In this digital age, it's crucial to take a break from screens and unplug from technology.

Designate a specific time on self-care Sunday where you switch off your devices, resist the temptation of checking emails or scrolling through social media, and be fully present in the moment. Instead, read a book; go for a nature walk, or engage in a meaningful conversation with loved ones.


#6 Self-care playlist and dance party
