Cellphone Sleeping Bag

At the Miraval wellness resorts in Arizona, Massachusetts, and Texas, they give each guest that checks in a cellphone sleeping bag with the encouragement to “Unplug. Be Present.”

Buy (or make or repurpose something into) a cellphone sleeping bag, and use it to give your phone a nap whenever you want to be more present. (It sure deserves a nap after all the work it does for you each day, doesn’t it?) While your phone is napping, resist the urge to check on it (or worry about it).

Later, if you’re feeling inspired, reflect on this experience in your Project Quartz journal.
