Internet Self-Care Day
I just learned about Internet Self-Care Day – a day dedicated to prioritizing our digital well-being. While it’s essential to have a designated day to reflect on our digital lives, it’s equally important to carry these practices into our online lives every day because WE MATTER!
Protecting Your Peace Online
Our online world can be a vibrant, connected space, but it can also be a source of stress and negativity. Protecting your peace begins with setting boundaries. This might mean limiting screen time, unfollowing accounts that bring negativity, or simply taking breaks from social media. Remember, it’s okay to disconnect to reconnect with yourself.
Best Practices for a Positive Online Experience
- Be Mindful of Your Content: What you share online reflects on you. Choose your words and images carefully.
- Practice Kindness: Online interactions should be respectful and uplifting. Spread positivity, not negativity.
- Verify Information: Before sharing news or information, check multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
- Take Breaks: Constant scrolling can be overwhelming. Schedule regular breaks to rest your eyes and mind.
Navigating Disinformation and Misinformation
The spread of false information can be harmful. Equip yourself with critical thinking skills. Be wary of clickbait headlines and verify information from reputable sources. Remember, not everything you read online is true.
Spreading Positivity with Digital You Matter Cards
One powerful way to spread positivity online is through digital You Matter cards. These cards are a simple yet effective tool to let others know you care. Share them on social media, send them to friends, or use them as a digital pick-me-up.
