The best Plug is when you are switched off!
Oh my, how refreshed I feel. I really needed a detox. When you go through an emotionally taxing period, you just need to take a break from it all. A vacation would be ideal but most of the world is still closed, plus finances are kind of tight. I will again give a salute to all social media managers. The word 'heroe' is an understatement. That job wears every part of you down.
So imagine being part of the above occupation whilst multitasking other hustles? Well, I switched off my data, only posted about Bohemian Rhapsody on my IG story and steered clear of alcohol. I ensured that I had sleep including naps. Watched little TV and read a book. A physical book. Imagine what staying away from your phone, the internet and any electronic distraction can do?

We are online for school, meetings, work and even socializing. But it can get too much. The downside of being online is that we are sponges. We are absorbing all the news on our timelines. Every tragedy, unrest and drama unfolds and we don't have outlets.

Here are five ways to switch off:
1. It's a wrap
2. Switch off

4. Eat clean
5. Clear your thoughts
