Cut The Constant Connectivity...

To many of us, our phones are our lifelines. But we’re going to convince you that this is your sign to take a digital detox!

Unplugging reduces stress and anxiety from information overload, improves sleeps quality, enhances focus and productivity (you gain up to 3 extra hours), fosters better relationships (emotional wellbeing), and provides an opportunity for self-reflection and mindfulness practices (mental clarity and emotional balance). There’s also more time for physical activities (hello summer), and it can help women reconnect with their self-worth beyond digital comparisons.

We’ll let the numbers do the talking…

* 70% of women reported feeling inadequate after viewing images on socials.

* 40% of women reported feeling more anxious after using social media.

* 25% of women have experienced some form of online harassment or cyber bullying.

*50% of women feel insecure about their appearance due to socials.

* 30% of women indicated that they are addicted to checking their social media accounts constantly.

* 56% of women experience FOMO when they see their friends’ social media posts.

Here’s more convincing evidence:

* Neck, back and shoulder issues from poor posture.

* Social isolation.

* Eye strain.

* Weight gain.

* Repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

* Reduced attention span.

* Chronic stress response - changes in brain structure and function, affecting areas related to memory and emotional processing.

* Desensitisation - potentially leading to increased aggression or diminished empathy.

Ladies, while technology offers numerous benefits, its potential to cause trauma and damage brain, emotional and physical health, highlights the importance of mindful usage and setting boundaries.
