The average American checks their phone 52 times a day . Yet according to breathing experts like Rangan Chatterjee and James Nestor, we rarely breathe as deeply as we should.
We can pair up our instinct to check our phones with a reaction of taking a deep breath. Before you touch your phone, breathe in for 3 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, and release for 5 seconds . This trains us to improve our breathing capability and introduces a delay where there’s a chance we’ll decide we don’t need our phone anyway.
