Mindfulness Advocate Undertakes Daily Meditation Challenge to Combat Phone Addiction

Mindfulness App Creator Documents Journey to Combat Phone Addiction Through Daily Meditation. In an increasingly digital world, the challenge of maintaining focus and managing screen time has become a widespread concern. A content creator known as "Monkeyless," the developer behind a mindfulness-based screen time application, is documenting a personal journey to address this issue through a rigorous daily meditation practice. The latest installment, detailing "day five" of a one-hour meditation challenge, showcases the highs and lows of cultivating sustained attention. The video captures the individual engaging in an hour-long meditation session outdoors, using a large analog clock to mark the passage of time. According to the creator's report, the initial 30 minutes of the session demonstrated remarkable focus, reaching what was described as "Stage 5-6 from TMI" – a reference to advanced stages of meditation practice characterized by minimal mind wandering. "There were no gross distractions from the breath," the creator noted, highlighting a period of deep concentration. However, the session faced an unexpected interruption when the clock fell, breaking the participant's focus. This incident marked a turning point, leading to a subsequent decline in concentration. Despite this setback and the absence of deeper meditative states known as "jhanas," the creator concluded the session with a sense of calm, continued focus, and a "small sense of equanimity." This ongoing challenge is directly linked to the "Monkeyless" app, available on both the App Store and Google Play, which aims to help users "end phone addiction, forever." The creator's public commitment to improving their own attention span through meditation serves as both a personal endeavor and a testament to the principles underpinning their application, offering a relatable narrative for those struggling with digital dependency. The initiative underscores a growing trend towards mindfulness as a practical tool for digital well-being.
