Digital Detox Business Benefit 2: Helps You Achieve Your Goals Quicker

As business owners, we intuitively know there’s such a thing as positive stress on the way to achieving our goals. Positive stress shouldn’t be avoided like technostress—but sometimes they get mixed up. It’s like our bodies forget how to tell the difference. The message: ALL STRESS IS BAD!! Our inability to tolerate positive stress hinders our personal growth and goal attainment. And anytime we feel stressed, our digital devices offer an easy distraction (read: more stress).

Stepping away from your devices in a digital detox allows your nervous system to reorient, separating the technostress from positive stress. Plus, when you’re detoxed from unhealthy habits, you’re no longer using technology as an avoidance tool, which will give you more time and energy to pursue your goals. You’ll knock down barriers to achieve your ideal future more quickly.
