Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what I think is contributing to the mental health challenges facing teenagers (and adults) that many people are overlooking.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you a practical step you can take to improve your mental health that is so easy ANYONE can do it.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
The statistics are being discussed all over the place. The number of teens dealing with mental health challenges is continuing to rise. There is talk about bullying and suicide and people are searching for an answer. There are plenty of theories out there in the world including too much time on the phone and social media. But I have my own theory—it all started with air conditioning.
We live comfortable lives with many conveniences, like air conditioning that made it possible for us to not need to go outside of our homes even during hot summer months. Before that happened it was hot inside, which pushed people outside where they came face-to-face with neighbors and friends. Now cell phone use allows us to go about our lives without really connecting with other people face-to-face. We have our friendships over social media and the number of people working from home is increasing.
And it’s not just in our homes. Even when we are with people we aren’t looking at them and conversing with them. Cell phone use at school and cell phone use at work is stealing away the time when we should be having these face-to-face connections. How many times have you been at a restaurant and noticed groups sitting at the table together but everyone was looking down at a phone? It’s an epidemic that we need to change so we can improve our mental health awareness.
In short, this video will show you an actionable way to control cell phone use and connect with others to improve mental health in 2019.
