Saying NO to your Mobile Phone

Is your MOBILE PHONE running your life ?

Although mobile phones are more than a handy invention, they can be a key STRESSOR, that seriously affects our day to day wellbeing, our sanity, our personal, family and work time.

I suggest we all say NO to our MOBILE PHONE at set times of the day.

I was discussing setting boundaries with a support group for parents & carers when I pointed out, how we can allow mobile phones to seriously invade most aspects of our day to day life. This is more paramount with business owners, high execs. Instant to access and immediate mobile phone answering is very much a normal every day habit. But a very unhealthy one.

I suggested saying NO to your MOBILE PHONE at set times of the day, specifically meal times, after a certain time at night, special occassions even lunch breaks. We all need to switch off even for 5 minutes.

Even if you feel you CANT SWITCH your phone off for EMERGENCY reasons, think about how many calls you take daily, weekly that infringe on your ME TIME, your FAMILY TIME, your QUIET TIME or even worse SLEEP TIME ?

Constantly checking your Mobile Phones including texting can often be a distraction on what is really going on, even an addiction.

Why do you feel you have to answer every call or get back to them asap ?

Mobile phones can seriously invade our personal space ...

If we spent less time answering unnecessary calls, text...we would feel more PEACFUL, have more TIME, ENERGY & FOCUS on what really matters.
