Happy Easter!
As of late my focus has been on stress-proofing my life.
It is hard not to see a direct connection between information overload and digital overwhelm and levels of stress and social disconnect we all experience at times (or all of the times).
Human creatures evolved to band together at times of stress; survival of our species depended on that. This is an instinct we cannot override.
Yet now it is so easy to disappear into the digital world at times of stress; to scroll the phone, the Facebook feed, the Instagram photos. We are still seeking that same connection, the connection that we are hardwired for. We are just looking for it in all the wrong places. There is absolutely nothing - NOTHING - that can replace human to human contact.
So, no Friday Follow UP this week.
Turn it off.
Shut it down.
Unplug.
Disconnect.
Enjoy "face time" with people you love in the real world.
That's my plan (and my homework!) also.
With love,
Julia
