Even when it’s running at its fastest speeds, many people view their internet connection — or, more accurately, the devices that rely on it — as a source of stress. Work emails. Bills. Junk mail. World news. We get it all online, and it usually means adding yet another task to our over-piled plates.
But on the flip side, have you considered that your home’s Wi-Fi, combined with your favorite devices, has all you need to help you relax? With Consolidated Communications’ rock-solid connection, you won’t experience the frustrations of lag or buffering that can spoil your newfound sense of serenity.

The free version of the Calm app offers easy seven-day programs to help alleviate anxiety, improve sleep, and help you focus, while the paid version also has 21-day programs on a more expansive array of topics.

Commit to Inner Calm
These shows and apps can help you take better control of your thoughts and emotions. But it’s also important to take time to unplug along your journey to inner peace. Plan a family game night with no devices, put down your phones during dinner, and turn off all devices at least an hour before bedtime, because blue light can disrupt sleep patterns.
When you’re ready to log on to modern life again, your Consolidated Communications Wi-Fi signal will be ready and waiting, as fast and strong as ever.
