Break free from the grind and unwind
Finished a busy day? Now's your time to relax. In today's hustle culture, stress is unavoidable–but now that we're living in the digital age, everyday problems can be fixed with new solutions or, rather, with new entertainment. Doing activities like watching your comfort show, browsing online, or tapping into mobile games, can equate to new ways of self-care. Wondering which type of stress-reliever suits you best? Let's explore the different ways people unwind. 1. Binge-watchers. Aside from releasing the feel-good chemical of our brain, dopamine, mental health experts explain how binge-watching acts as a steel door that blocks off stressful thoughts. With a variety of films and shows to choose from, binge-watching aids people in relaxation and entertainment after a long day. 2. Social Media Enthusiasts. Studies show that social media provides a space for "self-expression" in a shared community. Whether it's creating content, writing, editing videos, or curating playlists – when used mindfully – social media becomes a platform for creativity and growth. 3. Gamers. Contrary to popular belief, playing mobile games isn't as bad as we all think. Research claims that video games can relieve stress as effectively as meditation sessions. Additionally, it explains how video games provide a fun and safe outlet for developing our emotional awareness and coping skills. It may not seem obvious, but gamers also have different personalities. Dr. Richard Bartle, a renowned game researcher who wrote about player types, categorizes gamers into four personas. These are explorers, socializers, achievers, and fighters – each drawn to different kinds of gameplay. Whichever type of gamer you are, the new vivo Y29 can provide you with your mobile gaming needs. Packed with specs that place power in performance, here's what makes this phone the ideal companion for all types of gamers out there: Long-Lasting Battery and Fast-Charging Equipped with a 6500mAh BlueVolt battery, the vivo Y29 is a gaming phone that's designed to last you in the battlefield.
