DAILY DIGITAL DETOX: A Steemit Community Life Series & Reminder | E.24 - Intentionally / Regularly Unplugging + My Quick Engagement Poll To You!
3 minutes ago
barrydutton71 in life
I have taken this subject pretty seriously over the years. You need time offline.
Regularly & Intentionally. For lots of reasons.
THE DIGITAL DETOX SERIES OBJECTIVE SERIES CONSTANTS:
My plan with this series is to intentionally remind you, daily to get offline, give your brain, eyes, soul a break and time to reset and remind you that relationships with people can suffer if you are always on your phone and not PRESENT -- in every sense of the word.
The irony of bringing this series to you online, asking you to get offline, on an online blogging platform, is not lost on me.
There have been limited studies done on some of the effects of this digital hold on our lives and they are concerning to say the least. Social media use appears to encourage some of the following negative effects, some of which we hear about regularly now:
-- Narcissism
-- Screen time/white light/activity appears to be causing insomnia/broken sleep cycles (circadian rhythm)
-- Detached reality making our society and kids less empathetic and in touch with reality
Results from the few studies that have been done are troubling. Social media appears to promote narcissism, smartphones could be causing insomnia, and screens seem to be making our kids less empathetic.
Earlier posts in this series covered that in more detail.
TODAY'S DIGITAL DETOX TIDBIT:
A Study was done, by taking influencers to the Moroccan desert, where their tech was left behind for a few days. I will break these next posts in this series up by showing the results and hopefully you can ponder things and then apply these results to your life, in your own way!
--
Part 1: ( See next Digital Detox series post out about once/week to follow along, and check all the past posts in this series I run for lots of tips )
Google / Search Engines for everything: The Conversation Killer.
The topics and quality of dialogue changed when people were without technology.
In the connected world, when general questions or trivia is injected into a conversations, we now immediately "Google" the answer. Bringing a sudden end to that particular issue or question on the table.
But without the Google or search engines on a device..... we have to keep talking as we search collectively for an answer, which often results in creative trains of thought, storytelling or funny organic topical games as people guess...... that lead to new inside jokes, or really quite rich topics or conversation!!!
--
“These are the conversations that really form bonds between people,” the project organizer points out.
“You gain insight into the way someone’s mind works, and it is not typically a conversation anyone has had before, so it is engaging and memorable.”
Find a Digital Detox buddy as was mentioned earlier to do these things with, it helps to have support in place for little things like this.
Support and accountability again.
I've blogged here and in the past about this, but new people are finding the posts, or searching online, so I am saying this again today because it is VERY very important:
--
Keep tech/devices out of your bedroom and your kids rooms:
A constant tip is change 1 habit at a time, so I will keep this in the series.
Reminder: (see past posts) -- Try to use proper, healthy posture techniques always and be purposeful about this.
http://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/posture-for-a-healthy-back
Stick with it and make notes daily about how you feel doing this! Share thoughts with a friend or 2!
--
I don't embed my sources like "professional bloggers" -- 9/10 times -- people don't click the sources anyways, let alone hover the cursor to even check quickly, and this way, they can SEE the sources / url's -- that's what I prefer myself anyways, so if i get flagged, I get flagged, I am trying to appeal to the masses here.
It is more than just unplugging intentionally as I call it -- it is a return to some societal values that we have abandoned in favour of having all the access to data and online resources we have -- a shift is required. However:
Intentional Unplugging as I call it -- is a huge and necessary step.
--
As a reminder of what we see daily in the PHYSICAL realm of problems, here is a graphic showing the damage of the neck and spine as it relates to pounds of pressure looking downwards all the time:

(Sorry this is grainy but I enlarged this 2x, so you could see it better. This is right from the Ontario Chiropractic Association (hard to read but that is the source) -- and I wanted this unedited, it was a jpeg and resizing those means less quality)
My Community Engagement questions to you, today, if you have read this far are simple and will evolve over time:
-- Did you INTENTIONALLY "unplug" or stay offline this week? How many times? Give yourself 1 point for each day in your reply!
-- Did you unplug with a family member / friends intentionally this week and thus CONNECT to them meaningfully? If yes, give yourself a point!
-- Have you realized this is a problem in your life, because that is the FIRST step! If so - 2 points for you!
-- Are you aware of this problem around you and your friends and family and have you addressed it with others? If so, you get a point also! ( Note I have always used the word "addressed" in this series, some people confuse this word with telling others what to do.... this is not the same thing. Dialogue with others is the goal. Awareness.)
-- Did you put your devices in another room at dinner time and at bedtime this week intentionally? That's a point each time, champ! List it! Think on it!!
--
Please tally up your points, list it in a reply and please open up about how you feel about these issues in your life and the world today!!
Why??
Because this is a Community Resource and I care and we are all in this together. None of us are getting out alive.
That is the end of today's post in this series. I wanted to cover all the basics in the Series constants, as usual, for all the new people reading this post for the first time,
If you are still reading -- thank you very much and have a nice day. I hope something here helps you.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.
