Whether you have social media anxiety, insomnia or are just terrified by the idea of brain rot, you need a way to de-stress that doesn't involve a screen, especially when many of us stare at one all day for work or school."
"But you might not realise how easy it is to incorporate it into your everyday life after all, at its core, mindfulness is just about keeping yourself in the present moment. So to help you do just that, I've compiled a list of screen-free activities to help you clear your mind, get outside (if the weather allows) and be more mindful, without meditating."

Screen-free methods are needed for de-stressing after long daily screen exposure at work or school. Mindfulness involves keeping attention in the present and can reduce anxiety and improve concentration. Mindfulness can be incorporated into everyday life without formal meditation. A list of screen-free activities can help clear the mind, encourage getting outside when weather permits, and promote mindful presence. Gardening is highlighted as a therapeutic activity combining contact with nature and hands-on tasks like planting, pruning and weeding. A three-month vegetable seed subscription delivers seasonal seeds with tailored growing instructions.
