Switch to sports Your repressed emotions are best released in physical activities like sports, says Freud. Switching to sports keeps you healthy and fit internally and externally. This would help you to use your leisure time in something productive rather than being invisible in a digital space. This has proved to be one of the effective ways of doing a digital detox.

It’s an experience of deepening your sense of self without the distraction of any technology.
Talk while eating Sure your grand ma’s are going to sue me up if I advise you to do such things! But the truth is we the youngsters indulge in phones and other gadgets especially while we are on the dining table. “Food! Oh then clicks, filters, tags and post!......” Try and enjoy your sense of tasting because you have lost it in the filtered world. Indulging in small talks with one another while having food (keeping on mind, your breathe and senses), helps you to divert yourself from the mere thought of all social medias. Because a warm and interesting conversation opens your mind.
Time to count your tiles Not joking… it’s a fact that helped me in restraining the use of mobile phones inside the bathroom. Might sound, like a dump, but it’s a way you engage yourself and ignore that there is a digital world waiting for you. Once you start engaging in the process of counting the tiles or blocks, it becomes an interesting task. You’ll divert and then you’ll have the tendency to recount every time you are in. This helps you from refraining the use of gadgets at least when you are on a digital detox.
No secrecy You are having a tough time, because digital detox is never a child’s play. You should realize that and should lend help from your family, friends and colleagues. There is nothing to be ashamed of as you are in voyage to uplift your life. Temptations occurs from nook and corner. So let your friends and family know that you are on a digital detox and ask them to help you out.
I am sure they’ll be more than happy and those hearts and hands will be forever open for you.
