Digital Well-being is the mindful management of technology to help us be more present to the joys around us. It involves balancing our online and offline worlds to ensure that digital interactions positively contribute to our overall happiness and fulfillment.

Central to this concept is the ability to embrace JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), where individuals find joy in living in the moment and engaging with their immediate environment, rather than succumbing to the anxiety and stress associated with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which often drives compulsive digital engagement.

This approach includes regularly decluttering our digital environments, setting achievable wellness goals, and reflecting on activities that bring life and joy.

By leaning into community, creativity, and care, we can reduce reliance on technology's false promises of comfort, control, and convenience.

JOMO is the joy of missing out on the right things (life-taking things like toxic comparison, loneliness and digital drain) to make space for what matters most (the people and pastimes that bring lasting joy.)

Warm relationships are our most significant source of happiness and indicator of long-term personal and professional flourishing. (Harvard Grant Study)

Comfort, Control, and Convenience

By leaning into community, creativity, and care, we can reduce reliance on technology's false promises of comfort, control, and convenience.

People who are happiest with technology use it intentionally for creativity, connection and care

Active > Passive
Create > Consume
Together > Alone

We value things that create active engagement while challenging and building our physical and mental bodies over things done in a passive, sedentary state.

We value things that allow us to explore creativity and use imagination to construct new experiences over passive consumption.

We value each other. We choose shared experiences and connections over those activities that exclude others. We seek opportunities that bring relational health.
