When Being Offline Became My Quiet Healing

Описание: Two weeks offline in Iran taught me the art of slow living for my mental health. With no internet and the stress of not knowing what was happening in the world and in our country, instead of giving in to anxiety, I practiced staying calm through baking bread, cooking comforting meals, reading books, caring for my plants, and spending time with my loved ones. These were four simple ways to manage anxiety and stay present during stressful days.

💛 Watch, feel the calm, and save these ideas for your own slow days.

PS:
No internet also meant no work for a freelance graphic designer (my husband and I), and we had no idea when it would come back. It was stressful, but I tried to use this time to focus on myself, healing, reading, cooking, and simply being present with my loved ones. These small moments helped me manage my anxiety and find calm. This video shares my experience of staying grounded in that situation.. I hope it brings a little calm to your day, too. Thank you for understanding."
