Time to put the phone away

I recently wrote about how always being connected to my phone is affecting my mental health. How always being switched on to current affairs is putting me at an all time low. As this is an issue that keeps on reoccurring, rather than just write about it, I decided it was time to do something about it.

Person is holding their phone upside down. The photo has been flipped round to show the phone the right way up. The person wears black trousers and a black t-shirt. You don't see the whole of their body but just part of their arm and hand holding the phone. The background is blurred our but it looks like they are on a beach with people in the background. We see the phone from the back with the camera showing. It is a sliver phone with a clear protective case. on the case there are words with a black border and white background which say: "Social Media seriously harms your mental health".

Thoughts: When is it OK to switch off?

We are overwhelmed with bad news every second of every day; making it hard to know what to focus on.
