Five Ways Our Smartphones (And 5G) Influence Our Wellness

Smartphones are ubiquitous! We’re so dependent on our mobile devices, it’s hard for some of us to imagine spending a day or even a few hours “unplugged.” There’s even a name for it: nomophobia– the fear of being without your phone.

As a giant advocate for the impact of health and wellness on executive effectiveness, I wonder is so much dependence on these devices a good thing or bad? Yes, and yes. As someone who relies on my own devices perhaps more than I’d like, I want to share some ways to keep our dependence in balance.

For input, I spoke with Gentry Jensen, CEO of Penumbra Brands, a company with a portfolio of mobile device accessories for improving our lives by protecting the devices we carry.

In short, if we can’t live without our devices, we need to adopt ways to live better with them. To that end, I hope these ideas are helpful. (And on that note…where did I leave my phone?)
