How to just sit still?

River

Like why is it impossible to just sit and watch the tv? I just spend all my time on my phone checking messages in case someone needs me or checking in with people who I don’t trust with their own safety.

How do I just sit still and relax?? It’s impossible I swear it’s like asking someone to become president at 16

Hey @Rose113, that's a good question. How do you feel about not being able to sit still and focus on watching TV? Why do you think you feel the need to keep checking your phone?

We might feel unable to sit still for several reasons - general feelings of restlessness; developing a habit of checking our phone when we're bored; or perhaps feeling anxious about something on our minds. Depending on what it is, the answer on how to approach it can be very different! But know that you're not the first or last person to ask this question - it's not uncommon that people feel this way at some point in life. We're here to support you, whatever the answer might be!
