Managing Your Stress During the Holidays and Beyond: Tip #5 – Unplug the Technology

Despite popular belief, the world will NOT end if you turn off your phone(s), computer, television, and other electronic devices to enjoy some real human interaction. Even if all you do is spend some quiet, uninterrupted time with yourself and your thoughts, it will be well worth it.

While technology has its place in our day-to-day lives, it can interrupt the joy of the season. Do yourself a favor and step away from the technology, if even for just an hour or two. Read a book, take a walk, cuddle in front of a cozy fire, sip some hot tea or cocoa. And enjoy!
