Digital Wellness

What is Digital Wellness?

Digital wellness is about balancing a healthy relationship with technology and the digital world. We want to use digital wellness to help us enhance our well-being rather than face the negative effects of the digital world. 

I was challenged to look at my screen time in a week - I honestly was surprised by my results in a good way. My screen time average is 1 hour and 31 minutes per day (1 hour and 26 minutes being Tik Tok). This was during a normal work week - as a grade 1 teacher I don’t really have the flexibility of checking my phone a lot throughout the day, which is why I think my screen time is on the lower side. However, I am going to redo this challenge now that I am on summer break to see how it will change (I know it will become a lot worse). One personal boundary I have set up for myself daily is reading 1 hour before bed instead of scrolling. This was a 2023 goal for me that has helped me fall asleep way easier and has also helped my goodreads goal (bonus!). 

Digital Boundaries: How to Make Boundaries and Keep Up With Them

In this video, it describes ways we can create digital boundaries for ourselves. The video goes into detail about how putting in specific boundaries can reduce stress. 

It can be hard to create boundaries for ourselves, but if we don’t establish boundaries we will face the negative effects of screen time and digital use. A boundary I have put into place as a teacher is not answering or checking emails after contract hours. When I was a first year teacher I didn’t have this boundary and parents would email me at 8:00pm and expect an answer almost immediately. Knowing this was causing stress for me, I decided I wouldn’t be doing that moving forward, which has helped my stress levels and has maintained a healthy work-home life. I think it is really important to make yourself accountable for creating boundaries and sticking to them. Below is a model that shows the 4 aspects of digital wellness. This model is a great resource to check in with yourself and ensure you are doing what is best for your own digital well-being. 

There are many ways we can teach others to have a balanced digital wellness lifestyle. Some of the ways include:

Managing screen time: Being conscientious about the amount of time you actually spend on your devices. 

Taking digital breaks: Stop using your phone for scrolling before bed each night and see how it makes you feel. 

Digital boundaries: Creating boundaries so that you don’t feel overwhelmed by the end of each day with the amount of screen time you’ve had. 

Applying tools that help you keep up with your boundaries (ex. Night time mode on your phone - doesn’t allow notifications or app use for certain times in the night).
