What does unplugging mean to you?
Unplugging to me means setting aside any of my electronics (tv,
laptop, phone etc.) and reminding myself to be present and to not get
wrapped up in social media.
How or why do you unplug?
I unplug by dancing. I have been a dancer since I was three years
old and it has always been my outlet for any emotions I am feeling.
Dance allows me to express my emotions when I don't have the words for
it and it's also a great exercise which helps me keep my body and mind healthy.
What is the importance of unplugging?
The importance of unplugging is to remind yourself to be present.
I think in this day and age everyone is so obsessed with social media
and it really affects their mental health, but taking time and
reminding yourself that there is more to life than what goes on in the
social media world is a good way to take care of your mental health.
It also allows you time to do an activity that you love.
