20 Ways to Reconnect to Yourself When You Disconnect from Your Devices
This is what unplugged looks like! She is four years old and has walked into the water spontaneously because something deep inside compelled her to. Her curiosity and inner wisdom whispered this idea to her and told her that it would be good. When she got far enough in she opened her arms and began to sing. She sang a song to the lake that she had never sung before, that no one had ever sung before. Her voice floated on the waves and drifted in the wind and fluttered in the leaves of the nearby trees. She became one with herself and the lake and the sky.
This is the magic of unplugging. When we disconnect from our devices we can reconnect to ourselves. Celebrate National Day of Unplugging by reconnecting to yourself and your loved ones in any of these 20 Ways. (Or create your own!)
