We live in a hyper-connected world, yet many report feeling lonely. Digital wellness is about using technology as a tool, not a crutch.
Signs of Digital Burnout
- Checking your phone immediately upon waking up.
- Feeling anxious when you don't have internet access.
- Comparing your real life to others' curated social media reels.
Setting Boundaries
You don't have to quit social media to be healthy. Try these boundaries:
1. No-Phone Zones: Keep the bedroom and dining table screen-free.
2. The 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
3. Curate Your Feed: Unfollow accounts that make you feel inadequate or stressed.
The Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)
Embrace missing out on the latest trend to experience what's happening right in front of you. The rustle of trees, the taste of coffee, the smile of a friend—these are the high-definition moments that matter.
