TAKING 2 WEEKS Off DIGITAL ... I mean hmm I am getting back to normal.šŸ˜‰

ā™„ļøI am from a generation before smart phones and social media, so I am up for a time travel in the next two weeks.


ā™„ļøThis years Global Empowerment Summit is around the corner and it requires me to be online a lot in the rest of the year, so before starting the event organizing process I zoom out to be able to zoom in, because I will need my laser sharp focus.

Let's see how I will manage. Will let you know how it went. See you soonā™„ļø

āœļøI am curious about your experience too write it in the comments. šŸ‘‡

Here is a great summary about digital detox by Health Cleavaland Clinic.

šŸ‘‰What is Digital detox:

Taking a break from using electronic devices or certain media for a period of time, from a few days to several months.

Things people avoid during a digital detox may include:

šŸ”¹Checking email. šŸ”¹Playing video games. šŸ”¹Scrolling social media. šŸ”¹Text messaging. šŸ”¹Using smartphones or tablets. šŸ”¹Watching news or other TV programs."

šŸ‘‰Why do we need to unplug:

ā€œSocial media connects us with others in many beneficial ways,ā€

ā€œBut at the same time, it can also have an unhealthy effect on people.ā€

Negative social media experiences can trigger anxiety and depression and affect self-esteem.

šŸ‘‰This includes:

šŸ”¹Being angry or upset over posted content. šŸ”¹Cyberbullying (online verbal bullying). šŸ”¹Fear of missing out (FOMO). šŸ”¹Feelings of isolation. šŸ”¹Social comparison"

šŸ‘‰Benefits:
