How do I disconnect?

Take time off the internet or social media’s or even unplug ur wifi as in “disconnect & unplug” reconnect with yourself is to do the stuff u love most or too get bored bc when ur bored du might discover something new that u will like! U can even yes I know watch a show.many ppl disagree but as long as ur doing something while watching like maybe movie night or just a bath and a show I don’t see the problem! Or even read just connect with yourself again!

When I disconnect, I like to find a guided meditation and follow it. This might sound really dumb but I swear, there is a Roblox event which is a game called alo sanctuary and I swear by their guided meditations. I know Roblox is a gaming site but this game in particular has such good mediations so each night I put the three minute one and I follow that one but the 1 minute and 10 minute one are also very good, just that I want mine to be quick but not too quick, in the middle! If you don't fancy that you can always find guides meditations on YouTube or on this app itself!

You disconnect by examining the matters that ‘connect’ you. I write it with ‘’ cause i could also say ‘distract’ you. Focus and attention are linked to instinct, and deep down you always make the decision yourself.
That decision should be on the nothing when you disconnect, focussed on ease instead of excite.
It’s hard, but the only way i think:)

Heyy!! At a precise time of the day, preferably at night, turn off your cellphone, computer, ipad, everything you have that's connected to internet ; and just enjoy your night with your loved one or alone. I think it's a very important thing to do daily.

You can reduce yourself from social media; turning off notifications/putting your phone on do not disturb at a certain time or an hour or 2 before bed. You can also read a book or write in a journal or to keep you busy and off your phone before bed.

I disconnect by people is if you hurt me bad enough it's hard to trust you with my heart again. . life is full of pain and heart break . I learned that it's your choice with how you handle it your pain. How you cope.

I disconnect myself by sleeping or just keeping my phone away from me. I also sometimes have lunch or dinner with my family together to avoid my phone which most of the times helps me greatly. I usually follow a 1 hour rule at night. I disconnect with my phone by putting it on airplane mode before an hour of going to bed. This also helps me to control my addictions. Although I stopped following the one hour rule, I'll make sure to start again today. Atleast for the days my boyfriend isn't there to talk.

If u feel u need to disconnect then just turn off ur phone or internet and start working on your self, when u open your phone don't reply to toxic or people that only give negative vibes

i leave my phone on my desk which is far from my bed so I have to get out of bed to get it and I take a book with me to wind down and slowly wake up

I put my phone somewhere where I won’t use it. Put on music and busy myself with other things I need to do like cleaning, homework or reading.

You could plug your phone into a different plug in in a different room, you could put your phone on Do Not Disturb if you have an Apple phone, and you could turn off all notifications for the night.

Personally, I’ll put my phone on the charger away from me, and turn off all notifications. This way nothing can distract me and get me looking at my phone again. Another good way to do it, is put it in a separate room.

Turning off my computer and cellphone. I turn off the lights and turn on my table lamb. I turn on my air filter and read a little until I fall asleep

Disconnectimg is often really hard especially because of the "just one more" attitude. A good way I find is to just pause a video or go to your home screen and sit for a couple seconds thinking about whar good will this do to open it again vs putting my phone away and going to bed. Also using the app alarm as a reminder is quite helpful because if you click on the notification and attend to it, you're breaking the cycle of media just by going to fabulous. But I should probably take my
own advice more lol

You can disconnect freezing your social network apps, or simply put your android phone in focus mode, focus mode allows to freeze some apps

You could turn off notifications, just sit down and relax or meditate- I like to just bring myself to the present moment. You don’t have to take a long time, I don’t.

This is something that varies from person to person. For me, my phone turns on bedtime mode at 6:30 which means I can't use it anymore. At about 6, I start doing my guided mindfulness and start winding down, then I close my electronic devices and dim the lights so that my brain can start getting ready for rest after a long day. I change into more comfy night wear and wash up and do my skin care. Sometimes I put on a sheet mask. You can also put on some calming music, it helps for me. By that time its already almost 7. I take my book and read for about 45 minutes and start getting ready for bed at 7:45. I turn on my sleep monitor some sleep sounds and head to dream land!

First I plug in my phone to charge for the next day, not in the same room I sleep. Then I take a sheet of paper and write about things or tasks I have to complete tomorrow and that's it get to bed then I just sink in my thoughts about tomorrow, what I will do tomorrow to make my day meaningful.

Setting yourself an evening routine with no downtime will keep you active. Lots of downtime will lead to filling it with something easy – like your phone. Recharge your phone overnight in another room from where you sleep.

Switch off all screens & devices, reading kindles excepted (don't use tablets, the Web will suck you in) or put them out of reach.
Lower the lights, use ambient or low energy music.
Spend time just sitting and noticing how you feel, journaling, reading etc.
The point is to ditch the world outside and return to yourself.

That is a great question, because I struggle with disconnecting. I have forest app witch helps not to look at instagram or youtube. That's it. But it is still hard.

I can disconnect by thinking less relaxing focusing on myself and being really stress free forget about everything studies work and being grateful for the moment I have right now cause this might be a one time opportunity for me to just disconnect.

Try not to use your phone after a certain hour, and if that's hard for you, there are some ways of making it easier – you can put your phone in a different room, put it on silent, put it in a box, try not to use it without a specific reason if you can't not use it at all (i.e. if you want to ask a friend about an assignment for school –> you pick up your phone, text your friend, and put it back, without checking or doing anything else). This goes for other electronics too. Hope this helps!

I recommend, for something short term, a few deep breaths and maybe a few moments of mindfulness and for something longer term, getting lost in a hobby.

You can disconnect by taking 10 minutes every day to meditate stretch pray read or anything that you love that is not screens or social

You can set a reminder. A simple calendar reminder that pops up as a notification will do. That's what I do. That can remind you to stop with the blue light

I disconnect by just putting my phone on do not disturb first so you can’t be bothered with anyone and just be to yourself,and put your phone somewhere you couldn’t have a easy reach to.For example, you can put your phone in the kitchen,or tv stand.

Just feel relaxed, leave all lights switched off, feel the cold air .. know that you will have a good night sleep and wake up with so much energy and freshness. Feel your muscles relaxed wile you take a comfortable position, dont think dont use any devices just feel your breathing while your eyes are closed

I disconnect in a multiple layered process I like to unwind mainly by smoking marijuana and then listening to good music whatever I'm in

Try to focus on positive thoughts, avoid thinking about work, studies or problems.
Avoid distractions, put your phone away and close your laptop.
Try positive affirmations first (don’t use negative forms such as I will not be sad today, but flip it and think/say out loud “I will be happy today”) and then do something that inspires you and makes you feel good.
A few examples that work for me: reading a nice book, watching a mobe, baking, reconneting with nature with a power walk or simply walking to a nearby café and treating you with a sweet or a cappuccino. Focus on yourself

do something away from any kind of screens for example, go for a walk to get fresh air and to clear your mind or catch up with friends, read a book for a lil while and so much more! the possibilities are endless just do what you enjoy most (away from your phone/laptop)

I like to do other things so I that I am not on my phone/ online. For example watching films/ shows with my family toward the end of the day and reading just before bed. Try to set a time where you stop connecting and create that distance e.g. switch off your phone or leave it in another room

Set a time, a goal when you will stop using social networks and electronic devices. When you see that it's time, just click the turn off button and try to touch electronic devices again until the next morning.

I find taking frequent breaks during the day while working very relaxing. For me, it is important that these breaks consist of no screen alone time contemplating the outside through the window with a glass of water or a cup of tea/coffee or even to take a 2 min walking outside (if there is a bench nearby I would say it can be nice to go there and sit for 3/5 min). I find that having plans for after work/other daily obligations and weekends is important to restrict the amount of time I let myself work and to have a personal purpose other than career related. By having hobbies or planning certain adventures outside of work I noticed I completely free mind from the obligations. I also feel myself growing further in different skills and open-minded perspectives

You need to start simple and take small steps. I think art is the best way to disconnect. Choose an art field you love and admire and start doing it for even 5 mins a day to disconnect. You can increase the amount of hobbies and the tine you spend doing it as time goes on.

I disconnect by putting my phone down and preparing for the next day, shower, brush my teeth, lay in bed and put on my sleep music

Try to do sports or anything else that helps you ease your mind. Disconnect your phone half an hour before you sleep and disconnect for an hour on a daily notion while you do what calms you

Taking small steps, trying to go from 1 to 100 to a day is not going to work. Just better yourself a little everyday. If you can, go on no tech walks, or set time out of your day where you turn your phone, set app limits, delete social media for 1 week, you can always redownlaod it. Set moments out of your day even if it's 30 minutes with no tech. Over time your body will stop craving the technology. Sitting on our phones releases endorphins which make us happy, we have to consciously make the choice and say no for it to change. Try not using your phone for 30 minutes before you go to sleep, after a week try a little bit longer and linger and longer until it hits an hour or more

I thinks disconnecting happens best when you take your phone to another room and remember to stay clear of all other electronical devices – computer, game consoles etc. It can feel unnerving to not have something so browse and game at that time, but a way to avoid that feeling is to find something you like doing that does not require a phone. You can try playing on piano, drawing, reading, playing board games or going for a walk. Good luck on your journey!

there are many ways to disconnect, it all depends on what works for you. for example, i’m a passionate reader, so disconnecting (leaving my phone 30 minutes or more before bed) is when i read, being my habit of disconnection. disconnecting simply means separating yourself from technology/work and replacing that time with habits that relax/are enjoyed. use that disconnection to do something that YOU like (that doesn’t include blue light).

Turn of your eletric devices dont check your phone dont watch tv dont play games on your computer. Instead you could listen to relaxing music (like piano and rain), drink some tea, read a book, do some breathing exercises anything that makes you relaxed that isnt your phone 🙂

Vorbesc cu corpul meu. Pur și simplu fac asta și ma simt mai bine. Inima conteaza cel mai mult pt mine. Odihna ma ajuta sa ma regenereze și sa am o inima sănătoasă dpv medical, plămânii și creierul sunt imediat după.

Disconnecting takes will power and being aware of what you are doing. Phones are like a addiction: the more you turn off your brain and stare at it, the more you can get sucked in a wormhole of scrolling. Just turn it off.

it depend about what you want to disconnect to, if you’re talking about your Toughts I wish I knew that,I think you just should write your toughts out maybe draw them

Honestly we all know it is so hard but you just have to tell yourself it’s ok to not pick up the phone. I literally have to tell myself NO don’t touch it. And sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I put it on Do not disturb during my 2 hour workouts and I don’t scroll on any social platforms until about 9 or 10 am. After I’ve taken care of myself. My morning routine comes first. No I had to teach my self with repetition to not scroll in the morning time. It’s just a process and your probably telling yourself you can’t when in all reality you actually can you just have to believe in yourself.

First of all I think it’s important to put all your devices on “do not disturb” mode. Then maybe you should consider some guided meditation in order to be more present. And finally choose something you enjoy doing by yourself!!! Hope to have helped!!!

I make my iPhone go into night mode. I start to dim the lights around the house. I should actually put a timer on my phone to have limited access to applications

Try staying away from screens. Meditate or pick-up a book.
The key is to reduce the inflow of stimulus from outside your head. Eventually, if you are patient, the flow of information from your own head will slow down too. If you feel a bit bored means you are doing it right, don't stop there!

I usually check my devices (basically my phone) once about 15-20 minutes before i sleep and only check it the next morning / when i need to use it the next day. i realised that putting my phone away in another room further away also helps bcs out of sight out of mind!!

Find a passion of yours that you have put aside mine was painting so I put the phone down and just listened to music and painted it was a great disconnect.

I turn off my phone and sleep. I like sleeping, so I look for places that will help me sleep in peace, and it helps me disconnect from everything. It also recharges me a lot. So I like it.

I turn off tv, put my phone away and pick up a book. Try to read for 20-30 minutes before I turn off the light at night.

well if you are asking how do you disconnect from the day, then I would say that I put my phone and all electronics away for the night and perhaps pull out a book or journal for the remainder of me being awake and turn on a small light perhaps a soothing light to get though closer to sleep.

I put my phone away take my medicine and try to sleep and forget about it and that’s because I want to become anther person and if you want to achieve something your can make it happen

Put away phone or plug in speakers with music relax and chill evening tracks.
Then take a shower,do night routine care,then read a book, watch a short time movie and go to sleep.

The problem with that question is if the process requires deeper work in areas I need my phone the real answer is I need a desk and a make up bench

I find that the best way to disconnect is to completely put your phone and electronics out of site into a draw so you have no temptation to go on them. The reason why we should avoid going on our electronics before bed is because they can make you stay up late with distractions as well as the light reacting with your brain to keep you awake longer. It’s best to stay away for about an hour before bed so I recommend reading, writing about your day, listening to music or drawing, anything that helps you relax and get ready for bed

Personally, to unplug from my phone and social media I turn off my notifications and try to do something productive. That could be cleaning my room or working on homework. Sometimes I will also read a book instead of being on my phone.

You disconnect by turning your phone on sleep mode so you don’t have any notifications while sleeping you might want to put down stairs before bed to make sure you don’t get distracted and go on it the whole night

You need to set time to do your favorite things on your phone before bedtime in your spare time after dinner. If your gonna text someone make sure to indicate the brain that its sleeping time only, by saying goodnight at the end of the conversation instead of a simple goodbye. If you need to finish a task, do it tomorrow morning you'll feel better doing it then. You need to make sure your satisfied with leaving your phone for the night.

Relax , meditate or do anything that keeps you away from reality ,from my prespective to disconnent means to disconnet with the world and connect with yourself

For me it is differente if I force myself to not stay on my phone than if I just focus on what I planned to do. This is my suggestion: set at least a goal a day (it has to be realistic!), keep it on your mind and think about the sense of satisfaction you’ll feel at the and of the day. Also, listen to your body and do what makes you feel good in the moment!

I disconnect from social media by turning off my phone and not going on it for at least an hour or so.I also set screen time for all my apps and when the time runs out i don't go on it for the rest of the day.

You just put the phone aside. Littelarly. I think taking rhe time to say goodbye just doesn't work. Get it done with, quickly.

disconnecting is winding down and giving yourself some time to reflect,project,and collect all of your clutter in your brain and throw it out the window ! to disconnect make sure your environment is quiet and calm so you can begin.
disconnect from all aspects of reality and give yourself some peace before starting your day, or ending it .

I put my phone away from me when I go to sleep and that's when I lay on my bed i also turn off the notifications so it won't distracted me

Hi! Not long ago I tried a dopamine detox and I found it very useful to disconnect from using my phone all the time. The secret is making the things you want to avoid harder to do, for instance if you want to avoid using Instagram so much, you could put the app icon hidden so it is harder to enter, or straight up delete it for two weeks. Another thing that helped me is using a website blocker. I was watching way too many videos in YouTube so after avoiding it for two weeks (the time of the detox) I allowed myself only half an hour of YouTube a day. It forces me to be critical with what I am watching and to avoid falling down the rabbit hole again.
I hope this is helpful!

I am plugged during the day and a half an hour before I have to go to bed I don’t play on my phone and it’s easy because I can watch a movie with my mom and play on the computer instead and I also don’t know I’m in here I can just watch a movie with my mom instead of going on electronics or I can read a book or play with my dog

For me, disconnecting just means not using your phone. I either go to sleep, or do something creative for at least 30 minutes. I also use it as putting my phone down 30 minutes to an hour before my bedtime.

All you need to do is shut down all your devices ,sit down and just be YOU. Think about some of your favourite things but most importantly ..RELAX.

Place my phone on its night stand and charge it for tomorrow. Do not touch it again today.
Dimm the lights, if not alread happened.
Enjoy and easy read or a movie, listen to music, or chat with my girlfriend.

Meditate. The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its benefits. …
Surround yourself with nature. …
Visualize. …
Take a break from tech. …

Get a book, use the time doing anything for yourself, go for a walk with your dog… Anything you like and conects with yourself

You need to think about tomorrow a good night routine can help if you have a great sleep you’ll be refreshed in the morning

well, it's pretty easy 😀
turn off your phone (or computer idk- ) or stop using it

sorry if I sayed something wrong, English is not my first language!

Also good luck with that!

Turn off all distractions around you. It might be hard and tempting to check your social media in bed, but this is bad for you. I recommend setting your devices across your room so you can’t get them unless you get up (which you most likely won’t want to). Set yourself a timer that lets you know to put your electronics away. Then, turn on “Do Not Disturb” mode on your phone and let important messages through only. Hope this helps you!

It is pretty easy really! What do you like to do most other than playing with your phone? You can read books, magazines, listen to music, and so much more! Well you can drink warm water because it helps! ♥️

I hope I can feel better. I know that I am moving towards right direction but I am not feeling happier and more depressed..I am trying do my best,but feel empty and sad. Want to cry and don't move.

For me, I try to do hobbies other than checking social media. Like, writing, drawing, reading, or listening to music. It felt tough at first, but I keep telling myself "Hey, you can do it. And you know what? I've been checking on social media long enough. I want to do my other stuffs too." It's weird how good I felt after I started drawing again after for so long. It feels like I'm being able to enjoy what I love and connect with myself again. It was a very great feeling. To those that are reading this, I don't really know if this will be sent to anyone, but, I believe in you. And I know you can believe in yourself too. It may be tough at first, but you CAN get through this. And if you don't, just remember that there is some stranger in somewhere on this planet that believe in you. You can do this!

I’m assuming you mean disconnect from the internet or in general. Try and take it little by little, lessening it day by day and finding other things to do and locking your phone or blocking that certain someone who’s making your life hard if there is one. Keep faith in yourself, you can do it!

I can disconnect by getting away all the gadgets from me and fucos on the goal I set, also the way of having time to breath is a one way to disconnect.

I disconnect by having my phone be set to turn on the blue light filtering to notify me it is time to get ready for bed. Then at 10:20 the screen goes from color to black and white and is in silent mode so I cango to bed with little distractions

Getting out of social media, and just getting away from your phone/computer/TV
You can still check something ou on it, but try to be quick

You need to disconnect by taking time to do your favorite things on your phone before bedtime so you feel satisfied leaving it and if you want to talk to someone message them right then, then tell them goodnight and feel satisfied with leaving your phone to charge. If there's a task you need to finish wait until tomorrow morning you'll feel better doing it then.

Try hiding your phone from yourself after silencing it at night. Set app timers if you can and be honest about how much time you've spent on each app and how much time you should be spending on them. Uninstall useless apps that take up too much of your thoughts even though they're mind numbing. If you feel the need to get back on your phone and know that you can't resist it, just organize your pictures, go through your emails, try a brain training app, or do something that is boring and/or not addicting. Turn off unnecessary notifications from apps. These are just some ideas right off the top of my head, so I hope this is helpful! 🙂

Start small but do little activities. I personally like to color so I have an adult coloring book and I’ll do that for 30 minutes, taking some time to stretch and do some breathing exercises is actually very relaxing and more satisfying than it sounds.

I get off social media and find something productive to do as I disconnect from my phone. It helps me think in reality other than social media.

well to me, the first step to disconnecting is to turn off your phone and put where it's out of reach. then, you should do smthg that sparks ur interest, for example, painting, jogging and solving puzzles. these activities are benificial and interesting, so give it a try!
if u still feel like using ur phone, give urself occasional breaks from the activities and set a timer for using ur phone.

I disconnect by going through a process that’s usually started with a shower. For me, the shower is my safe place and the place I get the most intimate with myself and therefore connect with the “most high”. After I shower, I place my phone on the charger and”do not disturb” is activated. I usually play a game or meditate, but I’d choose something that makes you happy and do that. Sometimes I sit by indoor garden and just listen to music and watch the plants flow with the breeze.

Whatever you do, just let go and accept you’ve done your best today and you’re gonna crush tomorrow.

You can disconnect by turning off your phone and putting it away for sometime, any amount of time you want, go outside and just walk, or cycle in nature. And shut down all thoughts about missing out on anything that involves connecting to the internet

this depends on what your looking to disconnect from, a person, job, media. Recently i’ve had to take sometime off social media, it’s not about forcing yourself to do nothing with your time it’s about filling in the time you would be on it with more productive things like reading, cooking, cleaning, exercise, planning or relaxing

Vorbesc cu corpul meu în fiecare seara… Inima mea contează cel mai mult, plămânii și creierul imediat după… Te iubesc Timeea

Put your phone down, put it on mute if necessary. Avoid social media and resist the urge to check your notifications every few minutes. Use this new found free time to clear your head. Picture a blank canvas in your mind and focus on it. Try to think of absolutely nothing and no one.

For me?
I'm not sure… i like saying goodnight and good morning to my boyfriend every day but we're long distance and therefore can only communicate via phone….

But, this means disconnecting, (the usual answer is to put the phone in another room, but…. i use an alarm on weekdays to get up, and use my phone for my morning workout (to inform me of what i need to do)

This can be problematic, so, I set my phone (via settings and the "parental controls and digital wellness" sections) and set my phone to "me time" this allows me to choose apps that i can use (such as text or discord, as well as a notes app or just having the tab for the workout open) and preventing me from opening apps that i am not allowed to use (such as other social media and news apps, also youtube, since that also leads me down a rabbit hole)

I don't think you necessarily need to disconnect fully, but just, minimise the amount of "other people stuff" and blue light that you're able to access, for instance, if i find myself losing myself in instagram, ticktok or youtube then i will take a break from it (ideally by uninstalling).

This app gives me habits to complete, but to me it feels more like it's taking the pressure off of myself to actually make and follow my own plans to sort my life out… for me the nighttime routine step of disconnecting from the world and preparing for sleep begins with brushing my teeth.

I use a herbal toothpaste at night as mint seems to wake me up and if i make sure to move the brush slowly but firmly across my teeth it helps me to focus on the feelings (something which i did as a kid, but forgot as i got older, when i'd brush my teeth too fast and too hard and get gums that'd always bleed even though they are healthy)

I take all of my devices and I charge them in a separate room so I don’t get distracted by them. When it is time for my morning routine, I get my device so I can do it.
