Spring Break is usually associated with itineraries, socializing, and traveling — which can wear you out. Maybe what you need is to slow down and decompress by:
Limiting screen time. Try leaving your phone in the car when you meet a friend for lunch so you can give them your full attention. A small digital detox can pay off big.
Cleaning out your social media accounts. You may have some social media clutter. Spend some time purging what you no longer find valuable.
Resting. One word: naps!
Getting fresh air. There’s something cleansing about being outside, even in the rain or snow.
Exercising. If you can combine exercise with fresh air, all the better.
Organizing. As you organize closets and drawers, find things to sell, donate, trade with a friend, or throw away. A break is a perfect time to purge physical clutter, too.
If you or a loved one experience difficult emotions as you slow down during Spring Break, you’re not alone.
