For my toolkit, I had to work with my same topic I am writing about for my seminar class. The topic I chose are the effects of social media on teenagers and young adults. I wanted to focus on this topic because I feel it is very relatable to not only my generation but the younger generations growing and learning the ins and outs of technology through time. With this topic, I am mainly focusing on Instagram, a photo and video sharing social network service which can be accessed on almost every technology platform. For my toolkit, I’ve included some items that will help relieve stress. Though squeezing a stress ball isn’t a long term solution for stress, it can help your body release tension in the moment. The clenching motion helps relax the muscles when you’re feeling anxious. Another tool I’ve added to my toolkit is a journal which would typically be used to write out your thoughts on your mind to relieve stress. The last item I’ve included in my toolkit is a guide book on how to be connected to the real world without technology involved. This guide books gives an introduction on how stepping outside and spending more time outdoors has been proven to help anxiety and stress. Within this guide book, there are multiple ways to get outdoors and enjoy life without technology involved and without a phone in your hand.
