Digital detox, technostress, sensory stimulation, grounding, engagement, flow.

The use of digital device and screens is omnipresent and incessant. This is impacting human wellbeing in various ways. There is a dire need to find ways to balance digital device usage. The traditional digital detox approach focuses only on digital fasting. Digital fasting is difficult as humans depend on these devices for work, education, safety, travel etc. This paper proposes innovative approach to digital detox. Instead of digital fasting, adding sensory and non-screen activities to daily schedule would restore and maintain well-being. This paper explores a new model - “Rekindle” for sustainable digital detox. The model is based on the rationale that continuous use of digital devices and screens leads to activation of sympathetic nervous system whereas sensory activities stimulate parasympathetic nervous system. In the model, there are three sensory activity levels which create respective mental states. First level is isolated sensory stimulation activity which leads to mental state of “Grounding”. Second level is multiple sensory stimulation activity that results to the mental state of “Engagement”. Third level is sensory stimulation and creation activity that leads to mental state of “Flow”. To validate the model and provide empirical support, thorough data gathering that includes both qualitative and quantitative elements is essential.
