Why Is Digital Resilience Important?
It's important to realise when the balance has shifted and going online is not making you feel supported, empowered and happy. Digital resilience gives you the ability to recognise when going online is having a negative impact.
Build a support network
Reach out to someone and support others too. A problem shared is a problem halved. Find useful sites or organisations who can help. It's good to have a variety of people and techniques that you can turn to.
Give yourself a break
Nobody is perfect and can make mistakes. Be kind and fair to yourself. Try to resolve any conflicts you may have with people online. Take some time offline if you want to.
It's good to think and talk about how going online makes you feel.
Lifestyle Changes
Make time for things and people that make you happy. Seek out new experiences in life and challenge yourself. Life can be hectic. Find ways to help you relax.
Physical Health
Eat 3 healthy meals per day. Put your devices away at night to get a good night's sleep. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night. Get some exercise, be active. Aim for 60 minutes of activity per day.
