(WXYZ) — There's a psychological reason our brains want to buy the latest technology.

If you've ever wondered why you can't resist buying the latest iPhone as soon as it's released, it may be because your brain is wired to make you crave new technology and tech companies are more than happy to exploit this weakness. Tips to help you create healthy boundaries on your phone include :

  • Stay on top of life, but be present in the moment
  • Set the example around others you want to see
  • Physically distance yourself
  • Take out the unnecessary and avoid mindless scrolling
  • Set goals and work to improve
