The Importance of Being (Sometimes) Techno Free
I have an amazing internet tech guy Ryan who suggested I do a quick blog on the importance of our technology but also the importance of turning it off once and a while. So here I go… I love Twitter and my twitter followers know it. I love Facebook as well. I love to chat, organize and get my work done from home, and just plain staying connected is a miracle of our modern world. Still there is a time and place for everything, technology included. Sometimes we need to slow down and get real… We need to go outside, stroll, breath deeply or read a book away from the distraction of our computers, cell phones and TV. We are living in the future in many ways and the fact that we can correspond with people around the world in seconds (I have my email account attached to my FB instant message so I get people from Argentina, Germany, and Russia saying hi when I am writing to my daughter who might be in Morocco… AMAZING!). It is cool to have access to the world and information in the way that we do, but we have to stop making it define us and run our lives! To be healthy and to live longer we need to TURN OFF technology – create for yourself techno free days, or at least hours, so that you can re-tune to your natural biorhythms.
When we take time to go out into nature whether that is your neighborhood, Central park, or perhaps the beach… the time we spend with ourselves in nature and or in Silence will change our lives for the better. We are more happy and productive when we take time to just allow the elements to be our guide. When you connect with you, especially in nature, you connect to your personal strength. SO enjoy the summer sun… the breezes and the feel of the sand beneath your feet, because… it is there for you. Also LOVE your technology, yet LOVE yourself enough to be quiet, still and detached from the frequency of cyber life by tuning into the frequency of nature and the balance of YOU!
