If you want to relax, take a warm bath with therapeutic salts or herbs, and add an aromatherapy element with a scented candle, diffuser, or luxe body oil. Make a healthy snack and enjoy it while you do some journaling. Try a gentle self-massage with a foam roller, massage device, or even a tennis ball.
If you prefer to be more active, apply a muscle rub or CBD serum to your neck, wrists, and back (to address all that time spent on your phone and at your computer), stretch, and then go for a walk or hike. I tend to hunch over while typing, so I like to undo some of that with heart-opening yoga poses and stretches.
Maybe a beauty regimen is in order! Personally, I love taking some time to do a complicated (but incredibly enjoyable) at-home facial or a nourishing manicure complete with nail art. Aromatherapy and relaxing music work well here, too.
But probably the best thing to do during a digital detox is to get outside because connecting with nature and getting some natural sunlight is key. Luckily, there are plenty of options for outdoor self-care for everyone. Go on a run, hike, or walk. Sit and meditate. Practice yoga or Pilates, which is also great for the wrists and tech neck.
