Week 14 ~
Well, this week, I accidentally went ahead with our challenge but forgot to include you! So sorry! This past week the challenge came by accident. You still have one or two days of this week to complete it however. This week the challenge is to UNPLUG!
As many of you know, this entire year my family has created and participated in DETOX TUESDAYS. That means every Tuesday in 2014 from 5 – 10 p.m. we did not allow any type of electronic in use. NO iphones. NO computers. NO tv. NO radio. NO electronics. And you know what we discovered??? We love being together. We laughed, we played, we TALKED. YES! 2 Teenagers and their parents TALKED. I love Detox Tuesdays.
This past week of Christmas, we had a wonderful spontaneous visit to Naples, Florida to spend a few days with my mom and sister and some other family. The love was overflowing. So was the noise, energy and food! So, I turned off my phone. NO facebooking, NO texting… really just a few instragram check ins (couldn’t help myself) and other than that, I UNPLUGGED. I wanted to spend every moment with my family during this very quick trip. I wanted to be PRESENT. And I was. And it worked. My stress lowered and my blessed raised. (Is that even a sentence????).
So now here I am, thrown back in the everyday world of dishes, laundry, messy house and errands… I guess I have time again to get plugged back in, (haha) and so I offer YOU the challenge now. Take a few days, hours, minutes and just put t
he phone down. Turn off the computer, and sit and be. NO facebook. NO Instagram. NO snapchat. Just unplug from everyone else and PLUG into yourself and relax and enjoy.
