Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, suggests focusing 'on the moments when we turn to technology to fill up time because we’re uncomfortable without stimulation.' For instance, many of us, in the moments we are bored, waiting for something, and in all the “in between” times, turn to our phones. With mindfulness we can notice those moments of discomfort, feel the impulse to pick up the phone, read the news, scroll through our social media feed, etc., and take a pause, take a breath, notice the impulse, but not act on it.
