A Break

I’m going to start out today by saying I am sorry. I have been missing the past couple weeks and as such, so have my posts. I took a break and assumed that break included internet but it didn’t. Can you imagine that?

This time off was so surreal and it really gave me insight as to how dependent we are on our electronic devices. This sounds like a commonsense realization but the truth is I never really thought about how much I depend on my phone or my iPad. I mean even for a little things like answering somebody’s question. It is just so easy to Google the answer. I can honestly say I missed having that ability this past week and a half.

So what was it like to be without the use of technology? What did I do with my time? I read, I walked and explored, I breathe clean air and stared out at the water. I exercised more and ate more mindfully. I rested yet woke up earlier. I did not stress about the news or any of life‘s woes. I just was and it felt wonderful.

It is easy To recommend this to everyone but I realize that this is not always feasible nor is it easy to do. I also know that this would not be everyone’s idea of enjoyment. For me, it was needed. And I am not sure I realized that until after it was over. Happy writing this week and may you get the break you need.
