Challenge: Unplug
Challenge yourself to take some time away from technology. Choose an amount of time that will be difficult but not impossible for you (i.e., one meal/hour/afternoon/day/weekend). Consider including television, email, cell phone, internet, and anything else that may serve as an electronic distraction. Are you getting nervous just thinking about it? Have you already ruled it out as being too hard? We have become so used to and dependent upon such things, that it is hard to imagine going without. See what else you become engaged in when such things aren’t present. Other people around you? Nature? Your own thoughts or emotions? Is this something you might want to do more often?
