Psychologist Dr. Smith points out common unnoticed habits that affect us and those around us. The constant use of smartphones strains relationships, with Dr. Smith noting, “Ignoring real-life conversations for screens” as a key issue. Late-night phone scrolling disrupts sleep due to the impact of blue light on melatonin production. Dr. Smith emphasizes prioritizing rest over digital engagement before bedtime. Excessive apologizing diminishes sincerity; Dr. Smith advises saving apologies for meaningful situations. Interrupting conversations hinders effective communication, as Dr. Smith stresses the importance of active listening. Lastly, constant self-criticism harms mental well-being, with Dr. Smith suggesting replacing negative thoughts with positive ones for a healthier mindset.
