Technology Detox

We have all come to rely so much on technology.

Ask yourself how many times have you seen a group of people having dinner and being on their phones, I have even seen people on their phone during a movie at a cinema.

I will be honest I now make a conscious choice every time I am speaking with someone I turn my phone to mute or better yet leave it in my bag and concentrate on the conversation. In doing so I really see the amount of technology filling our every day lives.

Limiting technology in your life involves an intentional choice to find a healthier balance between digital and real-world experiences.

How to do today

Have a plan to spend the day away from your phones, computers and gaming.

If you cannot make it through the day at least do part of it. If you need to stay in touch with children or others who may need to contact you because of an emergency set up your phone to only accept calls from those numbers.

Instead of technology

Go to the local park

Go to the beach

Read a book

Talk really talk to those around you

Listen to music

There are so many options for the day you might even be surprised by how much you can achieve
