A holistic nutritionist has revealed the ‘ultimate wellness hack’ that changed her life for the better — and the best part is that it’s free. 

Rebecca Leigh Sejzer, 25, from Los Angeles, California, is the founder of the self-improvement platform Within You. She has nearly 190,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares health and wellness advice

The content creator, who uses the handle @rebeccaaleigh, dedicated a video to the one thing she does that has changed her mornings for the better. 

‘[There is] one simple tip that I can give you guys that has helped me significantly with my anxiety, my focus, [and] my days — because I start my days off on a different foot,’ she said. ‘It’s free, and you can literally start it tomorrow morning.’

The content creator, who uses the handle @rebeccaaleigh, shared her 'ultimate wellness hack' on TikTok, saying she puts her smartphone on airplane mode every night before bed

Rebecca explained that after she sets her alarm for the next day and is ready to go to sleep at night, she puts her smartphone on airplane mode.  

‘When you wake up in the morning, don’t turn your phone off airplane mode for at least the first 30 minutes of your day,’ she advised. ‘Since it’s on airplane mode, you won’t be tempted to check your notifications.’

The wellness guru noted in the on-screen text that she likes to use this time to meditate, go outside, and journal before starting her day.    

‘I am not kidding you guys. You will have a significantly different day than if you start looking at your phone first thing in the morning,’ she insisted. ‘It has changed my life.’

Rebecca admitted in the caption that she doesn’t always follow her own advice, and she notices a difference when she checks her phone first thing in the morning.  

‘The ultimate wellness hack… I didn’t do it today and I can feel how much worse I feel today because of it,’ she wrote in the caption. 

The influencer’s video has been viewed more than 130,000 times and has received dozens of comments. 

Fans of the tip agreed that it is one of the best things you can do throughout your day for your mental health.

‘I’ve been doing this for the past few years and it’s revolutionized my day and setting my intentions!’ one person responded. 

‘Yes!!! I love airplane mode time. I also do airplane mode work blocks in the week — highly recommend,’ another shared. 

‘Truth. I do three hours in the eve and an hour in the morning,’ someone else added.

Others admitted they were afraid to put their phones on airplane mode at night in case there was an emergency. 

‘I would love to do this, but just [scared] that there will be an emergency one night and I won’t receive the call,’ one user explained. 

‘I have too much anxiety about someone having an emergency for this,’ someone else agreed. 

Some commenters suggested putting their phones in ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode and adjusting the settings to allow certain emergency contacts to come through. 

According to an IDC research report, 80 percent of smartphone users check their phones within 15 minutes of waking up, but the seemingly innocent habit is linked to stress

Emily McDonald, a neuroscientist and mindset coach from Arizona, also shared on TikTok that she avoids checking her phone first thing in the morning

‘Whenever you wake up in the morning, your brain waves transition from theta to alpha. This means your subconscious mind is in a more programable state,’ she explained. ‘The content that you consume during this time will have a greater impact on your mindset.’ 

McDonald noted that morning cellphone use also ‘messes up our dopamine’ and leads us to ‘continue to check our phones’ for hits of pleasure throughout the day.
