Avi Chiat is a busy entrepreneur in Boston, Massachusetts. Avi Chiat
leads a full life and stays connected with the world as most of us do, through
technology. Avi Chiat also, however, appreciates the benefits of unplugging and
spending time in nature.
Unplugging, or removing yourself from technology in favor of
time in nature, with a book or with friends, helps people like Avi Chiat relax.
It isn’t just in their minds, either. Unplugging offers real benefits.
For example, unhealthy emotions like jealousy, loneliness and
envy are perpetuated by social media.
Unplugging gives your mind a chance to
quit thinking about what other people are doing and worry about what you enjoy.
It also reduces the fear of missing out on life, replacing pictures of food,
beaches, gyms and cats with real experiences that engage you with the world.
If you want to start experiencing life without technology, as Avi Chiat does, consider scheduling one day per month to unplug. Put down your cell
phone, tell those close to you that you won’t be available and get away, if
only for a few hours.
