Mental health protect karne ke important tareeke: sleep se pehle fixed screen-free time set karna, non-essential notifications band karna, comparison content kam karne ke liye feeds curate karna, scrolling ko short walk ya real conversation se replace karna, brief digital detox practise karna aur social media use ke baad apna mood notice karna. Emotional triggers ki self-awareness badhana aur offline relationships strong karna digital stress kam karne aur overall well-being improve karne mein badi role play karta hai.
