Would you rather scroll endlessly for hours on social media and strain your eyes or unplug from the internet and relax your mind? For those of you who picked social media, you're in for a surprise. UAB Medicine says 60% of Americans experience digital eye strain (DES). It's a real issue. Look it up. If that isn't bad enough already, social media has negative impacts on mental health. Have you felt it? While battling trolls might be fun for some, chronic social media use can increase feelings of sadness and anxiety.
If the pandemic has amplified your social media usage, your life might feel scattered like a puzzle. If so, get a puzzle! Puzzles give you the power to solve what's in front of you. Baylor College of Medicine tells us that puzzles improve brain function. In addition to developing stronger problem-solving skills, puzzles improve short-term memory too! Who doesn't love that?
