In the digital age, treat virtual and reality as permeable layers rather than rigid opposites.Anchor yourself with physical rituals (walking, touching objects, eye contact).
Set clear time/space boundaries for screens.
Question every intense digital emotion: “Would this feel the same if I experienced it offline?”
Use tech mindfully—consume deliberately, create intentionally.
Regularly disconnect to recalibrate what feels real.
The boundary isn’t fixed; it’s maintained through conscious choice.Related reading:
