This level of technology and social integration is still in its infancy, and we already see some of the physical and psychological impacts. Our constant distractions make it challenging to focus and enjoy the present moment, and the mainstream media constantly promotes fear and drama. Studies are also showing the links between mobile phone addiction with depression and anxiety.
These new technologies have far reaching benefits and also unintended consequences. It's the conscious choice of how we use and incorporate them into our lives that will dictate their impact.
In this highly digital and connected age, we have to ask ourselves an important question:
How can we develop a healthy use of technology so it enhances our productivity and wellness?
On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and more with the team from Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews. We touch on great topics such as the future of group exercise, the benefits of getting in nature, and how to increase our emotional intelligence.
