Our Addiction to….

I recently experienced a 37 hour computer shut down. A voluntary one. It was interesting as I observed myself walking past the laptop and wondering:

– Should I just log in real quick?

– Is someone waiting for an email response?

– Perhaps just 10 minutes on Facebook to see what’s happening and toss in a few sassy comments.

I resisted. I was amused. I found the ridiculousness in my desire for constant and immediate connection to be truly fascinating. 

How often do we unplug? What would occur if we took more breaks from our technologically connected worlds?

Here’s one of the things I did while my computer took its 37 hour nap… a much needed outdoor adventure in nature!

While I work long hours my dog will nudge my arm and her big brown eyes implore me to step away, to come outside, to be on an adventure.

I’m sure you may realize that although my computer was shut down… my smart phone was not. How else could I capture a hiking selfie to instagram and share with you?

LOL~ baby steps!

Shall we? 
Shall we unplug from our computer and constant online stimuli and go play outside? Would it refresh your mind? Renew your playful spirit?

Let’s disconnect to connect in a new way.
