Most of us spend more time than we’d like to admit looking at a screen. You’re doing it right now — and if you’re like a majority of us, you’re probably looking at a screen more than you look at anyone or anything else. There are plenty of scientifically proven reasons why screen time should be limited. The effects of being online too much can be physical, like weakened eyesight and weight gain, and mental, like increased feelings of depression and anxiety. So why do we still spend so much time scrolling?

Whether you believe technology is addictive or not, the truth is that many people struggle to detach from their phones. If you can relate, a digital detox at SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats may be precisely what you need to reconnect with the world around you and learn to ignore the siren call of your screens.

What Is a Digital Detox?

A digital detox involves not using technology, or a certain type of technology, for a specified period of time — usually between a few days and a few weeks. During a digital detox, a person may set goals to avoid:

  • Checking their email.
  • Logging onto social media platforms.
  • Texting.
  • Playing video games.
  • Browsing the web.
  • Watching TV.
  • Using their phones.

Why Should I Start a Digital Detox?

People decide to undergo digital detox every day for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common are:

  • To take back control of your time.
  • To stress less.
  • To focus more.
  • To be present in person.

The great thing about a digital detox is you can personalize it to your needs. For example, if you find yourself spending hours scrolling through your phone but enjoy connecting with friends by watching the game together, perhaps a social media detox is what you need without sacrificing something important to you. Still, many people choose to disconnect entirely, and the best way to do so is by getting away from screens altogether and finding something positive to focus on instead.

How Do I Detox Myself Digitally?

You may be considering a digital detox if you’re experiencing symptoms like:

  • Increased anxiety, depression or irritability.
  • Feeling insecure or less confident than usual.
  • Feeling “chained” to your devices and becoming anxious when you can’t check them.
  • Having insomnia or other challenges with sleeping.
  • Avoiding going out or being with people so you can spend more time online.

If any of these apply to you, SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats invites you to consider an escape. Imagine exploring some of the world’s greatest natural wonders as you’re guided through activities and meditation designed to bring you closer to yourself — all without any technology to distract you from personal wellness.
