11 Simple Ways to Nurture Meaningful Connections Offline
“Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to and disengage when you need to.
Technology is a good servant but a bad master.” ~Gretchen Rubin We live in truly extraordinary times. Where once letters and telegrams took days to reach the other side of the world, we can now send messages and emails at the push of a button; and social media has allowed us to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, helping us learn, grow, and aim for the stars.
The advancements in technology and science have afforded us such a vast array of benefits that it’s hard to argue with their cons.
Yet our relationships, the very fabric of human existence, have deteriorated proportionately with the rise of technology and its increasing usage in daily life. We now need reminders to disconnect ourselves from smart phones, tablets, PCs, and all sorts of gadgetry in order to just make time for ourselves to rest and tune out from the information overload. Photographs of families gathered around the dining table, intently looking into their smart phones, might make for amusing viewing (and ), but they paint a picture that is not far from reality.
