Life Is Happening....Disconnect!

3 out of 5 people admitted they spend more time on their cell phones than with their significant others. Do you really need to be on your phone while with them, too? If you haven’t turned off your phone and spent time with your significant other for awhile, pledge to go electronics-free for a night. Your relationship will thank you.

I was at dinner with my husband the other night, we chose to leave our phones in the car. I glanced around the restaurant and 9 out of 10 people were on their phones, playing games, checking FB, tweeting. All had either their significant other, friend, or child with them. Very few looked away from their phones. Very few had real conversations. Only a handful put their phones down long enough to order. Real relationships matter. Real conversations matter! Choose to put your phones away and invest in face to face real conversations.

What Do You Need This Week?

What is one thing you need to focus on this week?  Just one thing.  Do you need to figure out how to set some boundaries so you aren't running all the time?  Do you need to take some time to rest?  Do you need to eat better so you feel better?  Do you need some time with friends?  Do you need to spend intentional time with family?  Do you need to connect at a deeper level with God?  Whatever it is that you need this week, it is within your reach.  Take time to seek that one thing out, make time to pursue it, and before the week is over, know how you will achieve the one thing you need focus on, and then follow through and do it.
