Leaving the internet world!
June 2nd, 2010
This is it…today is the day!
In March of 2009, I opted to remove myself from the online world for 34 days and reset my mind, body and soul. I learned several lessons during this initial process including:
1. The internet is highly overrated when it comes to social interaction, being with people in person is much more exciting and energizing.
2. Many people use technology (ie: chat, texting, email) as a means to escape real human interaction and contact. Deep, meaningful relationships cannot be developed on the internet. Yes, people can meet and greet, but the requirement for human contact is a great one and should be encouraged and nutured.
3. When taking time off from the internet, I require an assistant to continue to post my blogs and update various online sites I work with as people count on this information and inspiration daily.
4. I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of age, should close down their technology daily and spend time nurturing the relationships that are important to them. Even an hour a day to have a meal with family can be beneficial.
So this year, I have opted to take off not one, not two, but three months from the internet. My blogs will continue to be updated as one of the blessings of technology is the ability to schedule material and to have someone else post it!
My phone works just fine and I welcome a phone call or even a letter from those who’d like to keep in touch during my time off.
My contact information is on my website at: http://www.CarynFitzGerald.com.
I plan to spend my summer writing, socializing with friends and enjoying loved ones. I encourage everyone reading this to take a few minutes to evaluate the time spent connected to technology and perhaps take a bit of time off for yourself.
Enjoy the 86,400 seconds you have received today!
Blessings for an abundant summer,
Caryn
