Dinner Mode

When was the last time you were able to have a regular dinner without any interruptions from your phone services and any number of mobile applications? When you are in an airplane, you can put your phone in Airplane Mode so the idea of putting your phone in Dinner Mode is gaining ground online. It is an interesting way to look at unplugging. It will surprise you to find out just how attached you are to your phone and applications. Just try it a couple minutes at a time if it is hard to let go for hours at a time. It is is even good to enjoy Dinner Mode if you are eating by yourself. If you are one of those people that likes to read something on your tablet or phone, try a book instead. There is something quite magical about paper.

Life Lessons

Growing up there were some things that we learned that should be unlearned. One of them being that problems are bad. We all had those problems in math that were a pain to finish.

People without real problems tend to go into making home design mobile applications a or jumping out of airplanes. They are there to help us in life and guide us. Job burnout? It's steering you toward your perfect career. Finding the solution to each problem is what gives life its flavor. Another lesson that we need to let go of is that we are damaged by the past. And it is not true. You are not only as good as your worst. You have to be able to teach your mind to let go by questioning something that might be worrying you. Working hard will not always lead to success. Playing will though. Through playing we learn different strategies and perspectives.
