Happiness Tip: Unplug

Turn off your cell phone — really and truly, totally off — for several hours today.

Technology can be addictive, and it can change the core of who we are as people. Researchers believe that when we are over-connected to technology (including our email, the Internet, and our cell phones) we can become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful — and even more self-centered. These qualities do not make us happier people or better parents.

Disconnecting from technology can help us reconnect with who we really are, what is truly important to us, and what really makes us happy.

Take Action: This week, designate time to fully unplug. Perhaps you unplug during dinner, or from 9:00 pm to 9:00 am.

Join the Discussion: When will you disconnect?





Friday Giggle

A little Friday fun in the hilarious world of competition among parents. I suppose we all have a little “mompetitor” in us — a great reminder to not take ourselves so seriously.
