Personally, I know that I have difficulty getting off my phone sometimes and it can be frustrating when my mind wants me to be productive but my body is stuck scrolling through tiktoks. I tend to go on my phone when I’m stressed and need to be away from work and life for a while, but I promise you there are so many better things to do to keep our mind and body sharp and our heart content! Here are some ideas for the next time you don’t know what to do but know that you don’t want to be on social media:

1. Read a book
2. Go to the beach- even if it’s too cold to get out of the car
3. Call a family member
4. Facetime a friend
5. Stretch
6. Meditate
7. Workout
8. Take a walk
9. Play with your pet
10. Do a puzzle
11. Grab coffee or food with a friend
12. Put on music and just sing or dance
13. Do a paint by number (for those of us with little artistic abilities)
14. Journal
15. Rearrange your room
16. Write a letter to someone
17. Throw a football or frisbee with a friend
18. Bake or cook a special treat
19. Make a string bracelet
20. Garden
21. Sit outside
22. Nap (there’s no shame in it- sometimes your body needs to refuel!)
23. Paint your nails
24. Go biking
25. Go shopping
26. Have a lil spa day for yourself
27. Go through your closet + donate

So put your phone on silent, pick an activity or two and start working towards being a better, more productive version of yourself with me! Happy Monday 🙂
