HOLISTIC WELL-BEING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Technology is integrated into every part of our lives. Its presence is all encompassing, and pervades every aspect of our lives. While technology enables our lives in so many ways it throws up several challenges too-by entering our personal space, playing tricks on our mind, impacting our physical, mental and emotional health. In fact, human life has altered beyond recognition and this digital world that we now live in is beset with the unique problems that are a result of excessive use of technology. It thus becomes imperative that we are able to tackle the paradox of technology in the best possible way. This is why it is important to aim for holistic well- being in this digital age. This paper not only analysis the paradox of technology but also highlights the inevitability of the challenges presented by the digitalization we see all around us. The paper also explores the means to overcome these challenges and attempts to create a guideline for a digital detox.
