By Candy
In today’s fast-paced world—and especially in an always-online environment—finding time for yourself has become more difficult than ever. Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and overusing digital devices quietly steal our energy, attention, and peace of mind. While technology connects us in amazing ways, it also brings serious mental health challenges.
So the question is: how can we protect our sanity in this digital age? Here are some simple, practical tips that can help you maintain a mentally healthier digital life—without quitting your phone or the internet.
1. Understand the Impact of Digital Life on Your Mental Health
Social media, in particular, creates unrealistic portrayals of life. Everyone appears perfect online, but often what we see is just a curated show. This can lead to constant comparison and a nagging feeling of “I’m not enough.” But let’s be clear: the fault doesn’t lie in technology itself, but in how we use it. And that’s something we can change.
Let’s face it: we spend nearly all day online. From social media to emails, YouTube, news, and countless other platforms, our screens dominate our time. Studies show that excessive screen time is linked to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and low self-esteem.
