This Holiday Season, Connect with Your Loved Ones
The use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) can lead to addiction problems, especially among young people. ICT addiction occurs when there is compulsive behavior and we replace verbal communication with the use of electronic devices.
This holiday season, many people will not stop looking at their phones, even when they are with family or friends they have not seen in a long time. As we indicated in a post, some people suffer from Nomophobia, an irrational fear of not having their phone with them at all times.
However, during the holidays, we should try to spend less time glued to our phones and more time with our family and friends. Fight to regain control of your life. Do not let it interfere with different aspects of our lives, such as family and couple life, or social life.
Technology has become another presence at meals, dinners… we are constantly focused on it. And we disconnect from those around us. This holiday season, disconnect your phone and connect to the celebration.
Set limits on constant connectivity in order to reconnect with life. Create moments and spaces free of screens. Be connected with those we love most.
