Disconnected on Purpose: Why Unplugged Walks Are the Digital Detox We Actually Need

We hear a lot about creating a digital detox, I feel personally targeted by the Brick ads on Instagram. Often, we struggle with execution. A digital detox doesn’t always mean completely disconnecting, but sometimes just finding the moments where it makes sense to start.

I’ve been taking a lot of unplugged walks lately. I don’t have any headphones in, and I stay off my phone (or don’t bring it with me if that’s a safe option). The unplugged walks started because one morning my headphones were dead. In all honesty, this happens more than I’d like to admit 😂. It quickly taught me a few different lessons and became an intentional part of my day.
