What’s included in the detox?
The Digital Detox is a 35-day course that will help you detox from your unhealthy phone habits, take back control of your devices, and learn to use your phone as a tool. It consists of 3 sections, listed below.
Setting the foundation | Prepare to change your phone habits.
Making changes | Start the real detox - no social media, no gaming, no entertainment, no fluff. Continue the detox and layer in more challenges, then finish the detox strong.
Creating a new baseline | Set new boundaries for your relationship with your devices.
Is this a complete technology detox?
The overall goal of the detox is to learn to use technology as a tool. The main focus will be reshaping your habits on your phone since that is the most common culprit of unhealthy behaviors. You’ll still be able to use technology that serves you, we are just eliminating the extra stuff.
Do detoxes really work?
The goal of the Break Free from the Internet Digital Detox is to reset your baseline and begin using your phone as a tool. It’s not a “break.” The intention is not to take three weeks off, then go back to doing things the way you were before.
This detox will not work for you unless you’re ready to make real, lasting change. This means:
Going into the detox with a growth mindset.
Preparing to commit yourself to the detox.
Dedicating the time and energy to participating in the entirety of the course.
Planning to change your habits for the long-run.
Can I participate in the detox if I use social media for my job?
Yes! I include info about this within the detox. If you use social media for your job, then it’s a tool for you. You need to learn how to create proper boundaries around it so you’re using social media to serve you, not the other way around.
Does the detox include additional support?
