Mental Health

Even though social media has given us many opportunities to be in contact with friends and family, it has sometimes been a source of discomfort to ourselves for comparing our lives to others, making us feel at a disadvantage about our own lives and circumstances.

Solution:

I consider that it is a good idea to think about our personal goals and do something about it, not only waiting for things to happen. Working for what we want and enjoy the process too.

Physical Health

Digital media has had a huge impact on my life. Using a laptop many hours a day because of the virtual classes resulted in me wearing glasses. The problem was that I was off the virtual classes and then I used another screen for social media for a long time.

Solution:

I started listening to podcasts on social media instead of looking at the screen. This was an excellent idea because not only did I prevent my eyes from being more damaged, nut also practiced English in a very nice way.

Spiritual Health

Even today, I can't find a way to use my devices to help me to have a healthy life. It has been the source of many different pieces of information to do many activities I hadn't known about and for me, it has been more than it is.

Solution:

Stop using the internet as a placebo and use it for more productive activities. I recently discovered a website about DIY for clothing and it has become a very rewarding habit.

Social Health

As far as I'm concerned I have a good relationship with myself, but as a result of that my interaction with other people different than my family has reduced considerably. I may have focused only on myself and I have neglected many different aspects of my life.

Solution:

Create situations in which is possible to reconnect with my friends. Socializing makes people aware of different points of view and perspectives. In the end, there is a possibility that one of those relationships creates a connection for a future opportunity.

Intellectual Health

I try to be a role model for my students by not using my mobile phone during classes. Even though it doesn't always work, I have to say that it's rewarding to see students who try to do the same. I understand that being digital natives it's a bit too much to ask for such a thing, but most of them understand my point.

Solution:

Show the students the benefits of using the mobile phone in a better way to enhance their learning process. If we show them the tools, they will be able to make the most of it.
