Digital detox: How to unplug and recharge

Taking a break from technology can be a good thing from time to time and can be good for your physical and mental health. Here are some ways you can unplug from your devices (and still stay connected). 

There are three main ways of dealing with digital stress. The first is through time management: if your time is better organized, your online life won’t get in the way of other things you need to do. The second is through changing your habits and attitudes to make your digital life less stressful. Finally, it’s important to make time for rest and reflection so that you aren’t constantly under stress. Media Smarts

We hope this newsletter will be a support to you as we read, research, and learn together at Lawrence Park C.I. Library Learning Commons.
