Social Media and ADHD – Turning Distractions Into DirectionsGrant Crowell
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD.) In today’s hyper-connected internet and Social age, many of us are showing increasing symptoms of “Virtual ADD:” easily distracted, expected to multi-task more than ever before, and experiencing greater difficulty to focus long-term and prioritize. Without having the important social cues we have to work with from being in person with each other, oftentimes our online networking and relationships create big mis-communications, social fax paus, and unintentional impressions of being inconsiderate to other people’s feelings.
Compounding on the problem, both academics and behavioral psychologists that specialize in emotional intelligence, along with ADD psychologists and coaches, lack the serious expertise and personal experience needed to cover the effects of social media on people dealing from ADD: both “virtual” and genetic.
ADD is not a deficiency in a person. Honed right, it can be an incredibly special gift. But today’s understanding of how social media affects ADD, and vice versa, has huge gaps in research.
What we need today is a new type of learning: education and training from professionals with technical and communications know-how in Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, OkCupid, and many more of the online communities we spend out time in building relationships, both personal and professional. They understand people in the organic sense and the virtual sense, and understand how we are evolving like technology, and how to bring us back down to earth and make us mindful of social context, and of each other, for personal happiness and professional success. These are the new “Social Stylists.”
Learn from this presentation:
• The connection between Social Media and ADD/ADHD, and vice versa.
• How professionals in social media and other Internet communications can master “Virtual ADD” and still stay focused, organized, and effective with their responsibilities, both professional and personal.
• Social Media, and other jobs and responsibilities perfect for ADD/ADHD people.
• Tools and tips for how to manage ADD/ADHD for a happy and successful, per-fessional life.
• How to use distractions to your creative advantage, and how to set realistic systems in place for shutting them off. (Including constantly checking email and one’s social media walls.)
• How to learn the hard-to-find social cues in digital media, and make more thoughtful communications that lead to less misunderstandings, and better relationships.
• Stories from successful per-fessionals who mastered their own ADHD.
Qoo qoo using Social Media for Market Researchitsqooqoo
This document discusses using social media effectively in regulated industries like healthcare while following rules and guidelines. It recommends starting with listening on social media to understand discussions rather than immediately engaging, as listening poses minimal risks. It also suggests developing internal social media policies to guide appropriate use and address roles, risks, and benefits. The policies should cover listening to social conversations, understanding what is said, and engaging appropriately when needed. With proper guidelines and an initial focus on listening, companies can benefit from social media while avoiding issues from improper use.

The impact of social media on body imageMelanoHope
Social media can negatively impact body image and self-esteem. Constant exposure to edited images of idealized bodies on social media leads many users, especially teenagers and young women, to develop negative self-perceptions and mental health issues. Specifically, frequent social media use encourages unrealistic comparisons to others, promotes unattainable beauty standards, and can enable cyberbullying. However, maintaining a healthy relationship with social media through strategies like digital detoxes, curating positive feeds, and seeking help for severe issues can mitigate these negative effects.
This document provides a series of prompts to guide breathing and meditation exercises. Each section begins with an "Inhale" and "Exhale" instruction paired with a short biblical verse or affirmation. Examples include "Inhale: Humble and gentle One, Exhale: you are rest for my soul." and "Inhale: True Vine and Gardener, Exhale: I abide in You." The prompts are intended to help the reader find peace, strength, and feel God's love and protection. At the end, there is a reflection on checking in on one's mental and emotional well-being, followed by a prayer. Overall, the document aims to support spiritual well-being and
The document discusses the concept of online identity and how people present themselves differently online than in real life. It notes that online identity is a carefully crafted presentation of oneself to online communities. It then discusses some statistics about increasing internet and smartphone usage globally. The rest of the document discusses issues like selective self-presentation, impression management online, comparing one's own life to others' online, and strategies to combat social media depression like practicing gratitude and focusing on what you have rather than what others present online. It emphasizes setting boundaries with one's online identity and sharing information smartly.
The document discusses coaching for expats and spouses. It defines coaching as a human development process focused on the present and future, not the past. Coaching can help people reach goals faster, be more satisfied in life, and deal with issues limiting satisfaction. Coaching for expats focuses on career matters, while coaching for spouses focuses on life issues. The coaching process involves individual meetings by online media. Coaching may help with objectives, self-awareness, and satisfaction, but results are not guaranteed. Expats and spouses face challenges in adapting to new cultures and maintaining relationships. About 1/3 of expatriations fail due to cultural adaptation difficulties or family issues. Coaching can provide support during international moves.

This document discusses the importance of personalization and understanding audiences on a deeper level. It argues that traditional segmentation methods are not enough and personalization should go beyond demographics. Effective personalization requires understanding motivations, needs, values, attitudes and behaviors of audiences through qualitative research. It also stresses that companies should view their offerings from the perspective of the audience and understand how the offerings fit into audiences' lives. Taxonomies need to be as deep as the understanding of audiences and content should supplement discussions important to audiences.

Understanding our previous, present and future relationships and behaviours with a higher intelligence may yet help us create a more accountable and holistic framework for Ai as echoed by the WEF.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Maintenance of one’s personal Mental and Physical
Well-Being.
Maintenance and belief around one’s own value/s and
dignity including Self-Esteem.
OPEN & AWARE: The ability to recognize and honor
when you need to set boundaries within yourself and
with others to maintain healthy Well-Being.

inner balance.
Frameworks that help:
ACT MODEL - Open, Aware & Active
Positive Psychology
4. Radical Self-Care to be
Soul Savvy
• Self-care is learned, purposeful and continuous.
• In philosophy, self-care refers to the care and
cultivation of self in a comprehensive sense,
focusing in particular on the soul and the
knowledge of self.
The positive effects:
Richer connections, creativity, willingness,
empathy, worthiness, acceptance, understanding
Where your thoughts are not reality (Fused-ACT)
5. So why is more
important now
than ever
before?
• The new challenges that we are facing from Technology and
the state of the world are effecting:
• The way we communicate and interact in every domain of our
lives is changing due to the constantly evolving technology.
• Our social intelligence and skills in how we interact human to
human.
• Considerations:
• Will the rise of technology gradually change our values and in
the process change our own feelings of self-worth?
• Therefore practicing RSC can provide healing not only to
ourselves, others but also to our planet we all share
6. Mental Health +
Well-Being
non-digital
• Are these the same thing?
• How would you define each of
these?
• Do you feel that you have a good
awareness of your mental health +
well-being and if so how do you
manage both?
7. DEFINING WELL-BEING AND
MENTAL HEALTH the differences
(Non-Digital)
• Are related but should be considered as 2
different concepts.
• Mental Well-Being:
• Having a sense of self and the ability to be
adaptable to live our lives as closely as
possible to the way we want to.
• To have positive relationships, promote
healthy living and feel life satisfaction.
• Our sense of wellbeing is affected by how we
might feel about something we do or the
relationships we have.
• Frameworks in Positive Psychology are known
to reflect the various elements of wellbeing.
• Mental Health:
• Persistent and specific markers for certain
symptoms, such as depression, anxiety,
psychosis, eating disorders. That cause mental
and emotional distress and anxiety that stop
us from living the life we want.
8. What is Digital
Well-Being ?
• Is often defined as the capabilities and skills that an
individual requires to successfully make use of digital
technologies.
• Some of the elements mentioned in the JISC Elements of
Digital Well-being are:
• “The capacity to look after personal health, safety,
relationships and work-life balance in digital settings”.
• To use digital tools to pursue personal goals for health
and fitness.
• To use digital tools to participate in social and community
activities.
• To act safely and responsibly in digital environments.
• To manage digital workload, overload and distraction.
• Act with concern for the human and natural environment
when using digital tools. Awareness to your digital
footprint.
9. How digitally
distracted
are WE and
the possible
implications
• The intensive use of computer and smartphones is
training us to be ever more restless with our eyes
creating a restless and distracted mind.
• Distractions in the mind translate to micro movements
in the eyes or eyelids, and vice- versa.
• Stillness of eyes brings stillness of mind, and vice-versa.
• DD + DP are some of the reasons why our attention
span keeps getting shorter.
• Mini exercise
10. Cultivating Digital
Self-Care
Digital Resilience,
Distraction &
Regulation
• Digital resilience is part of your
personality that develops from spending
time online and facing the challenges out
there. It means you recognize when you're
at risk online and what to do.
• Digital distraction & regulation is how you
monitor and manage your time effectively
online.
11. Digital +
General
Distractibility
the impact on
Mental Health
• An inability to sustain one's attention or
attentiveness, which is rapidly diverted
from one topic to another.
• Can become of a variety of mental
disorders, as manic disorder, schizophrenia,
or anxiety states.
12. The 4D’s of Distraction & the Wandering mind
Distractibility,
Disengagement,
Disconnection,
Dissociation
All cause deficits
in our ability to
narrow focus,
broaden focus,
sustain focus,
and shift focus.
13. What are the key possible indicators of being chronically
distracted?
•?
• The implications:
• Being in fight and flight response constantly and being over stimulated.
• Non–awareness of your environment.
• Resulting in unbalanced sleep patterns.
• An increase in addictive behaviour; drugs, drink, sex, food.
• Possible isolation and difficulty in communicating your needs and
communication in general to others.
14. Digital
Distraction +
Behaviour
• Is our fear of missing out (FOMO)
changing our behaviour in other ways?
• Has the culture of instant access
undermined our capacity for patience and
our ability to concentrate?
• Whilst multitasking can be a desirable skill,
the switching between activities, and the
potential interruption of repeated
checking of devices, may be eroding our
ability to focus on a single activity.
15. The possible dangers of Digital
Distraction
Our connection with social
media throws up some very
important questions:
Why do we feel the need to
increase our frequency of
looking at social media?
Is this reflecting a lack of
connection we’re feeling in
real life? By constantly adding
images for example of
instagram? (Unless it’s
educational in some way)
Are we searching for meaning
to lead a more fulfilling life?
Are we getting lost in the
virtual reality which makes
our human connections more
difficult?
Are we losing who we are in
the process?
16. The Pro’s and
Con’s of
Instagram &
Facebook
How it might effect you and your clients:
Positives:
Can ignite inspiration, creativity towards the life we want to live.
Can be used to inform and educate.
Negatives:
Can damage self-esteem and self-worth by constant comparison
to others.
Can give a false sense of reality.
17. Data +
Behaviour
• Has the culture of instant access undermined our
capacity for patience and our ability to concentrate?
• Whilst multitasking can be a desirable skill, the switching
between activities, and the potential interruption of
repeated checking of devices, may be eroding our ability
to focus on a single activity.
• This is where the act of noticing practices in the ACT
model along with educational neuroscience can help
provide deeper insights into the areas of the brain
responsible for motivation, performance, reward,
concentration and wellbeing.
18. Some of the
new mental
health
disorders that
are arising out
of technology
• FOMO (fear of missing out) a ‘technoference
syndrome’ both feeds, and is fed by, a speeding
up of life that is being driven by digital technology
(Digital distraction).
• Waiting and fearing not seeing an email or news
story (or not seeing it promptly enough), and
missing out (even briefly) on some bit of latest
information.
• Compels an increased tendency of checking of
digital devices in the process triggering low self-
esteem, addiction, obsession, anxiety, obsessive
comparison disorder.

21. Some Key findings of the impact of Digital on the ‘always on culture’
• Almost half of 18-34 year olds said their social media
feeds made them feel unattractive.
• A study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
found that heavy social media users were twice as likely to
report experiencing social isolation.
• A link has been found between excessive social media use
and poor academic performance.
• The act of just receiving a notification, even if you don’t
reply to it, is enough to severely distract you.
22. Addressing
changing
needs: AI,
Mental Health
and the new
set of
challenges
A recent study by Baylor University (Social Science Computer Review,
22nd March 2017) revealed the following:
• "Technophobes" - people who fear robots, artificial intelligence and
new technology that they don't understand - are much more likely to
be afraid of losing their jobs to technology and to suffer anxiety-
related mental health issues.
• In it, 1,541 respondents were asked about their fears and worries
about politics, crime, natural and man-made disasters, technology,
mental health and unemployment.
• Revealing Technophobes have 95 percent greater odds of not being
able to stop or control worrying when compared to others, and 76
percent greater odds of feeling as if something awful might happen.
23. A new set of technology
related behaviors
McClure's study also found that:
Those in historically marginalized
groups -- women, non-whites and
the less educated -- report being
most fearful of technology.
Technophobes are three times
more likely to be fearful of
unemployment when compared
to others, and nearly three times
more likely to fear not having
enough money in the future.
Technophobes have 95 percent
greater odds of not being able to
stop or control worrying when
compared to others, and 76
percent greater odds of feeling as
if something awful might happen.
24. Other
FINDINGS
Regardless of whether technology might lead to certain people's jobs
becoming obsolete, the fear itself is real.
Anticipating the individual and social outcomes is a matter worth pursuing,"
he said. "If these fears are misplaced, more research needs to be done to
dispel technophobia as a legitimate social concern.
* Could this lead to more antisocial behaviour?
While a transformation would most likely be gradual, it could trigger a major social unrest
among those who are displaced from their jobs, McClure said.
People in certain occupations may legitimately fear losing their jobs to robots and
software that can work for cheaper and for longer hours than any human.
25. Some statistics +
facts on Digital
dependency,
addiction and
WHY WE NEED TO
LOG OFF TO
PARTICIPATE IN
LIFE!
• On a daily basis what’s the average amount of hours
that UK adults spend on screens?
• What’s the % of people checking facebook every 10
minutes?
• What % of UK children say that their parents spend too
much time on their mobile devices?
• How many hours do UK children spend a day on
screens?
• What’s the % of UK adults admitting their spend too
much time online?
• Who are more likely to create a smartphone addiction
men or women?
26. Impact of distraction on focus + concentration at
work
As our tech habits deny our brains important downtime, our ability for deep-
thinking and maintained focus is reducing.
Skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined as our use of technology
has increased.
Many argue that a decrease in attention span is made up by our increased
ability to multi-task. However, Research from (MIT) and others proved that
multitasking doesn’t work – because the brain doesn’t work that way.
27. Other potential dangers
Digital eye strain + FF
• Have you noticed any changes in your sight?
• Blurred vision, dry or sore red eyes maybe even
getting more headaches?
• If so you could be affected by ”digital
eyestrain”.
• Caused by focusing on harsh/bright light from
screens for too long and not blinking frequently
enough (can be worse if you wear contact
lenses).
• Mini Exercise for “Focusing fatigue”.
28. SCREENS in
bed
• 47% of adults miss out on sleep due to internet
usage.
• 95% of adults in a US study admitted to using
some type of screen in the hour leading up to
bed*. (*Artificial blue light emitting from
screens increase alertness and suppresses the
hormone melatonin by up to 22% which
negatively impacts sleep).
• 32% of adults who have binge-watched a series
at least once in the last month have missed out
on sleep as a result.
29. Digital
Dependency +
damage to the
brain
• Neuroimaging research has shown that excessive
screen time can actually damage some areas of the
brain.
• Brain Regions: Amygdala, Insula, Hippocampus,
Dorsal Prefrontal Cortex, Superior Temporal Cortex
but to name a few
• Functions/Mechanisms : Emotional processes,
impulse control, executive attention, decision making
and cognitive control.
• According to research by University College London,
media-multitasking and rapidly switching from task to
task can weaken your brain’s anterior cingulate
cortex, which is involved in high-level information and
emotion processing.
30. Finding harmony between Humanity & Connectivity Technology
Digital Distraction and
regulation
New Coping
Mechanisms for
Psychological Flexibility
& Emotional Agility
• Steven Hayes and Russ Harris describe psychological
flexibility as “The ability to contact the present moment
fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the
situation affords, changing or persisting in behaviour in the
service of chosen values.”
• ACT provides the structural model for balancing between
eastern and western paradigms.
• Noticing skills – to help with Digital Distraction and
regulation.
• Value based exercises – to re-evaluate and regulate thought
processes Fusion vs Defusion.
• Fusion= Seeing the world through your thoughts, rather
than seeing the thoughts as part of your world.
• When you see the thoughts as realities, which can create
frustration, stuckness.
• Defusion= Treating thoughts as thoughts and not realities
which creates more mobility in emotions and cognition
(thinking).
31. Digital Wellbeing &
Regulation?
Some Possible solutions
• One possible solution is already
available On apple smart phones
where you can monitor your
online screen time.
• Cultivate and re-learn time
management strategies using
effective time management tables
which can also been seen as a
behavioral analysis (ACT).
• YOGA,MINDFULLNESS,
