Hey everyone, Asher Blake here and welcome back to the
Zen Edit. If you're feeling like your head's perpetually stuck
in a digital vortex spinning faster than a TikTok dance challenge,
trust me, you're not alone. We live in a world
where notifications, ping, emails demand attention, and screens are practically

(00:20):
glued to our faces. But there's this incredible, often overlooked
force that can help us find balance amidst the chaos nature.
Finding equilibrium between technology and nature isn't about ditching your
phone or becoming a digital hermit. It's about crafting a
mindful relationship with both acknowledging their power while also remembering

(00:44):
what truly nourishes our souls. Think of it like this

into Nature's calming embrace. Today we're diving deep into finding
balance between technology and nature, exploring five key takeaways that
can help us live more fulfilling lives. One digital detox days.

(01:31):
We've all been there, scrolling through social media until our
eyes feel like they're crossing. Schedule dedicated days, even just
a few hours to unplug completely. Think of it as
a mental and emotional spa day. Go for a hike,
read a book, or simply enjoy the silence. You'll be
amazed at how much clearer your head feels. Two mindful

(01:56):
tech use. We can't exactly live live in a tech
free world, but we can become more intentional about our
digital habits. Before you reach for your phone, ask yourself,
do I really need to check this right now? Most
of the time, the answer is no. Turn off unnecessary

(02:16):
notifications and schedule specific times to check emails and social media. Three.
Nature as your sanctuary. Find pockets of nature in your
daily routine. Take a walk in the park during your
lunch break, sit under a tree for a few minutes
before starting work, or simply gaze at the sky during

(02:38):
your commute. Even small doses of nature can have a
profound impact on our well being four tech free zones.
Designate certain areas of your home as technology free zones,
like the bedroom and dining table. This helps create boundaries
and encourages more meaningful interactions with Remember, dinner conversations are

Digital minimalism. It's about being intentional with what apps, websites,
and social media platforms you use. Unfollow accounts that drain
your energy or don't add value to your life. Think

(03:24):
of it like decluttering your digital space. Less stuff means
more peace of mind. Now let me paint a picture
for you. Imagine your feeling stressed from work, deadlines, looming
emails piling up. Instead of sinking deeper into the stream,
you step outside. The sun is warm on your skin,

(03:44):
birds are chirping, and the breeze carries the scent of
blooming flowers. You take a deep breath and feel the
tension melt away. That's the power of nature. It has
this incredible ability to ground us and restore our sense
of calm. This is what it can look like in
real life. Picture yourself getting ready for work. Instead of

grabbing your phone first thing, you open your window and
take a few moments to appreciate the sunrise, you notice
the colors, the sounds, the gentle breeze. It's a small change,
but it sets a more mindful tone for your entire day.
So what are some practical steps we can take today?
How about scheduling a thirty minute nature walk this week,

(04:32):
even if it's just around your block, or making dinner
tech free. Put those phones away and really engage with
your loved ones. Remember, even small changes can make a
big difference. Let's face it, finding balance between technology and
nature is an ongoing journey, not a destination. It's about
