Your Phone viewing Statistics

You find yourself spending way too much time on your phone. Human beings on average spend 6 hours a day looking at their phones. So on an average 25% of your life is spent staring at a phone screen. Well, let me ask you this, how many times did you blink while watching this message? The answer is zero. As it turns out, not blinking is terrible for your mental health and creativity and here is why? According to research , the act of blinking stimulates the part of our brain that produces dopamine . Dopamine is called the happy hormone. It plays a big part in our overall state of Wellbeing. So when we don't blink, we actually reduce the production of dopamine. Reduced dopamine equals reduced creativity and you feel miserable. So what you do to stay happy and healthy. It's simple - take a break, take regular breaks from your screen. Practice the 20-20 rule. Every 20 mins look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 secs. Practice meditation and activities that give your eyes and brain a break. And don't forget to blink often.
