SELF-REFLECTION/FAMILY DISCUSSION
Questions to think about once you go Gray:
1. How did it feel to be Gray?
2. Did you use your phone less? Did you feel like you had more time?
3. If you play games on your phone, were they as fun in black and white?
4. If you use social media on your phone, did it change your experience?
5. Did you feel less distracted by your phone?
6. Did you do anything you wouldn't normally have had time for?
7. If you switched back to color, how did it feel to go back?
"I have found Going Gray downright therapeutic. I already had tried out the custom of making an agreement with clients to place phones out of reach, turned over, turned off. And that has helped. While there does seem to be a direct relationship between proximity of cell phone and quality sessions, Going Gray operates on a deeper level so that I don't feel nearly the level of energetic pull that drives me to feel compelled to be connected to the phone at all times."
