What is Screen Free Week?
The average American devotes more than 10 hours a day to screen time. Get these hours back and reap the benefits by participating in screen free week. Screen Free Week is dedicated time to turn off the screen and turn on improved sleep, better regulated moods, and more organized behavior – all benefits of less screen time. Make it a family affair devoted to ditching the screen.
Register and participate in screen-free activities all week long. Registration is FREE and open to all, ages 5 and up.

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you.” – Katie Reed
IT'S OKAY
To make mistakes
To have bad days
To be less than perfect
To do what's best for you
To be yourself

To set yourself up for success, plan a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big, drastic change.
Small Changes Matter
- Simplify. Instead of being concerned about counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness.
- Focus on finding foods you love and easy to use recipes.
- Start slowly and make changes to your eating habits over time, instead of trying to change everything overnight.
- Drink water. Water is one of the central components of our diet. Dehydration causes tiredness, low-energy and headaches. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger.
- Small changes matter. Don't let missteps derail you. Every healthy food choice you make counts!

Stay motivated by trying something new or challenging your friends or family to join you. When you try something new, it gives you a fresh perspective on exercise.
Looking for something new?

Plank Challenge - perform planks every day for anywhere between 10 sec and 3 min
How to commit to a 30-day challenge:
- Find a buddy - share the these challenges and stay accountable.
- Write it down - record your activity daily to see your improvement.
- Remind yourself - set a time and commit to calling a halt to what you are doing to get the challenge done.
