Switching Off My Phone On Saturday Night For My Digital Wellness
Everyone has something he/she does to maintain his/her digital wellness. The world is digital, and I can't do without going digital. I spent more time with my phone than anything in this world.
Saturday night is a special time for me to enjoy myself; I switched off my phone most times when I hangout with friends or went out alone, and sometimes my phone is not switched off. I used my phone to take pictures when I went out.
The reason I switched off my phone whenever I go out is for my mind not to think about my phone. Since the phone is my hand, I must use the phone to do something. That was the reason I preferred to switch off my phone.
I love going out on Saturday nights because I work from Monday to Friday. The best place I spent my Saturday night was GLX.
GLX is a restaurant that specializes in different kinds of meals and drinks.
The reason I love GLX is the way they set up the place; and I do get most of my favorite drinks such as fruit juice and holandia yogurt. I love yogurt so much!
I met people of my age, the place is always occupied by adults of 15-33 buying food and drinks.
I don't only go to GLX on Saturday night but also other days I feel like going.
Why Do I Prefer GLX?
It is very close to my house: GLX is very close to my house, it is trekkable to my house. I don't like to go long distances, I like close by places. I love a place that is not far from my residence.
Friends: The first time I went there, I met someone and since then we have been friends. She's nice and beautiful! We called each other to meet in the restaurant; we discussed life , goals and careers. I always like to be with her because she isn't the type of lady waiting for men to pay her bills. She paid my bills in the restaurant and I paid her bills. She is fun to me and I'm fun to her. She makes me happy and smiles; I love to hangout with her.
Very decent place: I have visited many hotels and big restaurants, some of those hotels were not good for me. There was a restaurant I visited, I couldn't eat because of the fight between two customers. I have never encountered such a thing in GLX.
I love flowers: The place was designed by artificial flowers. Due to my love for flowers, I love to see those flowers.
It is not a noisy place: It is the best place to cool my head down, relax and enjoy myself. I don't like noisy places.
Why do I take Digital Wellness Seriously?
To prevent eye problems : There was a time when I had eye problems- blurred vision and itching eyes.
Thanks to my doctor who prescribed a drug for me; He also told me to stay away from too much brightness, reduce blue light, use night mode, adjust screen settings and put my phone away for a few minutes.
To avoid shoulder pains: It is happening to me everyday! I feel shoulder pain. I researched about the possible solution to it, and I read that exercise is good.
I do indoor exercise every morning and I'm very relieved. Though, I still feel a little pain but I'm getting better.
To prevent back pain: sitting for hours and working on a PC, phone or tablet could be detrimental to one's health. People who are working on a computer for hours could have back pain and the best solution is to stretch yourself, stand up for a few minutes and work in the office, and exercise. This is what I do to prevent myself from having back aches.

Being honest with myself, it's much easier to take some time off from my phone and laptop when they are turned off, just like you. And, yes, reading mode/night mode helps at night.
yeah! it is very good strategy to prevent your eye from too much of light entring it
