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.

✋ 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.

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.
