Yes

Also quite literally go touch grass. Take a friend with you. Don't take devices if you're worried.

Leaving your devices behind is pretty nice anyway.

A few years ago I found my old mp3 player and as a joke I threw some music in it and took it with me for my walk. Its like less than half the weight and size of my phone, so that alone was nice. It felt like I was carrying nothing at all.

Then all the urges to take a picture of some stupid bird or a nice cloud went away, saving me the trouble of deleting those pictures after realizing that no one has opened the file and no one will. It also was pretty nice to know that if someone calls me, I won't even know about it. So my walk wont be interrupted. It somehow made my brain more relaxed. Now I leave my phone at home pretty much all the time. I only take it if I'm gone for extended period of time or if I'm going to actually need it. I don't even take it with me when I go meet a friend, I just tell them to meet me at a place and a time.
