Excessive screen time is increasing your dizziness, anxiety, and depression.

Funny enough, people are catching on to this and looking for ideas of what to do other than watching TV or scrolling on social media.

This is obviously a common challenge and this episode is coming on the heels of the one about morning and evening routines. (You’ll find the link to listen to that show below.)

So… what can you do instead of doomscrolling or binging Netflix that can also be supportive for managing your vestibular disorder? Let’s get into it!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

• Reasons why people want to reduce screen time
• How increased screen time impacts anxiety, depression, and mood
• What activities members of Vestibular Group Fit are swapping for screen time
• Ideas for how you can set up your environment for less screen time

I’ve been using my social media less and opting for more long-form content.

It is HARD to make these swaps—and—it is possible! So know I’m right there with you.
