During the gathering, Sheikh Mohammed highlighted how the spirit of Ramadan has inspired core Emirati values while promoting peace, co-operation, and support for those in need.

Also on Monday, Sheikh Mohammed presided over the swearing-in ceremony of 34 new judges appointed to the Dubai Courts, wishing them success in fulfilling their responsibilities and emphasising their role in enhancing the standards of Dubai’s judicial system. He also highlighted the vital role judges play in upholding fairness, protecting society, and maintaining the rule of law.

Three ways to limit your social media use

Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.

1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.

2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information. 

3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.
