There are many times when I have been stressed out while learning new tools and practicing difficult scenarios using those tools. So I decided that I will not take up too much stress and just learn the tools at my own pace, as and when I have got the time. Identifying your problem just like I did, will make your life easier because that is what triggers you to not be well-versed in whichever technological tool you are interested to get a grasp of.

🔸 Es kann schon wahnsinnig hilfreich für unser Gehirn sein, Push- und Pop-Up-Benachrichtigungen und dauernde Töne/Pingen abzuschalten. 🔸Ebenso Handy außer Sichtweise legen, wenn konzentriert gearbeitet muss (unset Blick fällt unbewusst immer wieder drauf und lenkt uns ab). 🔸Programme die aktuell nicht gebraucht werden schließen. 🔸Mailzeiten einlegen und keinesfalls als erstes am Tag mit Mailbearbektung beginnen, sondern priorisieren. Und um’s Abends abzuschalten heißt das auch digitale Geräte abzuschalten 📲❌✔️

Auch wenn wir häufig denken, dass nach einem langen harten Arbeitstag uns der Griff zum Handy und scrollen in diversen Apps oder stundenlanges Netflix-binge-watchen entspannen würde, so ist das meist nicht der Fall ❌ Stattdessen muss unser Gehirn noch mehr Reize und Informationen verarbeiten, die uns innerlich unruhig werden lassen 🧠. Stattdessen den Punkt erwischen, wo ich meiner Neugier noch nachgebe und sie befriedige und dann erkenne wann es eigentlich erschöpfend statt stärkend wird 🤯.

Never underestimate what taking a three day break from social media can do for you. I know it can be hard to "unplug" at times, but it is worth it to at least try as best you can. The web shows us soo much at any given time, it can be difficult to remember how to slow down.

Social media has good parts and bad parts to it, right? Unfortunately though… in many cases, phones have become an addiction. Here are a few tips to limit screen time, and reduce further stress. - Free zones, dinner table, bedroom, and Sunday mornings. - Switch off notifications on your phone and laptop. Change the home screen to black and white. - Screen time tracking. How much time are you spending on social media? - Get rid of unnecessary apps. Unfollow accounts that are not bringing you joy. - Set a deadline for screen time. No phone 1-2 hours before bed. - Do a social media “detox” for a weekend. - Give yourself 30-60 min in the morning before checking your phone. - Take a phone-free walk, movie night, or lunch break.

My son recently decided to try and embark on a Dopamine Detox and be more mindful about what he consumes. It's a pretty interesting concept where he's cutting back on activities that overstimulate the brain's dopamine receptors, like spending too much time on social media or gaming. What's cool about this approach is that it's not just about cutting things out; it's also about becoming more aware of what you're doing and why. By being mindful about what he's consuming, whether it's media or food, he's becoming more in tune with his habits and choices. It has a big impact on focus and overall well-being, reducing stress. Plus, it's kind of become a fun challenge for the whole family to support each other in making healthier choices.

Achtung in Pausen! Hier neigen wir dazu in Pausenzeiten noch schnell was im Internet zu schauen oder die Messenger Nachrichten von Freunden zu bearbeiten. Lass dich in Pausen auch von digitalen Geräten Pause machen, damit sich dein Gehirn wirklich erholen kann 😇.
