Self-care: 10 Tips for Digital Detox

Reconnect with What Matters

In a world that never stops scrolling, sometimes the most radical act of self-care is… doing nothing at all. We’re inviting you to pause. To power down. To step away from the screens and lean into the quiet.

Think of it as a gentle digital detox - an invitation to reconnect with yourself, your space, and the moments that matter most.

Set Screen-Free Boundaries in Your Day

A digital detox doesn’t have to be extreme. It’s the small moments that make a difference - tiny shifts that help you reclaim your attention, calm your nervous system, and find more space to breathe.

Here are a few easy, screen-free boundaries to help bring more presence into your day:

Wake Up Without Wi-Fi

Start your day tech-free for the first 30 minutes. Leave your phone on airplane mode or in another room. Instead, open a window, light a candle, stretch. Let your morning begin slowly—anchored in breath, light, and intention rather than notifications.

Designate ‘No Phone’ Zones

Pick one room in your home where screens are off-limits. The bedroom is a great place to start. Make it a true sanctuary—filled with soft textures, gentle lighting, and calming aromas. No scrolling, just stillness.

Unplug to Power Down

Set a screen curfew at least one hour before bed. Dim the lights, spritz a calming mist, light your favorite scent. Let your body know it’s time to rest. Swapping blue light for candlelight is one of the most underrated forms of self-care.

Choose One Offline Window Each Week

It could be an afternoon, a morning, or even a full day - completely offline. No social media, no emails, no pressure. Just space.

Create New Off-Screen Practices

Create a Morning Ritual

Choose one nourishing practice to start your day:

  • Open your window and stretch
  • Take a deep breath and enjoy the morning light on your face
  • Make a cup of tea mindfully
  • Journal a few lines
  • Sit with a calming scent
  • Step outside, even just to feel the air

These small rituals ground you in the present and set the tone for a day that feels like yours. 

Take a Lunchtime Scroll Break (Without Scrolling)

Step away from your desk. Leave your phone behind. Go for a walk. Cook something simple. Sit outside if you can. Just 15–30 minutes of offline time during the day can help reset your focus and lift your mood.

Practice Self-Care

Taking care of yourself is another way to build rituals that reduce stress and support your mental health. 

Tools to Support Your Digital Detox

Light a candle at dusk. Choose grounding scents like sandalwood, frankincense, or cedar. These aromas signal to your brain that it’s time to slow down.

Our home fragrance and calming aromatherapy collection is designed to support your everyday wellbeing. Whether you're creating a screen-free sanctuary or just softening the edges of your day, scent can transform any moment.
