Back from my digital detox day off🥰 I love my off day from the digital world. To disconnect from smartphone and social media is refreshing. 💙
I used to not have any social media platforms when most of the people I know have them and for me, to mind with just 1 world is a lot easier.
I started my social media platforms because of my writing and photography journey, I want to share my writings and art, and perhaps aspire, inspire and help people along the way. It's my workspace, besides opportunities, there are challenges and time off is needed to re-energise.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the digital world, just like the real world. For the digital world, you just have to know when to switch on and off and to focus and work on the advantages. Most importantly, know that your real life should be your main priority no matter what.
Countless studies showed strong correlations between social media usage and depression and anxiety which may affect your mental health. Dependence on digital devices may also change the way our brains operate for the worse.
That's why digital detox is crucial. Many benefits you can reap from practising digital detox. It helps you to reduce screen time, reduce stress and anxiety, be more personable, build relationships, stop comparing yourself to others, change the way you seek validation, better mental health and physical health, better sleep, posture, hormonal and cellular health, be more engaged with real-world activities and so much more!
So how you can start to digital detox? Create a schedule that works for you and follow it. Establish a device-free space or just put your smartphone aside or out of sight. Work on yourself and pick up a new skill or hobby. Focus on building a relationship with yourself and the people who matter.
It's important to do it at your own pace. Digital detoxing can make you feel more refreshed and live a better and positive life. Pick a time for you to step away from your phone screen and appreciate what you have in front of you - other than the tech devices.
It's time for us to reconnect more with people and the real world. Together we improve our overall wellbeing. 💪
