Three things good for both Mental Health and the Planet

Share:

What if your actions could help your mental health, but also the planet? Win-win, right?!

There are many aspects of technology that affect our mental health:

  • Shutting down your phone or computer at night – Enables you to reduce the stress from your day at work and to be fully present in the moment (11).
  • Buying less – Making good consumer decisions (e.g. avoiding buying devices just because they’re on sale) and saving to buy a more efficient device can still give you the dopamine boost you’re looking for while limiting financial stress (12).
  • Pausing streaming – Doing anything too often or for too long (including screen time) can burn you out (13).

Something as simple as downloading your favorite song instead of streaming it every morning has an impact (8). Every action toward reducing your impact, whether big or small, does help.
