Digital Detox for Your Soul: Reclaiming Peace from Online Anxiety & Overwhelm
Are you constantly overwhelmed by your phone, social media, and the 24/7 noise of the digital world? In this episode, Elisha — counselor, author, and host of Elisha's Space — explores how digital overwhelm is affecting not just your mental health, but your soul.
We'll unpack three ways constant digital consumption is silently harming you (identity displacement, attention fragmentation, and compassion fatigue) and three faith-based, clinically-grounded practices to begin reclaiming your peace: The Sacred First Hour, The Intentional Scroll Audit, and The Sabbath Screen Rest.
This isn't about throwing your phone away. It's about choosing what you let into the garden of your soul.
