Let me know what you loved about the episode!

Do you ever feel like your mind is constantly cluttered with notifications, endless scrolling, and the pressure to always be ‘on’? In this episode, I share how taking a mindful digital detox can help you (and me!) reclaim your focus, reduce stress, and improve your mental clarity.

We dive into why screens are so addictive, the impact of digital distractions on your brain and creativity, and how constant device use can even disrupt your sleep by affecting melatonin production. I also guide you through a gentle visualisation to help you reconnect with the present moment, boost creativity, and feel calmer in your daily life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical tips to start your own digital detox, improve your well-being, and create space for focus, creativity, and presence in your life.

What you’ll get from this episode:

• Why taking breaks from screens is essential for mental clarity and focus.
• How excessive screen time affects your brain, memory, and decision-making (Loh & Kanai, 2014, PLoS ONE).
• The science behind screen addiction and why notifications trigger dopamine hits.
• How blue light impacts melatonin production and your sleep quality.
• Ways a digital detox can boost creativity, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
• Practical tips to set boundaries with technology and create unplugged time.
• A guided visualisation to reconnect with the present moment and calm your mind.
