The Latest Ways and Means To Treat Anxiety

April 19, 2017 by Lucilla

There are a lot of amazing things in the world today, but because of the speed of information, and the warped sense of expectation that’s flying around the modern human, all of that amazement often comes with the price of increased general anxiety. And if there’s one way to lose sight of the gratification of the pleasures of being a human, it would be that you end up anxious all the time about gaining or losing some part of your psyche.

But, technology gives us that anxiety, and then technology (and gadgets) can take it right back away. Consider methods at rehab clinics, reminders to breath, physical anti-anxiety gadgets, modern meditation techniques accessible through the cloud, and digital virtual group therapy (that almost works as the opposite of social media).

4 Ways To Reduce Stress

March 30, 2017 by Lucilla

Stress is something that arises when we feel out of control of situations and at the mercy of insecurities or worries. Stress isn’t always an indication of something actually being wrong. Often it is simply an illusion that we have created by losing touch with logic and allowing our fears to take over.

Stressing has absolutely no positive effects on your mind or your body. It is best to try to function from a place of fixing issues rather than dwelling on them. When you start to feel your stress taking over and you have a large pile of things to do, instead of giving into the feelings you are experiencing, try the following tactics and feel yourself shift to a different state of mind.

Balancing Digital Connections and Face Time With Friends and Family

October 18, 2016 by Gadzooki

family facetime

It’s a peculiar time in history to be a human, so far as the intersection of technology and connection are involved. Never has it been easier to find and keep track of friends and family, objectively all over the world, in real time. But now that the connections are available, they can seem weaker, and the distraction of constant connection also plays a role in certain types of frustration.

If you want to figure out how to have the proper balance between digital and physical contact with those closest to you, consider what defines family time, how social media related depression works, how to self-populate memories, where strong and weak connections come into play, and how much energy you should spend bringing older generations into the new flow of things.

What Defines Family Time

Especially with the prevalence of mobile phones, how do you define family time in your household? Without some sort of rules regarding cell phone and gadget use, things can and do get out of hand quickly. Parents and children stop paying attention to each other, even if they’re in the same room, which leads to long-term breakdowns in communication if the behavior goes on unchecked.

Social Media Related Depression

People who spend too much time online in social media frameworks can also run into a situation where they become depressed because it seems like everyone else has a better life than they do. This is all a construct of presentation – it’s not reality! But, if you reach an improper balance of your online and in-person relationships, you may end up assuming that you have it worse off than the average person that you see posting things in their friends’ circles.

Self-Populating Memories

One huge positive when it comes to friends and family connections so far as technology goes is the ability to self-populate photo albums for instance. By using the Facebook ‘Moments’ app, you can spend more time actually interacting with your family, as opposed to everyone duplicating efforts to make sure that everybody has the individual photos of an event that they want.

Figuring Out Strong and Weak Connections

There are different types of connections when it comes to mobile devices and digital pathways, and it’s important to distinguish between them. The two main categories are strong and weak, and the more you understand the difference between the two, the more likely you’ll find the right balance between them with respect to your other relationships as well.

Bringing In Older Generations

Older generations of people haven’t quite adopted new social technology as much as new generations have. Depending on your age and social media use, you may want to make sure that you take the time to show older people how it all works. Once your parents and grandparents understand the overall concept, it can make many different types of communication much easier.

Can You Trust Skin Cancer Detection Apps?

July 17, 2016 by Caren

Skin cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer, and if caught early it’s also one of the most treatable.

Ways to Use Your Phone To Aid in Living A Healthier Lifestyle

June 23, 2016 by Caren

With all the options that are available in the world, it can be hard to make the right decision on anything. Life used to be a lot simpler. If you needed milk, you went out and milked the cow. You didn’t have 20 grocery chains to choose from, you didn’t have 10 different brands to choose from, and you didn’t get to choose between full fat, nonfat, 2%, 1%, organic, almond, rice, hemp, or soy.

Choice in life is a beautiful thing, but when faced with too much choice, many people decide not to choose at all. They think that they can have it all. In some ways this is true, but in other ways, not so much. One part of life where this is evident is personal health. Health and food was straightforward once upon a time. You grow the wheat, you grind the wheat, you make bread and you eat it. [Read more…]
