Healthy New Year’s Resolutions: Unplug daily

Thanks to modern electronics, we’re tuned in 24/7 and more stressed than ever. Not to mention a growing body of research finds that media overload can increase your risk for depression, social anxiety, job burnout, and even weight-gain.
Spending an hour, a few hours, or a full day without your phone, computer, or games. Can feel tough at first, like you’re missing out on phone calls, important texts or emails. However, time away from these devices can help with sleep, personal and professional relationships, even boost energy and give kids and teens time to be creative.
