Israeli Influencer Leah Noga Reveals Her Phone Addiction and Steps to Overcome It

Leah Noga, a popular Israeli social media influencer, has openly shared her struggle with phone addiction and its toll on her mental health. In a series of Instagram stories, Noga described how constant phone use and the immediate gratification from social media were causing her significant anxiety and emotional exhaustion. She revealed that after just a few days of reducing her phone consumption, she already felt a notable decrease in her anxiety levels.

Despite the change, Noga emphasized that she is not disappearing from social media or stopping her content creation. Instead, she is altering how she uses apps like Instagram and TikTok, which remain integral to her daily life and work. She explained that the addiction was not to her work or content but to the excessive, often meaningless scrolling that drained her energy and distanced her from herself.

Noga candidly discussed how social media affected her self-perception and peace of mind, leading to emotional overload and a sense of emptiness. She hopes her openness will inspire others who feel overwhelmed by social networks to reconsider their usage. Noga also promised to discuss her decision and its underlying reasons in an upcoming episode of her podcast.
