Be Kind To Yourself And Take A Tech Break 

In today’s society, technology and social media are integral to our daily lives. We count on technology for communication, work, and entertainment. However, constant use of technology and social media can lead to burnout, stress, and anxiety. It’s important to unplug from these distractions and take time for self-kindness. 

Taking a break from technology and social media can help us reconnect with ourselves and our surroundings. It allows us to be present in the moment and fully engage with our environment. It can lead to increased creativity, improved mental health, and better relationships with those around us. 

To unplug, set aside specific times during the day to disconnect. Take a walk outside, read a book, or spend time with loved ones without distractions from technology. During this time, focus on self-care activities that make you feel good, such as practicing mindfulness or taking a relaxing bath. 

In conclusion, unplugging from technology and social media can be a great act of self-kindness. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves and our surroundings, improving mental health and better relationships with others. Try setting aside time each day to unplug and focus on self-care activities.

He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
