WHEN TO CONNECT & WHEN TO UNPLUG

An Exploration of Technology, Well-Being and Enjoying the Best of Both Worlds

It’s a fact that technology is rewiring our brains and creating new challenges across the health and wellness landscape. People wrestle with being connected to technology (and networks of people) yet disconnected from true social support. There’s also evidence that increased consumption is changing the human brain and causing a variety of mental health concerns.

Help your teams discover how to create a healthy relationship with technology while maintaining (or establishing) healthier daily rituals within their personal and professional lives.

Here are just a few ways to support your workplace with balancing technology and self-care:

1.     Maximize movement, mindfulness and meditation with employer-funded programs.

These behaviors produce short-term (i.e. instant) and long-term skills and mind/body/spirit benefits.

Oh, and JUST BREATHE.

2.     Connect, unplug and recharge.

Create healthy boundaries around technology consumption followed by moments of [non-digital] recovery and restoration. Balance technology usage with human interaction/social connection each day yet acknowledge that introverts may need time and space without social interaction to thrive.

[Note: Huge policy & procedure opportunity right here!]

3.     Find focus and flow.

Whether online or offline, at home or in the office, embrace monotasking, take control of your environment (i.e. minimize distractions) and live in your “zone of genius” where you’re engaged with your work and leveraging your strengths.
