Digital Wellness is the optimal state of health and well being we can all attain while using technology with intention. It encourages wellness in both our online and offline lives.
From May 10-15, we will focus on how to increase digital wellness in Mind, Body, Family & Friends, School & Work, and Community. To participate, check your email for daily information on Digital Wellness, and play the family BINGO all week by participating in FREE and exciting activities designed to explore the 5 areas of digital wellness (see below).
5 Areas of Digital Wellness
-
Digital Wellness Week Focus: BODY
Your body is the vehicle that takes you through all of life - treat it well! Protect your sleep, eyes and posture - and move every day.
-
Digital Wellness Week Focus: MIND
Take control of your time, your attention and your joy! We should choose what to pay attention to and when- devices shouldn't choose for us. Online, focus on things that make you productive and happy.
-
Digital Wellness Week Focus: FRIENDS & FAMILY
Our family and friends provide us with the opportunity for true connection and meaning. Show the people you value that they are more important than anything on a device by using eye contact and setting aside device-free times.
-
Digital Wellness Week Focus: SCHOOL & WORK
To boost the productivity and concentration necessary for school (and work) success, we must minimize digital distractions, encourage mono-tasking, and foster work/life balance.
-
Digital Wellness Week Focus: COMMUNITY
Any time we are online, we are citizens of the digital world. What we say and what we do online affects our lives and the lives of others. Be responsible, protect yourself, and remember proper online etiquette - or "netiquette".
