How would you feel about NOT using your cell phone for one day every week?
A lot of people think they can’t survive the modern age without their cell phone, iPod, the Internet, television etc. Recently, while traveling, I was in a situation where I had no Internet or phone connection for a full day. At the beginning it was strange and felt unsafe. How could I live without reporting to my family where I am every second? How could I live without knowing where they are very second? This was a situation that was forced upon me. It wasn’t my choice. I am asking myself now, if I will be able to chose to have no communication for a day, or even for an evening. Why? Because there is so much NOISE around us and we spend so much of our time texting/emailing/talking. When I was forced into this situation I actual felt more peaceful. More connected to myself. So I wonder if having this designated time every week will bring me some more inner peace.
What do you think? Can you imagine yourself choosing to be disconnected so you can have more balance?
Sounds wonderful!
I love the “just be ourselves”!
Fantastic Idea!!
We practice no cells or internet from Friday night sunset to Saturday night sunset! It’s amazing to see your
teenagers eyes and have full blown conversations too! There’s so much simplicity of listening to the birds, picnics and good ole fashion conversation that we forget about with all this technology!
I leave the darn thing in the car half the time-never have liked the constant intrusion I feel when I have the thing on. We really survived quite nicely before they invented them! Yes I know they are great for somethings but I agree with you- we need a break from them to “just be with ourselves”
