How to take a Break: Unwind & Unplug and Recharge for Recovery

"You need to regenerate your energy. Unplugging is an emotional recharge that we all need."
 
As much as I hate to admit it, there is hardly a minute in my day where I’m not using some form of technology. My phone is glued to my hand almost all day and when I’m not on my phone, I’m using a computer. 
You can’t perform at your best when you are wound up, stressed, anxious, or even tired- so taking some time away to unplug is necessary for you to be able to perform and produce big results.

Awareness: Importance of Unplugging and Unwinding

A study by LinkedIn found that 70% of professionals don’t fully unplug from work.
 
A recent study of 1,400 information workers commissioned by Microsoft found that 40% of people work outside of regular hours in a way that interferes with family time.
 
Corporate Athlete is a Great example of not allowing for recovery.
 
It's time to unplug, unwind, and recharge.
When we neglect this crucial step, we end up feeling exhausted and burnt out.

Here are some benefits of unplugging from work and technology:

  • Getting Off Your Phone Helps Your Overall Quality Of Life
  • Unplugging After Work Helps You Recharge
  • A Digital Detox Is Shown To Help You Sleep
  • Unplugging Can Make Your Interpersonal Communication & Relationships Better
  • Increased productivity when you return back to work refreshed and recharged

How to unwind from work and ensure you have time to recharge every night.

  1. Give your brain a different problem to solve. Some of us are just used to having a wired brain that needs to constantly tick. If that's the case, try putting that focus and energy elsewhere. Play complex board games, look up new recipes, or take on a new craft or home project to keep your mind busy.
  2. Sign out from any work-related accounts/Turn off push notifications. We all know what happens when you just check in on one thing and it ends up leading us down a black hole of other work tasks that can be handled the next work day.
  3. You need to create non-negotiable working hours.
  4. Rituals are POWERFUL ways to form new habits. It’s not super important WHAT you do, but you need to be CONSISTENT. You need to repeat the same actions every single day to create a neurological association that the workday is over.
  5. Get yourself out of ‘work mode’ by making a list. At the end of the day, write down everything you need to do. Give yourself permission to brain dump so it’s out of your head and won’t keep bothering you while you’re trying to unwind after work.
