I believe we are now officially 6 months through 2017. I can never get over how quickly time goes by, you really cannot waste time messing about. If you want something you gotta go out and get it. So, what do you think I am going to tell you today?

Yes, you got it right. Get up, put the phone down, put the video game down, and step away from the XBOX. Go out and live your life in the big wide world. Look up, you do not understand how much time you are missing sitting there on your phone.

When is the last time you went on a walk? When is the last time you made a really important decision after researching an item?

We are all guilty of spending a large amount of time on social media and technology in general, with the constant updates and the high demand for games. Next time you go to check your phone, ask yourself why you don’t go and meet someone instead. Go for a walk, read a book, draw, write, and be creative. Go back a few years to when phones and computers were not common things to have in every room in every household. Build something, dig out the old glue and lollypop sticks.

Stop watching your life running away from you and run after it. It is time to take a step back away from the screens. Have a bubble bath and try something new with your hair. There are a million and one things you can do with yourself instead of sitting in front of a screen.
