What would happen if you unplugged yourself from your computer, smart phone and other technology for a few hours?  Would your world come to an end?  Would you suffer withdrawal?  Many of us have grown so dependent on technology that it is almost like a drug.  I see people texting while driving, talking on the cell phone while exercising, and sitting for hours slouched over their computers lost in a daze staring into the glowing screen.  I try to avoid these behaviors but what about you?  Are you a tech addict?

I’d like to challenge you to unplug for a few hours.  Go outside and look around you.  Spring is upon us!  Take in the sights and sounds of your beautiful surroundings.  Go for a walk and use the melody of the birds chirping to inspire the spring in your step.  Nourish your body with deep breaths of fresh air.  Relax and let go.  It’s okay.  Your computer and/or smart phone will be waiting for you when you return so you won’t have missed anything.  But consider if you don’t unplug.  What do you miss every day by keeping your nose buried in technology?
