Unplugging is Important
Having a brain that can’t seem to shut off is a daily battle for many. We want to unplug and disconnect, but often find ourselves unable to do so. Vacations are rarely better, often pushing us to stay on the go, leaving us feeling stressed and run ragged. Many of us are still working on vacation, checking email and responding to messages, ensuring we can never truly relax.
Before you plan your next trip, make it a point to plan an unplugged vacation. Your brain will thank you.
What Do you Mean--Unplugged Vacation?
Taking a break from technology can be challenging, especially if you take working vacations. Studies have shown that disconnecting offers a wide array of benefits. Put down your phone and ignore those emails. If you’re looking for a different sort of vacation, it’s time to unplug.
Unplugging on vacation allows you to:
- Be more present
- Get away from everything
- Improve your fitness
- Spend time in nature
- Bond with your family
