About The Course
Smartphones and social media apps are tailored to make you addicted. With every swipe and new notification, you fall deeper into the rabbit hole. Soon, one hour of screen time turns to two, which then turns to five and then to eight. Before you know it, most of your day is spent looking at your phone.
Whilst it may feel good at the time, it can wreak havoc with your productivity and stress levels, especially if it becomes a habit. Now is the time to break free from addiction and learn exactly how to deal with digital stress. In this course, you will learn what causes digital stress and how you can make a habit of reducing your screen time for good. We will also tackle the stress caused by social media. “How can social media cause stress?”, you may be asking yourself. Social media is one of the largest factors in rising stress levels, especially among younger age groups that use it more often. Seeing a tailored, filtered view of the world is bound to have you questioning your own self-worth, so it's critical you cut down on its usage in order to live an enriched and contented life.
This course will guide you through the negative impacts of social media, and how to use it correctly and productively. Social media, as well as many other smartphone apps, can make your life appear cluttered. When e-mails, messages from friends and deadline notifications pop up frequently it can become quite overwhelming.
The bulk of this course is based on the five main techniques you can practice to achieve digital minimalism and how to fuse this correctly with your digital stress management plan. Pair this with gratitude practices and general blue light reduction, and you are on the road to achieving the life you have always wanted to live. Smartphones are a wonderful thing - we just don’t always have the right relationship with them.
Now is the time to use your phone the correct way. Enrol today to reclaim your time and energy from the grasp of the digital world.
