When you're taking a break from being online, how do you like to spend your time?

Sometimes you just need a minute (or two) to unplug. Whether it's five minutes, 10 minutes or a few hours, taking time away from the internet is a good thing. So, when you take a break from being online, what are some of the things you enjoy doing?

Below are 10 things I like to do when I take a digital break:

1. Get cozy on the sofa while reading a book. Along with drinking a hot cup of tea.

2. Go for a walk or exercise. Walking is usually good enough for me but there are times when I want to lift some weights or do resistance training.

3. Hang out with friends. During the weekend, I like to meet up with my friends for coffee (well tea for me) and lunch and catch up.

4. Watch a movie or a few episodes from a TV show.

5. Self-care. From giving myself a manicure to putting on a face mask it's good to make time to pamper yourself.

6. Listen to music. Sometimes, I just sit down, relax and listen to some of my favorite music. Or find new or different songs or artists to listen to.

7. If it's the weekend, I like to go to the museum. I like to take my time and walk around and look at all the beautiful art.

8. Hobbies. I don't always have to time to draw or paint but taking breaks from being online totally gives me time to focus on one of my favorite hobbies.

9. Journal or meditate. Sometimes, I just have to clear my mind. So I will either write down all my thoughts or meditate to quiet my mind.

10. Bake cookies. I love to bake cookies whether from scratch from a recipe or with pre-made dough. For me, baking cookies is so relaxing and your home smells nice. Plus, I have snacks for #4 when I watch movies and shows.
