November Monthly Challenge: News Detox
In a world filled with constant news updates and social media notifications, taking a break from this information overload can seem daunting. However, a news detox can have tremendous benefits for both your mental and emotional well-being. And November presents an opportunity to challenge yourself to disconnect from the endless stream of news and focus on what truly matters in your daily life. By avoiding the distraction of news stories and separating yourself from the anxiety-inducing headlines, you can free up more time and mental space to engage with the world around you in a more fulfilling way.
Sanjeev Yadav, an entrepreneur and writer, completed a 30-day news detox and shared his experience on Medium. He found that by disconnecting from the constant barrage of news, he was able to focus on his personal life and goals. He also noticed an improvement in his overall mood and decreased anxiety levels. So give it a try and see how a news detox can positively impact your daily routine and overall outlook on life.
What to Watch: BlackBerry (Available to Rent on Amazon Prime)
Looking for a movie that will have you laughing out loud? Look no further than BlackBerry, featuring the comedic talents of Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel. I watched it on a flight the other day and couldn’t stop cracking up. The film follows the company Research in Motion back in the 1990’s and 2000’s as they grow and develop the BlackBerry phone, but it’s an incredibly interesting story to see the rise and fall of what was once the most dominant smartphone on the market before the iPhone. And there are a ton of one-liners you’ll be quoting.
Fall Style Upgrade: Chukka Boots
If you’re looking for a stylish and versatile shoe/boot option this fall, consider adding a pair of chukkas to your rotation. Chukkas are a great option because they can easily be dressed up or down depending on the rest of your outfit, making them perfect for a range of occasions. Clarks Desert Boot and Luca Terra Moc chukka sneaker from Huckberry are two of my favorite chukkas but quite a bit different. The Desert Boot features a sleek leather upper and comfortable crepe sole, while the Terra Moc has a more sneaker-ish feel with its moc-toe stitching. Both options offer durability, comfort, and timeless style though, making them a smart choice for any fashion-conscious individual. So whether you’re stepping out for a day at the office or trying to impress a girl on a first date, trust in the chukka boot to elevate your fall fashion game.
