planks (shoutout to insanity and power lifting classes)
-My main source of communication is snapcaht, I've received 27 snapchats today alone
-Instagram on desktop is horrible but that's the only way I am keeping up with my likes
-It feels good to relax, kinda

Without my phone in my hand I tend to leave it home or in the car so I have become less worried where it is which is nice knowing I may not have accidentally left it on the treadmill or something.

Overall, this isn't a detox from my phone. Just a break for my hands. And it is helping.

Loads of you have weighed in saying how your hands have also hurt and how you've taken care of the situation. Overuse seems to be the main culprit. followed by smaller phone. So iPhone 6S, I'm looking at you to cure my hand pains.

The next two days will be interesting but if my hands already feel this much better after 24 hours of controlling my phone use, I can't imagine how they will feel by Thursday!

Off to bed, reading a book again, WHO AM I?

XOXO
