Ten Minutes. No Guilt. No Noise. Just You.

It’s strange how fast we get used to being always “on.” Always reachable. Always responsible. Always needed. And before you know it, hours (or years) pass without a moment that feels like it belongs to you. Unplugging isn’t about rebellion. It’s about reclaiming.

Taking ten minutes to unplug, breathe, and just be — no screens, no noise, no guilt.

✋ Step Away — Just for a Bit


This isn’t about throwing your phone in a lake or deleting every app. This is about carving out ten minutes of your day to be unreachable — and unapologetic about it.

  • No phone

  • No notifications

  • No background noise

  • No one else’s agenda

Ten minutes. Just for you!


💭 What Happens When You Unplug:


You might feel an itch to check something. You might feel anxious, like you’re missing something. You might even feel selfish. That’s all normal. You’ve probably spent decades being needed — by family, by work, by the world. So when you stop responding to the outside for a few minutes, it feels uncomfortable.


Do it anyway.


Because on the other side of that discomfort is a moment of clarity, of calm, of breathing room.


🧩 Here’s What You Can Do in Those Ten Minutes:


  • Sit outside. Watch the trees, the sky, or nothing at all.

  • Stretch your body. Just enough to feel human again.

  • Close your eyes and just exist.

  • Or do nothing. (Yes — nothing.)

That ten minutes may be the most honest part of your day.


🧰 Keep It Simple — and Repeatable


Want to keep coming back to it? Make it easy.

  • Light a candle

  • Keep a favorite chair clear for “no-noise time”

  • Pour a drink that makes you feel grounded

  • Don’t try to be productive

You’re not checking out. You’re checking back in — with yourself.


🔗 Tools to Help You Create That Space:

If you're looking for simple ways to make these ten minutes special, I've pulled together a few of my go-to items — nothing fancy, just things that help me unplug and reset.

Final Word:


You’ve been available long enough.

Ten minutes won’t fix everything. But it’s a start, and it might just be the reset you didn’t know you needed -

  • So close the laptop.

  • Turn off the phone, and come back to you — even if it’s just for ten minutes.
