Our lives seem to be getting busier and busier. It feels like we’ve done a month’s worth of work in a week or two. Everywhere we look now is a screen. When I was young and if I felt bored, I would take the phone and call a friend for hours or go for a walk or a bike ride… Or sometimes just even sit there and look at the trees and the birds. How times have changed, just in the matter of a couple of decades. The world is only going to get more digital, always on and getting us to work harder than ever before. So taking time off to disconnect from the usual routine is hugely important for our mental and physical wellbeing.
