June 2025: Disconnect & Recharge

Limit Digital Overload for Better Mental Health

Recharge your mind by setting healthy boundaries with screens and digital platforms. Your brain and body need regular breaks to rest, reflect, and reconnect with the real world, allowing space for deeper focus and well-being.

Incorporate these simple, yet effective, habits to help cultivate a healthier relationship with technology:

  • Set Daily Screen Time Limits: Use built-in features on your phone to set daily usage limit.
  • Schedule Tech-Free Breaks: Aim for at least one hour a day with no screens at all – preferably doing something creative or outdoors.
  • Turn Off Non-Essential Notifications: Disable push notifications for social media and other non-urgent apps & keep only essential alerts active, like calls & calendar reminders.
  • Create a “No Screen Zone”: Keep devices out of bedrooms, bathrooms, and dining areas.
  • Replace Screen Time with Offline Activities: Start screen-free hobbies like drawing, journaling, puzzles, reading, gardening, or yoga.
  • Practice Mindful Tech Use: Be intentional with your online time rather than mindlessly scrolling.
  • Try a Digital Detox: Once a month, give yourself a 24-hour break from screens. Use that time for more social connections, being outdoors in nature, or personal reflection
