A warm welcome to the Wellbeing Oasis!
We all need to take breaks to recharge. We recognise that it is good to take screen-free respites, such as going for a walk or exercising, but that also sometimes it is not easy to step away from your device.
The good news is that tech-based breaks can give you some of the same benefits as the offscreen variety, especially if you’re able to include some combination of physical movement, social interaction, and brain stimulation.
