What goes in has a profound impact on what comes out. It’s true for health and nutrition and it’s true for digital wellbeing.
Maintaining a proper balance in your consumption of social media, the internet, and other digital media helps you guard your mental health from an overflow of digital junk.
There’s a lot of good that can be done with these digital tools but there is a law of diminishing returns. When we lose the balance of productive use and unproductive use we begin to see real-life consequences: anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
We need to treat our minds in the same way we treat our bodies. Just as there are physical nutrition guidelines, we need to pay attention to our mental nutrition. Spending too much time on social media can quickly become the mental equivalent of junk food.
