When this newsletter lands in your inbox, I'll be at my favorite trail by the river. (the one pictured above!)

I took this weekend to unplug because, honestly, my mind was buzzing with all the thoughts, all the time.

• Yes, I meditate daily.
• Yes, I limit my social media time.

But still, I found myself feeling scattered.

It wasn't necessarily what I was consuming but how much. Emails, chats, communities, social media - not mindless scrolling, but engaging with friends and my network. None of it was stressful, but I could feel the mental clutter building.

That's my signal. Time to step back and recenter.

So, I hit the unplug button Friday afternoon and I'm staying that way until Monday morning. But here's the thing - it wasn’t all or nothing with unplugging. I designed this reset for me.

I unplugged from apps, communities, social media, and even group chats. But I kept my texts and I still used the internet for research. I’m watching a few YouTube videos - ironically, about making YouTube videos and 360º videos, my latest learning obsession.

Because unplugging isn't about rigid rules. It's about choosing what you need.

So, this week, I invite you to ponder:

• How do you know when it’s time to step back?
• What would your version of unplugging look like?

Hit reply and let me know your thoughts on those questions - I'd love to hear them!

And....if you need some help brainstorming what that might look like for, just reply and let me know what's on your mind. Or, set up a free chat to see how I might be able to support you in stepping back and unplugging.

You can grab some time on my calender here.

Until next time...
