One of the main problems with smart phones is that you worry if you don't check your phone regularly, you may miss out on something important, such as invitations to events or work emails.     3     When someone has something important to tell you, they may give you a call. Therefore, it is necessary to stay away from your phone sometimes.

What's going on in the real world, right in front of you, is almost always more important than what is happening online. Put away your phone when you are with someone important.     4     For example, having dinner with friends will become awkward when you always check your phone.

    5     That is because being addicted to the phone before going to bed greatly influences your sleep. This can harm your physical and mental health in the long run. Therefore, make it a rule to stop using your phone an hour before you go to sleep.

Experiences make us happier than possessions

    4    ? Several studies suggest it is experiences rather than possessions that make us happier. That's partly because once you have purchased something, such as a new car, you get used to seeing it every day and the initial joy fades, experts say. However, you can continue to get happiness from memories of experiences over time.

Happiness means living in the moment

If you're seeking to increase your own sense of happiness, try mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness means being present and in the moment, and observing in a nonjudgmental way.     5     For physical health, it's not so much happiness that counts, but this ability to regulate and have a sense of purpose and meaning.
