Do your devices make your life #easier or #morechallenging? Have you ever just wanted to be device-free? You have a plethora of “smart” devices and apps that facilitate your life’s work, keep you on track and on time, turn on the lights and TV, and shut them down. Wouldn’t it be great if you had an app or device that allowed you to master self-care the smart way?
As a business owner, employee, consultant, or student, you work long hours and probably take little time for yourself. The time is now to get “smart,” and start by forming a digital detox (yes from those amazing devices and apps that you cannot live without).
The power of five Try these five easy steps to regain your time and energy, while getting “smart” about self-care:
Think about the communication tools you use and select one! Then, request your clients to use that tool to communicate with you.
Set parameters for time online; you do it for your kids, and you should do it for yourself.
Schedule breaks for yourself; even 15 minutes per day will make a huge difference in how you feel and your performance.
Add mindfulness to your routine while walking and eating.
Make a gratitude list; think about people, places, and things that bring you joy.
