In an increasingly digital world, balancing screen time and maintaining mental well-being is a challenge many people face nowadays. With our work and life finding refuge in digital devices, it has become highly difficult to avoid ever-increasing screen time. The result? Less focus, blurry eyes, lack of sleep, and exhausting effects on mental health? However, all of these can be avoided while establishing a harmonious relationship with the technology. How?
If you are a teenager, an adult, or just someone looking to improve your relationship with technology, our upcoming “Tech Wellness: Balancing Screen Time and Serenity” workshop is designed to help you navigate these challenges. Led by Rashmi Sharma, a holistic wellness expert, this workshop offers practical strategies and insights to cultivate a healthier digital life.
Why Tech Wellness Matters?
There is no denying the fact that technology is an integral part of our lives, from work and education to entertainment and social connections. However, excessive screen time can have adverse effects on mental health, including anxiety, depression, and decreased focus. Research shows that overuse of digital devices can disrupt sleep patterns, reduce productivity, and negatively impact personal relationships. This workshop aims to increase awareness of these potential issues and provide practical solutions.
Understanding Your Screentime
The first step to change is…awareness. Participants will be encouraged to track their screen time usage, identifying patterns and potential areas of improvement. This part of the workshop will delve into the concept of digital addiction, helping attendees recognize its signs and understand its impacts. Let’s put a stop to that endless scrolling spree!
Mindful Technology Use
Mindfulness isn’t just about meditation; it can be applied to our digital habits as well. This session will introduce mindfulness techniques that can be integrated into everyday technology use. From mindful scrolling to intentional app usage, participants will learn how to engage with technology more consciously. We’ll also explore the benefits of a digital detox—a period of time away from screens—to reset and refresh.
Creating Healthy Boundaries
Setting boundaries with technology is crucial for maintaining mental health. This part of the workshop will offer tips for creating tech-freeze zones in your home, setting time limits for device use, and managing notifications and online distractions. By establishing these boundaries, participants can reclaim their time and attention, focusing on what truly matters.
Crafting Digital Well-being Plan
A key outcome of the workshop will be the creation of a personalized digital well-being plan. Each participant will set goals and identify strategies for maintaining a balanced relationship with technology. This plan will serve as a roadmap for sustainable changes, helping individuals stay motivated and accountable.
But these highlights are just the tip of the iceberg. Join us to find out more in detail about this exemplary workshop.
