The Importance of "Technology Breaks" to Keep a Healthy Mind and Spirit

Goodness knows we're more "connected" than ever. If we're not online with our computers, we're connected via our smartphones.

These days, it seems there's hardly a moment when we're not being pinged by some app, either reminding us that we "must" do something, or letting us know that someone else just did something.

Enjoy the Beauty around you!

Sometimes you have to wonder how we even managed to stay alive — as a species — before cell phones and the Internet!

Seriously, though, there's such a thing as Too Much Technology!

Being old enough to remember "Life Before the Web" does make it mildly easier to step away and actually look at what's all around us, in physical space. 

After a couple of days of "late" winter, it is a beautiful day here. It's sunny and bright, and you can also sense that spring is about to arrive. It's a tad bit windy out there, but we have a sheltered spot on one of our decks where the sun has warmed the surrounding area and you can actually sit and look at the world.

Not the world "inside the technology," but the world "out there" that actually gave us life.

My challenge for you today is to put down the technology — even if just for ONE hour — and engage with the physical world around you: If you're an artist, create something. Or take your dog for a long walk. Or work on a hobby. Or cook a great meal from scratch. 

But whatever you choose, leave the phone and computer behind. No, don't just turn it to "vibrate;" leave it in another room!

Breathe in and out, and appreciate what's around you! Stop thinking about your social media, or your email, or whether your Steemit post is earning rewards. These things will all be there when you come back...

Bright Blessings!

You are not alone!
