Digital detox on vacation!
Simply spend your vacation in Tyrol without technology.
Digital detox has been a trend for several years now. Digital detox is all about counteracting digital addiction. Many people are consciously looking for a vacation where they can say goodbye to their smartphone and laptop and thus also to social media, emails and the like. The aim is to detoxify body and mind by consciously doing without. We give you tips on how to combine your next vacation with a digital detox and consciously focus on the here and now.
Offline travel: How to really switch off while traveling!
We have too much of everything: unhealthy food, sensory overload, stress, etc. The need to unwind and switch off is growing and, especially when traveling, we want to escape the constraints of our digitally dominated everyday lives. You want to focus on the essentials, really relax and be less distracted. Experiencing the moment as intensely as possible and storing these memories in your head instead of in your smartphone gallery – today this is a real challenge and requires some preparation and consistency. We give advice on how you can best carry out your digital detox vacation. With this in mind: Goodbye ringing phone, popping emails and flashing cell phone – hello time and slowing down here at the Hotel Post!
Going cold turkey
Try coziness… Don’t worry, we don’t want to overdo it right away. Just like any other vacation, offline vacations deserve to be personalized. Mobile-free time can range from a few hours over several days to the entire duration of your vacation. Even a short period of doing without is enough to notice the difference in your personal experience. The secret to switching off without completely giving up your cell phone lies in knowing what you want. As is so often the case in life, it’s worth thinking about your personal priorities. If you know what you want, you can also tell others to be less digital on vacation. This will take the pressure off you to be available to everyone, everywhere and at all times. No matter whether it’s seconds, minutes or hours: You will feel the added value of doing without.
In the footsteps of Robinson Crusoe…
Completely free from digital constraints and yet not lonely. As social beings, we crave connection and especially when friends or family are not with us, we feel particularly drawn to our smartphones. If we switch off our cell phones before going to bed and shut down our laptops, we can almost imagine how the shipwrecked Robinson Crusoe must have felt after being stranded on the desert island. Unlike Robinson Crusoe, however, you decide for yourself when, where and how you enjoy rest and relaxation. True to the motto “out of sight, out of mind”, it can be helpful to put all digital triggers out of sight. An emergency cell phone with all the important numbers instead of an internet-enabled smartphone can also be very useful. You can also go to an offline location where there is no network connection. This will minimize the temptation to switch on the emergency cell phone for a brief moment and hand over responsibility.
Back to the analog roots
Analog is not dead! How about an analog alarm clock, a printed travel guide, magazine, book or postcard on vacation? Online information from websites and blogs may be practical, but you can do without it on vacation. You can find the best excursion destination or the best restaurant by observing local people, talking to them or using your knowledge of geography to navigate the offline map. Want to bet that you can survive on vacation without Google as your friend and helper? Side note: Talking to the local people, our staff and ourselves also provides insider tips that you won’t find on any website!
