21 Things To Do In the Morning Before Checking Your Phone

[@ilektrakaratasiou3352]

My mum irons in the morning as it is a quiet activity and she gets a lot done without disturbing anyone. I will have to do the same as I wouldn't do it during the day and it hadn't work in the evenings so far in the last 6 months. If I have a good night's sleep, I wake up early and can iron our lovely cotton bedding for a 5* bed experience.

[@cynthiapittard4086]

Thank you for your wise thoughts

[@CharuSmita21]

Watched this video just after waking up ironically

[@shaistakhan6389]

Thank you for making my last year less stressful by making useful videos. Blessed with daughter after 12 years. ❤

[@shars.555]

One thing you can control is where you decide to focus your attention, overall, through your positive mindset. Thank you so much. This may seem small, but it's huge and so life-changing. ❤

You are always so inspiring..Thank you🙏

Good advice.

[@valerierogers9609]

There's not been one phone notification that's ever changed my life. Therefore, it can sit until I'm darned good and ready to check it 😊

[@monikavarro2020]

I'm checking my phone right now! 😃 I usually do it while I'm waiting for my coffee water to boil. I'm trying to break the habit. I check my phone in the morning because I'm too busy during the day to do it.

[@ishani5290]

Every single message of yours has many great lessons and meaning to our lives. I genuinely enjoy your life lessons while trying to implement the ones I can. I have made a lot of progress towards simplicity and minimalist attitude after watching your videos. Thank you very much dear Mr BECKER. A / the great minimalist icon in my life ! 🙏🌞💐👍🎊💯🏆🍀🐞🌱🌏

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

Same thing with not turning on the TV. 😊 We don’t even have a TV and we absolutely love it.

[@threewins3]

I agree! My problem is I can’t see the clock/ time with out looking at my phone 😢. Thankfully, after I figure out the time, I don’t look at the darn thing again unless I get a notification of a call or a text. I respond to these because we have a child living outside our home. Moms worry about our children living outside our home. 🫤🤷🏻‍♀️

[@qtluvBilly3]

Same. I also have one kid in the military.

[@janethunt4037]

Great suggestions!

[@mrsdavidgomes]

Excellent!

[@leannegrieve8925]

Is there any way you can put captains on your video with important points I love to share this with my deaf friends

[@valeriehowden471]

Great ideas. I know so many individuals who do not have clocks in their homes and use their phones as alarms, therefore more difficult to avoid phones and all that they bring with it.

[@rowenalee1684]

I think that if they use their phones intentionally, it would make a huge difference! It's the mindless scrolling and some apps that waste time that may potentially ruin a morning.

[@tinahuttner7280]

I’m actually one of the few that doesn’t check my phone especially on the weekends. I’m not even awake enough to pay attention, I put meditative or relaxing music on,wipe my eyes from the sleep and drink water😀

[@kennethbailey9853]

😊Always Look Foreward to hear You Teach. 😊😊😊

[@SofiAlexV]

This is amazing🤩🙏

[@arlenekeith6235]

I certainly need to do the things you mentioned. I've become tethered to my phone. Not a good thing at all !

[@gsthompson4592]

The only thing I ck my phone for in the morning is for appts for the day & the weather for the day! I can totally do w/o social media! ... Glenda

[@deborahtipton710]

I had a box of tea bags years ago with sayings on the tags , one of which REALLY spoke to me. It read “ If you can’t be happy with everything you have, how can you POSSIBLY be happy with more?”

[@gerlunatorres]

I got used to not checking my phone first thing in the morning, even when I use it to set my wake up alarm. Yes, I do quite some of the things you mention, and they work. The challenges are in controlling your impulse and being focused in your morning habits.

[@valeried2941]

Incredibly helpful video! Wonderful suggestions. Thank you!

[@dorothyelder1534]

Great video. People need to hear your words of wisdom. You are doing a great job.

[@gloriayouchisonbrown7734]

[@nancylee1883]

Another great video for me to reflect on and implement.

[@milkduds04]

Excellent advice!

[@ktrudy1]

Love this ❤

[@wanderinghome9979]

I just have to say that the ending shot with you standing on the round hills of grass is quite intriguing to me. I look at it carefully because it seems fake and this evening I figured out why it seems fake to me. It is because I am from Texas, and my brain finally caught up and said where are the mesquite trees?!?

[@sis_yd_jesuschrist]

Interesting

[@Claimedtwice]

I want a cool bullet proof photo of these 21 things!

[@joodjood2138]

Amazing ….🤩

[@therichbuddha3277]

First video of the day ;)

[@rachelgustafson1207]

I’ve been doing this and it has helped me greatly! My phone is on airplane mode in my office when I get ready for bed. Ending my day without my phone is also helpful! ❤

[@carlamendoncapeixoto]

Boa noite Joshua. Perfeitas dicas! Abraços

[@katepavelle9465]

I check my phone to 1. turn off my alarm (I usually wake up before it goes off,) and to check the outdoor temperature. Seeing how cold or warm it is mentally prepares me for the morning cold bath on the back porch. But now that I don't have to worry about windchill, you make a good point that it adds unnecessary stress. Maybe I can deal with the temperature the way it is. I had done so all winter long, after all - and now it's lovely outside!

[@victoriajohnson3034]

I think it's key to have plenty of planned morning time to just wake up and start your day. 2 hrs is my magic number. My whole day is crazy if I jump out of bed throw clothes on and head out the door in a rush.

[@joshuap2770]

Hi

[@jayathome2898]

Thinking about getting an old fashioned alarm clock so my phone can be in another room overnight. I just worry “what if someone has to get ahold of me in the middle of the night for an emergency”? So hard now that we don’t have a landline. Any thoughts?

[@ilektrakaratasiou3352]

Are you on call for emergency services? If not, what can be more important than your sleep. Perhaps the death of someone (but then they are already dead). I turned all alarms and sound off or else the thought of something possibly waking me up is stressing me too much to relax at night. At least at night we have the right and privilege not to be disturbed.

[@simini1837]

You forgot to mention listen to some music or the radio (what I used to do before the smart phone era:). Thank you for the video!

[@FisherOfMen705]

Waaaaiiiit a sec, I grab my phone to turn off my alarm and check the forecast as soon as I awaken, does this count? I'm a live in caregiver to my dad and grandad and I'm raising 2 young daughters, and so the next 1.5 hours after waking , I am caring for others. Only after that will I sit down with coffee and phone.

[@Mary-fy8st]

A problem for my kids and I could not control them ...They wouldn't listen😢

[@runningwoman7207]

🙏

[@DFBurgermeister]

I know you are right about checking my phone, but I use it to track my sleep patterns and it’s also my wake up alarm. I try to put it back down after I turn the alarm off, but not always successful. Note: tried using Alexa for wake-up alarm, but the voice makes the dogs start barking and that’s stressful for me.

[@Ffgm1w]

👏🏻

[@victoriajohnson3034]

If you must check your phone for necessity first thing in the morning, only check what you have to. I check text messages as I am responsible for family members, everything else waits till later.

[@jstamaria9379]

Spend time with God by reading the Bible and do prayer as always the first priority before checking your phone or before doing anything.

[@shirleygermain5707]

I may be the only one that uses a phone as a phone.

[@williamclark1244]

I don't keep any electronic devices in my bedroom and I get to do several things before I check my phone for the current weather. Then I go for a morning walk without taking the phone.

[@angelamarie222]

Love this ❤

[@monikavarro2020]

What spouse? I don't have a spouse. 🤔

[@franmcdonald4702]

Wait! What?! I listen to Joshua Becker first thing in the morning!❤

[@efitz3397]

I’m watching this after just waking up! I find i often doze up but watching a KZbin video wakes me up. My partner has left for work and I’m drinking hot lemon water. Once it’s gone I’m up and at em…😀

[@olivia9066]

👍❤️

[@Moledmc]

Cup of coffee and radio for an hour. Don't turn my phone on for the first hour of the day anyway

[@barbaradelira6790]

I check my phone first thing because I'm afraid I might have missed a call or text from a family member.

[@cindybirchbauer7846]

I keep my phone in my bedroom and don't check it till 2 pm😉

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

I feel like when I play my games, I do that quite intentionally. When I WANT to kill time and just get lost for a short while in something fun. It feels diff to me than dealing with social media, email or messages or anything to do with other people. Me and my games are a lot more like “alone time” and “rest my brain” time. I purposely stay out of “group games” or in any game I don’t join groups, Bcuz I just want to be alone with it. And I really only have 2 or 3 total anyways. Been playing the same games for years on end. Lmao. One is also a word game so I feel like it’s helping me stay sharp much like when I used to do crosswords. “Puzzles” help me relax my highly analytical mind that is always going to be “processing” something no matter what. So I just direct it to something like a puzzle so it can “recharge.” My mornings are more like make coffee, feed animals, go potty, quick tidy and make bed, drink coffee. And that’s where the games come in. It’s my “coffee down time.” I also may after that hop on YT to watch something short and educational or inspiring…such as this video during coffee time. I think also it has a lot to do with content. If my devices are “clean” and streamlined, then I don’t have as much to weed through…such as to find something good to watch that isn’t really like watching TV TV..which I reserve for the end of the day. I actually need my phone to remember what day it is, check the time, the weather and so on.

[@giennefarcais6834]

Not me. I barely check it during the entire day. If it's really important, the police will come to your door. Otherwise, it can wait. I do check emails but not on an urgent basis. I have other things to do.

[@timothyswauger3984]

Simply put, life is better if you can limit yourself to picking up your phone to 3 times a day.

[@razakhm]

I use my phone to wake up, that's the problem right there.

[@lisbethchristensen1981]

And this video was definitely the first thing I saw this morning when I picked up my phone in bed 🤦‍♀️
