In today’s world, it’s almost radical to step away from a screen. Our phones, watches, laptops—they’ve become lifelines, distractions, entertainment, and workspaces all rolled into one. But what if for just one hour, you unplugged from it all?

That’s your Day 14 challenge: Practice a Tech-Free Hour.

We’re not talking about an entire weekend offline (though that might be nice). Just 60 minutes of digital silence. No scrolling, no pinging, no refreshing. Just presence. Just you.

Why This Matters

Constant digital stimulation affects your attention span, increases stress, and can even contribute to burnout. We lose our sense of being grounded when we’re constantly “on.”

This hour is a chance to reconnect—with your thoughts, your surroundings, and even your breath.

Ideas for Your Tech-Free Hour

• Take a walk and notice the sounds and colors around you
  
• Sit outside and sip something warm or cold—no distractions
  
• Journal your thoughts (on paper!)
  
• Stretch, nap, clean, or just let your mind wander
  
• Read a book—yes, the kind with pages
  
• Try a simple meditation or breathwork session
  

This isn’t about perfection. If your mind wanders or you instinctively reach for your phone, it’s okay. Just notice it, and gently return to the moment.

Affirmation for the Day

🧘‍♀️ “I honor my need for rest, presence, and peace.”

Journal Prompt

📓 What did you notice during your tech-free hour? Did you feel calmer, anxious, or both? Would you do it again?

Let yourself reflect honestly. Even if it was uncomfortable, that’s information worth exploring.

Final Thought

Thriving doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means doing less—intentionally. Your time is sacred. Your attention is powerful. Reclaim it for just one hour, and you might discover a peace you didn’t realize you’d lost.
