Global Day of Unplugging
Minderful has partnered up with Unplug Collective, the organisation behind Global Day of Unplugging, to celebrate #globaldayofunplugging from Friday 3 March - Saturday 4 March (sundown to sundown).
In the run-up, the Minderful team are pledging to take a break from technology and to help reconnect with each other and our community. This is a chance to pause the daily hustle and bustle of life and take time to relax, reflect, and appreciate the wonder of the world around us.
The goal of the day is to elevate human connection over digital engagement.
Over 24 hours, we're encouraging the world to take a break from technology.
It can be 1 hour or a total of 24 hours.
There's no wrong way to observe and celebrate the day. It's about putting down our smartphones, logging out and reconnecting with ourselves, our loved ones and our community.
Why not make your pledge today?
Northampton Unplugged
On the day itself, we'll be hosting an event at Delapré Abbey in Northampton on Friday 3 March (5-6:30pm) where guests will learn about the benefits of unplugging, get creative designing smartphone 'nap sacks' and get active with a wellbeing walk in the 900-year-old abbey gardens.
If you're nearby, then swing by! We'd love to welcome you there.

Looking for ways to unplug?
Lastly, to truly help you unplug, we put together an unplugging guide.
Digital detoxing is a great way to reset and reconnect with yourself. It can help reduce stress, improve focus and concentration, and enhance your overall wellbeing.
Taking a break from the digital world can help you refocus on what is essential in life, such as spending quality time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, and enjoying the moment. It can also help you become more mindful and conscious of how you spend your time, leading to more meaningful experiences.

So, good luck!
We're looking forward to shutting down, with you.
Warmly,
The Minderful Team
