Life is funny March 2- 3 is National Day of Unplugging #NationalDayOfUnplugging fell on Saturday and Sunday which for my family is the perfect day t unplug because yesterday Charlie spent most of the day yesterday outside with his friends playing Basketball and spending the day at the Park like in the old days when we lived over by my mother n law in our trailer.
Today is Sunday and in our Home we use it for Family Day even though David is at work because it gives us one on one time together. We will be watching movies and playing Board games and only answering the phone if David calls incase something happens to him at work. Would you like to join us for National Day Of Unplugging and Unplug From Technology with us today which is a perfect way to reset and spend time with your friends and family.
I have a question for you. Do you have multiple cell phones? Constantly Snapchatting every move and finding it hard to get through a meaningful conversation without adding to your story? Most of us increasingly miss out on the valuable moments of our lives as we pass the hours with our faces buried in our iPhones, documenting our every move through Social Media and shielding ourselves from the outside world, where real connections happen.
If you notice these mannerisms in yourself – or your friends & family, it may be worth committing to the Global Day of Unplugging. which is a 24 hour period – running from Sundown to Sundown which starts on March 2nd/. Take this day to carve out precious time to unplug, relax, reflect, be active, visit the outdoors, and connect with loved ones.
NATIONAL DAY OF UNPLUGGING ACTIVITIES
- As soon as you get up put Your phone in a Box for 24 Hours and don’t touch it at all for a full 24 hours.
- Use today to volunteer which is not only good for the community, it’s good for your well-being too. Everyone one of us should take the time to do selfless acts of kindness which have been linked to a longer life and reduced stress in humans.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE NATIONAL DAY OF UNPLUGGING
- Research shows that 1 in 3 people feel worse anxious after visiting Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and overall more dissatisfied with their lives. To be honest, not every interaction with Social Media is a negative one. But typically, our own experience validates their research. Powering-down for a healthy period of time provides ample time to recalibrate oneself and refocus appreciation and gratitude for the lives we have been given, by living life presently.
- Life – at its best, is happening right in front of you and every day is different from the last. These experiences rarely repeat themselves. Daily conversations are unfiltered and authentic. But if we are too busy with our noses buried in the latest Snapchat story feed, or constantly checking what’s trending on Twitter, we’re gonna miss all of it and remember tomorrow isn’t PROMISHED so make sure you take time to enjoy each and every day.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
