Simplify- Anna Meurer

What does simplify mean? Simply means to make something easier and less stressful as it was before. Considering we are all teenagers, I would say that we all have pretty stressful lives. So why not make them less stressful than they have to be by simplifying them?
     One way that I could simplify my life would be to set out a few hours of my day to not be on my phone or any internet at all. If you look at it, what do majority of people do all of the time? The answer is look at unimportant things on our phones. I have figured out by looking at my phone I am getting nothing out of it, but for some reason everyday I feel the need to look at it. Sometimes it even causes me to stress about things. It's like I have to look at social media's everyday or I am not content, and honestly looking at it doesn't bring me much joy. Often times it causes me to become unhappy or worried about something. It definitely has an affect of my attitude after, whether that is a positive effect or negative effect.  For example, people say that how many likes you get on a picture doesn't matter. Well then why do we all look and see how many likes we ended up getting after a few days? If it didn't matter, then we wouldn't look.
     From now on I am going to set a goal for myself to not be on my phone as much as I am. It is not something that I have to do and honestly it's not something that I even want to do. I could be getting so much more out of my day, by setting my phone down. Something as simple as cleaning my room, or getting my homework turned in on time. It will most likely cause less stress on myself, and it will have a positive affect on my attitude.
