Digital Wellness refers to the concept of maintaining a healthy relationship with technology and digital devices. It encompasses practices and behaviors that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being in the context of digital interactions. This includes managing screen time, being mindful of how technology affects one’s life, and implementing strategies to reduce negative impacts such as digital addiction, stress, and social isolation. Digital wellness encourages users to use technology in ways that enhance their quality of life, support personal growth, and foster meaningful connections, rather than detracting from their overall well-being. It often involves setting boundaries with device usage, utilizing apps and tools designed to promote mindfulness and balance, and fostering a positive digital environment that nurtures mental health.
