Short videos, reels, and quick notifications have changed how our brains work. They push us to react instantly rather than think deeply. Namrata Singh Chhetri, co-founder and psychologist at Mindwell Solutions, says this fast-paced digital flow tires the mind and breaks our focus. Long videos or articles allow time for thought and reflection. In contrast, short clips stimulate the brain to quickly decide if content is worth attention. This constant novelty changes how we experience time, making minutes blur while we scroll. Many people feel mentally tired even without physical work because their brains stay active, processing many little tasks at once. Chhetri explains, "Mental fatigue feels worse than physical tiredness. Every decision or focus shift uses energy. Notifications keep the brain on alert with no clear rest time." When we slow down, our nervous system switches from alertness to calm. Breathing deepens, stress hormones drop, and creativity rises. Simple actions like eating slowly, walking without distraction, or listening carefully help the brain balance emotions and reduce stress. Slowness doesn't need big changes. Small steps like pausing briefly, avoiding phone use first thing in the morning, or eating screen-free meals can help. Young people balancing digital life should set boundaries, turn off needless notifications, and choose when to engage online. Chhetri advises, "Mental energy is saved when digital tools are used consciously rather than automatically." Slowing down is more than a break — it’s essential recovery for our overworked minds in today's digital age.
