6. The earliest coloring book was made in 1879. Crayons and other coloring
supplies weren't yet known, thus painting was the primary technique they
employed. Coloring books have improved since then and are now
acknowledged as being appreciated by both children and adults.
7. Holding a book in your hands is an excellent approach to relieve stress and
avoid the radiation produced by technological devices. It has been proven
to promote tranquillity and physical comfort. In addition to enhancing sleep,
this can lower physical discomfort, heart rate, respiration, melancholy and
anxious feelings, and stress.

8. A 2018 systematic review found that excessive social media use can cause insomnia,
anxiety, and difficulties falling asleep, all of which can harm overall health and wellbeing.
The amount of time that users spend on social media platforms can also have a
significant impact on their physiological health.
9. Coloring can help to soothe your brain's fear center, the amygdala. By reducing the
number of thoughts that race through an anxious mind, it contributes to the same state
that meditating provides. Coloring is more than just a fun exercise for leisure.

overall health, so a few digital detox techniques can be a good starting point for
(re)calibrating and finding balance.

online and to check your phone when there is no legitimate reason to do so.
Every behavior is trainable, so continue reading our digital detox
recommendations to reduce your internet addiction.
