Breaking Up with Your Phone Accountability Sessions

Do you feel distracted, busy or stressed much of the time?

Are you on your phone more than you’d like?

Do you find it hard to make time for what you truly value?

I am FIRED up about supporting people to get off their phones / technology and get more present in their lives.

The phone is designed to be addictive, and pretty much everyone I know is addicted.

In order to reclaim our attention and presence, we need more than just an intention.

We need accountability, strategy, structure, and a deep look into our subconscious habits.

————————————————————————————-

I discovered Catherine Price’s 30-day plan for decreasing phone use and I think it’s an excellent support for this process.

"The point is not to punish yourself. We’re trying to resolve discrepancies between how we say we want to live our lives, and how we are actually living our lives…Our goal is not abstinence; it’s consciousness." - Catherine Price

CLARIFICATION: Breaking up with your phone does not mean throwing it away and never using it. Breaking up with your phone means that you’re ending the enmeshed, out of control aspects of your relationship and hopefully replacing it with more of a healthy friendship.

In accountability sessions, we will reflect on:

-What are you seeking when you reach for your phone?

-What are you avoiding when you reach for your phone?

-What can you learn about yourself through your phone habits?

-What do you truly want to be paying attention to?

The internet and smartphone industry know exactly how to hijack our attention.

Let’s reclaim it.

"There is nothing wrong with mindless distraction.

There are times when zoning out on your phone is exactly what you wanna do.

What is problematic--- and what we’re trying to avoid is letting the state of mindless distraction become our default."

- Catherine Price

What people are saying about Michelle:

“Michelle is skilled, warm-hearted and open. She creates a rich and wonderful space for our inner worlds to be revealed. We have time to connect in ways that are gentle and also to experience the discomforts that arise as humans meet our edges and challenge our assumptions. This can be done because Michelle creates a container that is rooted in humility, honesty and kindness.”

“I am taking away a better sense of who I am and what I have offer, and a greater appreciation for others and their gifts. I am taking away a better capacity to check out my assumptions and be more curious about others without trying to change them”

"Michelle holds such a warm, open, honest space. In this container, the group was able to open to rich, revealing, and transformative processes in every session."

“Michelle taught us how to connect the constellation of our bodies into something fluid and knowable. The classes are a much needed lesson in the wisdom of the body, the benefits of slowing down, and how sometimes the smallest movements have the greatest impacts.” - Oona Robertson

“Warm, open, curious, inviting. Supportive and safe. A great blend of spacious and engaged. Skilled.”

“I love working with Michelle! She is such a good listener and instantly makes me comfortable!” - Melissa McClung, Filmmaker

“Michelle’s warm, kind manner, precise and thorough instructions, and unfailingly encouraging attitude have brought me on a healing journey with Feldenkrais for which I am deeply grateful.” - Kamas Choi

"Michelle's classes are fun, relaxing and I come away feeling more connected." - Heather Tauck
