DISCONNECTED WINTER HOLIDAYS: HOW TO REVIVE YOURSELF THIS SEASON

Holidays are meant to be a break away from the everyday stresses of life. This can be anything from the stressors of work and family life to social media’s influence on your mental health. However, 68% of people continue to work while on holiday, and most people spend an average of three hours or more on their phones. This can make relaxing incredibly difficult, and you might not benefit from the true stress relief a holiday should give you. However, a disconnected holiday could be the answer.

What is a disconnected holiday?
A disconnected holiday is a rest away from technology, as part of a digital detox. There are multiple reasons you might consider this, including boosting mental well-being, connecting with friends, family, and nature, as well as allowing you to truly experience all a holiday has to offer without the interruption of a phone screen.
