Imagine time, minus television, computers, iPads, and phones... focused on people - where you literally unplug yourself from sensory overload! We challenge you to get away from the daily grind, to reconnect, to refresh. Most of us are addicted to electronics, and a fast pace and don't even realize it. Ask yourself, when is the last time I went to bed without watching the news (especially around election time)? Or checking email or Facebook - one last time? So why not take an intentional break from the hum of daily life? Here are Top 4 Reasons you need to consider it: ***- Your brain needs to detox.*** There is a gland in your brain called the pineal gland. **[Its responsible for regulating melatonin](https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/mind-read/what_keeps_you_awake_at/ "Why to getaway to Belize - Unplug in your Overwater Cabana Bungalow"),** which helps you to relax and get to sleep. Your computer screen overstimulates the pineal gland. When it’s overstimulated the melatonin in your body is suppressed and your sleep and rest periods will be automatically more difficult. Give your brain a break. ***- Memories are not made staring into screens!*** Memories are made laughing over meals or chasing hermit crabs on the shore. Memories are made **[exploring ancient Mayan Ruins ](https://belizeislandparadise.com/activities "Exploring the ancient mayan ruins")**or hiking through jungles. Memories are made in private cabanas and staring into one another's eyes. You will return home with unforgettable memories. ***- Unplugged vacations encourage movement.*** Our bodies and our minds are happier when we move. When there is no television to watch you're **[more likely to take a leisurely walk go for a swim in the salty sea](https://belizeislandparadise.com/island-blog/entry/go-on-holiday-for-the-holidays-belize-st-georges-caye-resort-belize "Relax in Belize by the beach").** You are more likely to be more active. ***- Because at the end of the day - people matter most.*** Reconnect with your partner. Or your best friend. Or yourself! Cultivating healthy relationships is difficult when we are constantly distracted by text messages and emails. When is the last time you sat quietly and focused on yourself or your partner to the exclusion of everything else for days at a time? It will change your perspective and allow for more meaningful relationships. ![Snorkel in Belize at our Beach Resort](https://belizeislandparadise.com/images/Snorkel_in_Belize_Beach_Resort.jpg) **[St. George's Caye Resort](http://www.gooddiving.com)** in Belize is perfectly designed to help you disconnect with the noise of your busy life.
