At the start of 2021, after almost a year of lockdown and online living, I wrote an article about digital self-care which seemed to resonate with readers and to this day it remains one of the most popular articles that I’ve written. Now, two years on, the lockdowns have lifted but digital overwhelm and overuse remains a challenge for many of us. Therefore, in this updated and improved blog post, I explain what digital wellbeing is, why practising digital self-care is so important and 15 strategies to help you flourish on and offline.

Although technology comes with many advantages, social media and devices can be very addictive and negatively impact our well-being. If not used properly, they can impact our productivity, self-esteem, body image, mental health, sleep and sense of connection. This is why it is so important to practise digital self-care and set boundaries.
