With our tech-savvy generation, “digital addictions” seem to be at the forefront of many people’s minds. In fact, one in eight Americans suffers from problematic Internet use, according to a study published in The International Journal of Neuropsychiatric Medicine. Whether it’s extra hours spent texting, gaming or shopping on the phone or tablet, many people are finding it challenging to disconnect from their devices and to simply sit down and relax in quiet.
If you’re feeling constantly pressured to check your phone from an endless stream of alerts and banners, you’re not alone. It’s not unusual for many people to begin feeling anxious or jittery, waiting on that next “like” or “repost” to filter through your list of notifications.
Your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas could help reduce this technological stress and let you unwind in some peaceful quiet-time. Next time you’re taking a technology break, try some relaxing alone time in your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas. Leave the smartphone indoors as you head outdoors and into the fresh air for 20 minutes of mindfulness and meditation away from the hum of electronics.
If you begin to feel jittery without your smartphone by your side, a healthy option could be to grab one of your favorite books as you head out and into the spa. Perhaps you’re into a page-turning thriller, or a romantic novel – whatever the genre, allow your mind to unwind as you lounge back and enjoy the soothing massage jets of your spa.
