Here's How to EMPOWER Yourself to Minimize Some Health Risks

Let's review some basic ideas about health and safety.

Moderation matters. Skipping your diet and exercise schedule sometimes is  NORMAL. You're not a robot, you're a person with feelings, emotional needs, and a sense of fun. Exceptions to some rules make sense at times. Enjoy the holiday season foods and festivities without excess. You don't need to be hurting yourself.

Life is about real-time interactions and face-to-face encounters. They're meaningful in ways that online life is not. 

When you spend too much time online, you hurt yourself psychologically. Screentime even  hurts a child's physical, neurological, and emotional development.

Here's some evidence of the facts above:





As for sharing personal information about yourself or someone else via social media, know that BIG, possibly dangerous eyes are likely to be watching you. Some people want to know too much about others.








You need to moderate your online and actual behavior. You can take control of your habits and overall behavior, EMPOWERING Yourself to minimize health risks.

It feels much better to be healthier than sicker or self-harmed.

Digital Devices Endanger Children!

I've written about the problem as a medical/mental health journalist. You need to know how to be protective of your health and that of youngsters too naive or too lacking in self-control when it comes to digital device usage. Too much of it endangers health, especially that of developing brains!






I've long known about digital dangers. The Global Resources section of the FIRST EDITION Of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge listed book titles on that topic. That's why I have a landline and prefer to limit my use of a cellphone.


It's a sad statement of affairs when parents are too busy to mind their children. There is such richness to enjoy when you teach a child how to be sociable, how to master desired skills, how to love. The consequences of letting a fussy, sad, or frightened child play with a digital device when they need a parent's warm hug or assuring words is so damn damaging. If an autistic, ADD or ADHD child is pacified with devices, it destroys so much potential for their developing character.

YES, I sympathize with an adult's need to chill, to let the toy take over while mom or dad rest and recharge their own batteries. But that is a far cry from using the digital device as a pet sitter one day after the other. Children are human beings, with a 20-year lifespan to grow up. Parents are supposed to use that time building relationships, teaching the skills, etc.
