49. Need Help with Prioritizing? Conversation with Dr. Stacy Jagger on the Importance of a Digital Detox

Alexandra Alvarez | Faith-led Coach, Biblical Motivator, Christian Mentor

 In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Stacy Jagger, author of The 30-Day Blackout. We discuss and emphasize the importance of prioritizing real-life connections and minimizing screen time to create healthier, happier families.

Many of you have mentioned how difficult prioritization can be, and I believe Dr. Jagger's insights on regulating the nervous system and minimizing distractions can help you refocus and reconnect—with God, yourself, and others (starting with your family).

In this episode, we discuss:

The Importance of Digital Detox

  • Screen time addiction: Excessive screen use can lead to addiction and negatively impact family relationships and mental health.
  • Nervous system regulation: Digital detoxes can help regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
  • Family connection: Unplugging from screens can foster deeper connections within families.

Practical Steps for a Digital Detox

  • Start small: Begin with a 30-day blackout or digital detox.
  • Replace entertainment with connection: Engage in family activities and meaningful interactions.
  • Parental guidance: Parents should lead by example and implement parental controls.

The Benefits of a Digital Detox

  • Improved relationships: Stronger family bonds and reduced conflict.
  • Enhanced mental health: Decreased anxiety and improved mood.
  • Increased productivity: More focus and efficiency.
  • Regained time: More time for meaningful activities and hobbies.
