Chapter four,

Slow down.

When was the last time you did anything without rushing?

We can reach out and touch people in numerous ways including the phone,

Email and social media.

Technology offers our society such wonderful enhancements to daily living that we sometimes forget to slow down.

We get up with our smartphones,

Cuddle with them and go to bed with them and sometimes we allow them to dictate all of our daily activities.

Technology is not human and has no discretion or judgment.

Remember to disconnect from technology to fully engage in life and with people.

Set personal boundaries around the time you spend on the phone,

Computer or tablet.

Be sure to schedule or factor in time for relaxation and downtime.

Commit to turning off the phone then enjoying the beauty around you.

If you are with someone,

Enjoy time with the human.

The technology will be there after you're gone.

Practice,

Choose a time to spend alone in nature.

Take a walk and slow down.

Breathe the air and feel the sun against your skin.

Slow down and give every moment your undivided attention.

Affirmation,

I allow my mind,

Body and spirit to slow down and be at peace.
