It's day 21! We are almost done! This one may be hard. Try to do a digital detox. This can be for 15 minutes or longer. Pretend it's the 80's! I may be dating myself but this was before we had all of these gadgets and gizmos. Take baby steps, set a timer for yourself and go for a walk or journal. Call a friend or read a book.
The world will still keep going if you're not online! Trust me! Our brain takes a dopamine hit from being engaged with our devices so to fill that need we are constantly on our electronics. While these have a good purpose and can be handy they can also be stressful as we compare our lives to those seemingly perfect lives of social media. Or we are checking our subscribers, Likes, views, and so on. Step back today or try this on the weekend!
Start by:
Setting a Digital Wellbeing setting or Do not disturb.
Put your devices away for 5 minutes
Have a designated place where your phone stays when you walk in the door at the end of the day and don't check it. (We still have a landline so we can get old school calls)
Use this time to get outdoors, have conversations with your family or to reconnect with hobbies!
Take small steps! Let me know how this goes for you!
