The number of time that you grab your phone and unlock it reveals an important fact about your digital habit. These devices have been designed to distract us and many gigantic tech companies have publically acknowledged the power of their products to damage our mental health. Some of the symptoms are being uncomfortable with stillness, be it sitting down to watch a full-length movie or or having a long uninterrupted conversation.
What Is Digital Wellness?
Is It Time to Log Off?
These small intelligent devices dominate our entire day, and they are not just a luxury object anymore. Our brains have adopted a routine around technology and it’s not easy to wean ourselves off the excessive use of it. These days, dialing down your reliance on digital technology is labeled under different names as digital detox, digital wellness, or digital minimalism, and it’s becoming trendy.
Many couches and self-help gurus are offering miracle methods and techniques to help you curb your usage. Many of these miracle cures end up with surpassing app limits and overriding restrictions. Maybe nothing can help more than digging into the issue and finding the root cause of phone addiction, which can be an emotional trigger that pushes you towards your phone in the first place.
