Have you ever been on a ‘digital detox’? Do you think you could do it? Would you know what to do?

Well, in this episode of the podcast, Host Matthew Head is joined by Neil Jones, a coach from Lincoln, UK.

Neil has had a varied career over his life and has spent some of that living abroad in Switzerland. 

Throughout Neil’s career, Neil has become specialised in Mental Health, and more so Mental Fitness, describing mental fitness as something you do with intention so that you don’t have to treat the symptoms of mental health by preventing them occurring in the first place. 

More recently, Neil has started coaching people in Digital Detox helping people to break away from a dopamine fueled connection to our smart devices. 

Neil tells us about the time he was diagnosed with dyslexia (though it wasn’t called that back then!) and at the time was told to keep it secret so as not to get bullied about it. Though that didn’t stop the bullying! To cope with the vigorous bullying, Neil found an outlet through Judo and learning about Japanese culture, which introduced him into the concept, and life long love, for meditation. 

Neil is a Psychologist and a Chartered HR professional with extensive experience of industry and commerce. Currently assisting companies serious about Mental Health to make the right changes to improve the mental health of their staff as well as boost the bottom line.

If you want to know more Mental Health/Mental Fitness, or a Digital Detox, this is the episode for you!
