Tune out so you can tune in.

We are in the throes of the holiday season which means schedules are more chaotic and there are even more demands on your time. The reality is that much of this time of year is spent with co-workers, friends, and extended family. Which is great fun and all, but it also means less time for the two of you on a more one-on-one basis.

And we all know that less time together can leave you feeling disconnected and out of sync. So what is one way to get through this time of year feeling a bit more connected? How can you find time to spend together when it feels like there isn’t any time to spare?

Well, you can always tune out in order to tune in. Yup, step back from screens and scrolling in order to create more time together.  Tune out the roar of social media and streaming so that you can turn that time suck into more tuned-in time together. 

 The more often you can limit (or even ditch) the screens, the more time you actually have for one another.  Being screen-free, or more realistically, screen-conscious, is a great way to get more in tune with each other.

Challenge yourself and each other to reduce your screen time by even just 10% in the remaining weeks of the year. Set limits on apps you overuse. See if you can convert that screen time saved into more time spent together.

And let me know how it goes. I’m taking part in this challenge with you and I’d love to hear how it’s going. Is it easier or harder than you expected? Are you finding more creative ways to spend time together? 

I can’t wait to hear!

You got this,
