Whatever age you are, excessive social media consumption is affecting our physical and emotional wellbeing, especially children. Some are waking up with over 100 notifications from conversations that have happened overnight. They feel overwhelmed with what they are missing out on what is happening in their groups or just general social media gossip.
We have become slaves to technology It's not that this technology is all bad and terrible It is more a case that the reality is technology is here to say and we just need to use it in a positive way.
Go for a Digital Detox once a week for 3 hours- take a break from devices altogether turn them off. You can start this as 1 hours to try it then build up to 3 hours. At first, you will feel quite lost but as you get used to it you will feel free and not tied waiting for the next notification to arrive.
