In today’s world screens are everywhere: on our phones, computers, TVs. We are constantly connected, yet many of us don’t stop to think about how this constant screen exposure impacts our mental and physical health. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the effects of screen excess and how we can manage it to lead healthier, more focused lives.
Dr. Trish Leigh sheds light on the significant consequences of too much screen time. She explains that when we’re in front of a screen, our brains are bombarded with energy at 60 Hertz, which is way faster than our brain’s optimal focus frequency of 12 Hertz. This mismatch causes mental fatigue, leaving us feeling wired yet exhausted. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, depression, decreased attention, and even physical issues like tech neck.
But here’s the good news: You have the power to reverse these effects. It all starts with raising awareness about your screen habits.
Screen Time Is Rewiring Your Brain
When you spend hours in front of screens, your brain is bombarded with energy it wasn’t designed to handle. This leads to:
- Mental Fatigue: Feeling tired but wired.
- Anxiety and Depression: A lack of focus and emotional imbalance.
- Decreased Attention Span: Struggling to concentrate on simple tasks.
- Physical Strain: Issues like tech neck and poor posture.
If left unchecked, screen excess can derail your productivity, health, and overall happiness.
How Can I Limit Screen Excess?
Dr. Leigh’s proven strategies can help you reset your brain and regain control. Follow these steps to start making changes today:
- Assess Your Screen Time: Start by assessing how much time you’re spending on screens. Add up the hours spent on your phone, computer, and TV. Reach out to our team and get a qEEG brain map to pinpoint exactly what needs to change.
- Limit Multitasking: It’s easy to fall into the trap of having multiple screens open at once. But Dr. Leigh emphasizes how this overload creates a “milkshake” effect in your brain, overwhelming your capacity to focus. Try focusing on one task at a time for better results and less mental exhaustion.
- Get Outside: A 15-minute walk in fresh air can clear your mind, restore focus, and refresh your body. Make it a priority to step outside and disconnect from screens every hour or so.
- Create Screen-Free Routines: When your workday ends, signal to your brain that it’s time to unwind. Close all your devices and engage in activities to connect with your mind and body, whether it’s reading or simply being present in the moment.
