Okay! My kids are off to school; I am not subbing or needing to be anywhere. I have things planned and would like to accomplish some things at home. I eat some breakfast, think of my “productive” day while I am sitting down @ my turned OFF laptop. A small voice inside my head says, “Don’t do it Sandi, no do not check your emails, I’m warning you”!
One unproductive hour later, & I am still face booking, Googling, and forwarding those damn emails to 10 friends so I can win a huge amount of money. Really? Is this small green lap top supposed to dictate my time and make once again for a wasted day? Please tell me I am not the only sucker in the universe that does not get distracted by their computers.
I really should have listened to that voice. That is the same voice that I have probably ignored for many years. Now I understand the word addiction and how the internet can saturate someone’s life. Your brain is on complete overload with all of the games, news, Google, Face Book, Skyping and other interests you may have. We need to stay in check when we feel ours and our kid’s brains are fried.
I really try to stop, turn off the lap top, and just either go outside or sit in my favorite chair & have the sun beat down on my face. When I go outside, I literally surround myself with being in the now and just listen to nature. I have my favorite pigeon doves that speak to me during the morning or I have my creek down a few houses that sends a tremendous amount of pure energy my way. This literally revitalizes me! How simple is that? Just go outside and BE. By doing these simple, yet profound steps my brain immediately turns off and my harmony turns on. This is my connection, and this is how I go back to my source. Being and feeling connected to the outdoors sends that “aha” moment my way.
So despite the laptop sucking my brain dry, when nature and the laptop go head to head……Nature 100-Laptop-0……..Peace
