Constant notifications, scrolling, and screen time can quietly increase stress levels without us realising. Creating simple digital boundaries can help calm the nervous system while still staying connected.
📱 How Digital Overload Affects Stress
- Keeps the brain in a constant “alert” state
- Disrupts focus and relaxation
- Can interfere with sleep and recovery
- Increases mental fatigue
🌿 Simple Digital Boundaries That Help
- Turning off non-essential notifications
- Avoiding screens during the first and last 30–60 minutes of the day
- Keeping phones out of the bedroom overnight
- Checking emails at set times rather than constantly
- Taking short screen-free breaks during the day
🧠 Why Small Changes Matter
Digital boundaries don’t need to be extreme. Small, consistent changes help signal safety and calm to the nervous system, reducing background stress over time.
🌱 Supporting Calm Beyond Screens
Pairing digital boundaries with nourishing food, gentle movement, and rest creates a more balanced daily rhythm.
Protect Your Energy
Lowering stress isn’t about doing less — it’s about creating space. Simple digital boundaries can help protect your energy, attention, and peace of mind.
