Replace Screen Time With A Walk Outdoors —
Between 2012 and 2013, mobile screen time increased by 50 percent. In parallel, research has revealed that a walk can drastically transform a cognitively-fatigued mind: “You come back and you repeat the cognitive testing and whether it’s memory recall, target identification, or your attention overall, it’s consistently far better after having taken a nature walk.” Children who take a break from technology to play outside can better understand nonverbal cues. Today, substitute 15 minutes of screen time with a walk in the open air. Take time to look up at the sky, and tune in to all the elements of nature around you. Notice the wind, sun, trees and sky. Notice how your breath and body feel as you move. Witness how the change of scenery and pace impacts your energy, morale, and efficiency.
