Well it's Monday; were you running around like crazy today trying to get your week started? Phones going off like crazy, texting every 5 minutes or so and getting stuck in traffic of some sort? Have you ever stopped and thought about what it would be like to live before we had all this technology? Think about how peaceful it was and unrushed life was. To get somewhere you went by horse and it could take a week; today you can hop on a plane and be there in 2 hrs.
In my attempt to slow down life a little and remove some stress we recently cancelled our cable and our texting! Your probably thinking OMG.....how can you survive? It's been very quiet around here. Now we still have a television and we use netflix; which is much easier to control what the kid's watch. I'm not talking about going back to the stone ages; just reducing a little bit of the fast life.
We, as a society, have removed ourselves from being personable with people; it's all email, facebooking or texting. A human voice is very nice to listen to once in awhile and while you can 'unfriend' someone on FB you can only avoid a phone call so much; they have your number!
So look around and see if there is even 1 thing you can do to de-stress your life a little. Maybe it's listening to only classical music while you're in traffic, not playing games on facebook or maybe it's a little more drastic like me and cutting out texting all together. It has done wonders for my spiritual life as well as my mental one! -CiCi-
