Spending time on your devices can quickly add up. But small changes can create space for what matters most. Turn screen time into “me time” with simple, screen-free activities.

Try one of these:
• Take a walk outside
• Pray, practice meditation or deep breathing
• Stretch or move your body
• Journal or reflect
• Connect with someone in person

Less “scroll time” and more “soul time” empowers us to be more mindful about our Whole Health.

Which activity will you try?
