SCREEN SPACE

2.

To separate from your screens, follow these tips:

Set limits

Thanks to the Screen Time app, not only can you see the hours spent scrolling Instagram creep up, but you can also set daily limits. The daily recommended time to spend on your phone is no more than two hours.

Listen to a podcast Occasionally, swap out Netflix for a good podcast to give tired or strained eyes a rest. We’re currently enjoying Happier With Gretchen Rubin, Fortunately, Shameless and The Fake Heiress.

Get lost in a good book

This one might be an obvious option, but one study by the University of Sussex found that just six minutes of reading reduced stress levels by more than two thirds, making it the perfect bedtime activity.

Spend time outside

And not just for another blossom pic on the ’gram. Enjoy your daily exercise and immerse yourself in nature. Research has revealed that looking at trees reduces blood pressure and stress-related hormones.
