Today, on National Relaxation Day, join us in taking a much-needed screen break.

Choose your time, turn off your devices, and spend your day doing something you love β€” hanging out with friends and family, basking in the summer sun, trying a new hobby, or just daydreaming. β˜€οΈπŸŽ¨πŸ’­

Refocusing and relaxing can be a helpful reset for your mind. No matter how you spend it, we hope you have a great day.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY!

This weeks tip is prioritize your sleep schedule and limit screen time before bed! Stick to a schedule, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Blue light from devices and screens can make it harder to fall asleep, so reduce blue light exposure from your phone or computer before bedtime.

Save the date! πŸ“…

On Aug. 15, NAMI is celebrating National Relaxation Day with a Digital Relaxation Day, and we’re inviting you to join us.

Choose a block of time that works for you, put your devices aside and spend that time doing something that helps you relax, recharge or reconnect.

It could be 30 minutes, an hour or an entire afternoon. How you participate is up to you.

We’ll share more ideas leading up to the day. πŸ’š
