Various studies show that unplugging from technology can do wonders for your interpersonal relationships and in-person communication. It encourages you to connect with others off screen and to compose your thoughts, instead of relying on a text-based medium.
Here are a few benefits to unplugging from technology:
Reduce stress – Both your brain and your body need to recover from your day at work. Being “on” 24/7 isn't healthy for your mind, body or spirit. Take time to reconnect with yourself by unplugging from work-related technology after work hours.
Reduce anxiety -Taking a break from technology allows us to disconnect from the constant demands of work and social media.
Enhance social connections- Unplugging allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and engage in activities that promote social interaction
Unplugging after work allows the brain to relax and recover from a busy day. It helps to take a step back and rest up.
When it's time to go home, resist the temptation to check email. There may be special projects/situations that require your attention after normal hours, but it shouldn't be habitual.
By disconnecting from social media, you take away the distraction. Instead of spending your time scrolling mindlessly, you can focus on your work or other daily tasks. With your mind able to put all its focus on your work, you will be more productive.
The need to be constantly connected boosts the production of stress hormones, which can increase the risk of depression. Leaving social media decreases this risk while enabling feelings of focus and calm. Another benefit may be a boost in sleep and academic performance.
Taking the time to unplug from technology can do wonders for your mental health and your physical health. Put yourself first and do something that makes you happy, without constant interruptions.
Try to unplug slowly step by step and enjoy the benefits of happy and healthy life
