Is your screen time affecting your wellbeing? Improve your mental wellness now

Image
Do your eyes hurt after staring at your phone for long periods? This feeling of depletion and tiredness is probably because you are suffering from digital exhaustion. Just like our bodies feel burnout after doing so much work physically, in the same way, our minds too feel exhausted. The constant connectivity online makes us disconnected from ourselves and our reality. We may feel good watching what others are up to on social media but that also leads to negative self-talk and comparison. Repetitively watching news online can deteriorate your mental health and impact it most terribly.

With online studying and working from home, there has been a prolonged use of digital technology.

In this situation, it's easy to get disturbed and lose your calm. Isn't it? But what if I told you that losing your cool and becoming furious will make you agitated and will not help you find what you're looking for? On the other hand, if you sit calmly for a minute, take a deep breath, and then think about where you kept your keys, you might be able to find them. Maybe it's just beside your table and, due to your restlessness, you were not able to find it. It is always the same case in our everyday life. We always want to react instead of respond which makes things worse. Sometimes without even knowing the whole story, we react and hurt ourselves as well as people close to us. We do or say things out of rage to individuals who genuinely want to help us. So how can we stop reacting and s...
