vlog: off grid for 72 hours, digital detox & being intentional with my phone

Stay at an Off Grid Cabin in the UK with me (Unplugged Rest, Margot Cabin in Herefordshire) for 72 hours & how I'm going to be more intentional with my phone moving forward... READ FULL DESCRIPTION ⤵
---------------------------------------------------
Ahhh, we honestly had the best time at Unplugged (thank you for inviting us). If you've been thinking about doing a digital detox and going tech free for a long weekend (or even just a day) I seriously recommend it. It's amazing what clarity it can bring after such a short amount of time.
As I mention, I'm only 5 days into this new existence where I'm trying to be more mindful and intentional with my phone, but so far it feels good to reclaim some of the time I would have otherwise spent scrolling.
(didn't mention this in the vlog, but I have a new found love for Scrabble and I've been hunting around my local charity shops since we got back to start playing at home).
thank you for watching my loves, see you in the next video!
Love & gratitude,
Jodie x

Unplugged sounds like my idea of heaven! Last year I had a boundary where I did social media free weekends and used to feel so much calmer, thanks for reminding me, I think I will pick it back up again. I have gone on social media detoxes but find them unsustainable so the weekends off felt manageable. Also recently found myself mindlessly scrolling and almost trying to find a reason to use my phone? And sitting scrolling it in the evening, but tonight I didn’t do that and got straight into my bedtime/unwind routine and felt so much better! I hope you find balance and what works for you when it comes to screen time. Also wanted to say thanks for your content, only just really found your account but really feel a lot of resonance with what you say 💕

It was heaven, despite being so simple and going back to basics. I'm actually doing the same and deleting instagram and TikTok on the weekends and I'm already feeling the benefits. and YES to finding a reason to use it, since cutting down on social media I'm on Vinted or noticing browsing shops alot more, so much to unpack with it. Thank you for watching and commenting, lovely to have you here! x

really loved this, i found you from your newsletter, I'm wondering how you are going now? Which changes have stuck? Have you introduced anything new?

[@lovecornwall5512]

Absolutely love this! I’m definitely making more of an effort to be away from phone, especially with having to be signed off work due to an eating disorder and depression 😢 Thankyou xxx
