5 reasons to put your phone down in February
Do you ever think about how different life was before mobile phones?Having to call someone's house phone to get hold of them. Or agreeing a place and time to meet someone, and hoping they turned up!Nowadays, where our phones are often 'glued' to our person at all times, it's easy to forget the value of truly unplugging.That's why today, I'm inviting you to explore the concept of a digital detox.It's more than just a break from screens - it's a journey towards improved mental and physical health.Here are my top 5 reasons digital detox can be incredibly beneficial:1. Reduced Stress: It's no secret that constant notifications and social media can increase stress and anxiety.Stepping away from screens gives your mind a much-needed break, leading to a more relaxed and calm state.2. Improved Sleep: Screens emit blue light that can disrupt your sleep cycle.By reducing screen time, especially before bed, you can enhance the quality of your sleep, waking up more refreshed.Who knew that staring at a bright light could impact your sleep, hey?3. Increased Productivity: Without digital distractions, your focus sharpens, allowing you to accomplish tasks more efficiently.A digital detox can help you manage your time better and boost productivity.4. Enhanced Relationships: Less screen time means more quality time with loved ones.It strengthens connections and fosters more meaningful interactions.5. Sparked Creativity: A break from digital consumption allows your mind to wander and explore new ideas, fostering creativity.But I get it, actually doing a digital detox is way harder than thinking about doing one. Here are my top tips for actually making it happen:Set specific times daily for a screen break, like during meals or before bedtime.Designate tech-free areas in your home, such as the bedroom or dining room.Replace screen time with activities like reading, walking, or a hobby (easier said than done if you've got kids, I know).Utilise apps or device features to monitor and limit your screen time.Remember, it's not about cutting off technology entirely, but about finding a healthier balance. Even small steps can make a significant impact on your wellbeing.Combine that with a healthy spine, and you're onto a winner.

Hey , If you’ve spent any time around me. Or read any of my emails. You’ll have heard me say 3 magic words… In fact, I don’t know for sure if I talk in my sleep. But if I do, I’ve got no doubt I’d be saying: “Lotion is motion.” If I was a spine-adjusting superhero, it would definitely be my catchphrase. But what does it actually mean? It's no secret that our bodies are designed to move. Yet, in a world increasingly inclined towards sedentary lifestyles, we often forget the power of motion.  But here are 5 reasons why integrating movement into your daily routine is critical to your health: #1. Boosts Mental Health Regular physical activity is a natural mood enhancer, helping to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. It's like nature's antidepressant - without the side effects . #2. Enhances Joint Health Movement helps maintain joint flexibility and can reduce pain and stiffness. If you’re focusing on improving your spinal health, regular motion will ensure that your bac...
