Read Newspaper:

This might sound very disappointing and boring but reading the newspaper is better than reading the news online. It puts less strain on the eyes. It makes our mind sharp and helps us keep away from screens in the morning hour. Not just that, it also helps in having a peaceful time with reading in the first hour waking up without the negative vibe of the hustle, and getting things down even when you are not in the mood to begin now.

Morning Coffee with Nature

Wake up and think of why you don’t need to use your phone right away. Once you are awake, switch off your mobile network and embrace the beauty of nature. Be grateful for having this morning and then start being aware of your thoughts with a cup of coffee. Don’t just wake up and tell yourself to Google what’s the temperature, or what is new in today’s market or what are the prices for shares, etc. Be in the moment, ignore your Digital media and live freely in nature.

Celebration of Boredom

Feel happy that you have time to be bored. Many around you are so caught up in searching for things related to career, Job and what not. Feel blessed to have at least 2-3 hours to yourselves when you are doing nothing but just working on your mind. Be it sitting idle or listening to all the songs which make you dance, Work your Boredom out in a positive way..

Focus on Screen Time

Keep Tracking Your Screen Time. Now, this might seem like throwing a truth bomb on oneself but you have to keep observing your screen time and precisely Google time to see how many minutes are getting caught up while working on Google in the total 24 hours.

Detox for 3 Hours:

Give yourself a break from being on Google. Just don’t search for anything for straight 3 hours. Even if it’s urgent, don’t do that. Be at peace for a little while. Work in things that don’t require an internet connection. Find time to read, write and even gain knowledge apart from Google. This might seem tough for a while but then observe how the duration rises from 3 hours to 10 hours and then more.

Along with these habits, the below-mentioned tips will help you get some insights on Mindful Browsing,  Which are :
