Digital Wellness: Setting Healthy Boundaries

Our relationship with technology profoundly impacts our mental health, productivity, and overall well-being. Learning to set healthy digital boundaries isn't about rejecting technology—it's about using it intentionally to enhance rather than diminish our lives.

Recognizing Digital Overwhelm

Signs that technology might be negatively impacting your well-being:

• Constant Connectivity: Feeling anxious when disconnected from devices

• Sleep Disruption: Screens affecting your sleep quality and schedule

• Attention Fragmentation: Difficulty focusing on single tasks

Creating Digital Boundaries

Practical strategies for healthier technology use:

• Device-Free Zones: Designate spaces in your home for offline activities

• Notification Management: Turn off non-essential alerts and interruptions

• Scheduled Breaks: Regular periods of disconnection throughout the day

Digital wellness is about creating a sustainable relationship with technology that supports your goals and values.
