The way COVID has stuck to our life it would be an understatement to call 2020 just another challenging year. Working from home while managing other responsibilities like parenthood and homeschooling, in particular, has made it hard to unplug & recharge yourself.
Breaks, downtime & recuperation, are some key aspects that you must prefer & practice to stay hyper-focused toward goals & manage modern life stress. It’s a time when you must split up with technology & people and invest some time in introspection, creativity, and self-care.
As we are not yet completely emerged from the CORONA & while some traveling restrictions are still in place, this year you can plan a few different ways to live that quality time of unplugging & recharging yourself.
A Tech-Free Trip
Rather than going to some foreign country, opt for a local trip to the mountains this year. Connecting with nature is something that’s an easy and effective way to get unplugged.
Renting a cabin in the remote mountains with almost no internet connectivity is what we all need at least once a year to get recharged.
Replace Phone With Books
Innovation & creativity are the crucial aspects for any businessman or entrepreneur to survive in a highly competitive marketplace. What could be better than reading something that motivates you, inspires you & brings the best out of you.
Reading good books or novels is a great way to be productive, rejuvenate your brain cells, reduce professional burnout & recharge you completely.
Meditation – optimal way to unplug & recharge yourself
Meditation can prove to be a great help to unplug and recharge during the pandemic. It’s a great way to start your day tech-free which centers your energy, cleans your mind & provides strength & courage for anything that lies ahead.
Practicing meditation on a regular basis can significantly improve both mental & physical wellbeing.
Develop a New Hobby
Developing a new hobby is effective to eliminate the work stress and invest some time into yourself. Not every hobby is a part of fun & games; some skills like reading, writing, designing, coding, etc. can keep you productive while simultaneously unplugging you from the daily tasks.
Fact is, the more time you invest in developing a hobby the more sense of purpose & achievement can be acquired.
Surround Yourself with Love & Support
There’s nothing more valuable & satisfying than being surrounded by the people who love & support you. When you spend time with those people you discover new ways to tackle everyday challenges.
Simultaneously you will see a huge decline in “screen-time” allowing you to be detached from technology and have quality time.
