This session aims to equip participants with practical strategies and insights to foster a healthier relationship with social media and digital technology. We explore recent research in neuroscience at the intersection of topics such as mindfulness, setting boundaries, managing screen time, and cultivating genuine connections in a digital landscape. Through interactive discussions, reflection excercises, and practical tips, attendees will learn how to harness the benefits of social media while mitigating its potential negative impacts on our wellness. The goal is to empower individuals to use social media mindfully, promoting greater balance, self-awareness, and overall wellness in our online and offline lives.
