Digital Detox Business Benefit 1: Helps You Trust Your Inner Boss

As an entrepreneur, you often have to “trust your gut.” But what if you can’t trust your gut anymore? Adrenaline, cortisol, higher levels of stress hormones and a host of micro-interruptions have hijacked our bodies’ natural responses.

You’ve probably seen studies that posit psychological disorders and physical problems can stem from technostress. Of course you don’t want to get mentally or physically sick, but the danger is deeper and more subtle than that. Screen addiction makes it harder to connect with your inner wisdom that is invaluable in running a successful business. Technostress gets between you and the little voice that whispers in your head, “Do this, not that. Go this way, not that way.”

A digital detox gives you time to block out distractions and restore those crucial mind-body connections, allowing you to lead your business the way only you can.
