WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
The average adult in the United States spends about eleven
hours every day interacting with technology — whether it’s
reading or watching something online, scrolling through
social media, or listening to a podcast.
Does that sound familiar? If you’re constantly tethered to technology,
you never fully relax, and that’s hard on your body and mind. You
undoubtedly already know this. Technology use has also been
linked to depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
So putting your phone and laptop aside for an hour, a day, a weekend, or a week can
give your brain and body time to relax and rejuvenate, which allows your spirit to
recover as well. It also makes sense to purge your social media feeds of unsettling or
irritating influences — and add uplifting ones.
Technology is a tool for us to use, not a way to live. There is more to life than just looking at our screens.
