We’re living in a world where it might be hard to find time away from a screen given all the time we’re spending at home. We’re giving you five easy ways to unplug from technology and take a break to appreciate the world around you. With these simple steps, unplugging is a great way to relax and reset to handle anything life throws at you.
Remember that work will always be there but your mental health needs to be a priority. Showing up as your best self means reserving the mental capacity to think clearly, making unplugging from time to time a necessity.
Get a hobby that requires you to go outside
We get it, we’ve all been taking tons of walks in quarantine. However, there are a lot of fun hobbies that many have come up with during this time, including roller skating and gardening. Take this time to find something that entertains you while also getting you out of the house – just make sure you wear your mask!

One of the most important parts of unplugging is finding the time to get right with yourself. Meditating is one of the best ways to do this, and it doesn’t have to be alone either. You can download some great apps like Headspace or Calm to guide you through meditation and make the practice less lonely as you clear your mind.
