DIGITAL DETOX: WHY IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH TO TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR PHONE

A lot of us start and end our day by looking at a screen. Notifications, messages, and endless scrolling quietly take away our time, attention, and peace of mind.

Technology can connect us to the world, but it can also make us feel alone. That is why it is so important for mental health to take a digital detox, which means taking a break from phones and social media on purpose.

You do not have to throw away your devices or disappear from life to do a digital detox. It just means taking a break from all the digital noise and letting your mind relax. It is about being aware of how you use technology, not just doing it out of habit. Being offline for a few hours or a weekend can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in charge of your feelings.
