Please Turn Off Your Notifications
I was talking to a member of our kick a** health and wellness team at our Wine and Wellness Wednesday. We were brainstorming about social media and “strategy.”
I’m not big on social media strategy. My strategy in life is love - and I abide in the moment and operate from that place, and from sheer intuition.
So I was curious what she had to say – and open to it - because I have so much fun finding a better way.
She said to me, “The last thing you want is for people to turn off their notifications” (of a group page - or whatever).
Hmmmmmm.
My notifications are always off and all the Wells Pary of 7 are asked to do the same, at least while in the white castle.
I prefer to choose what I look at and read when my Spirit is inspired to do so instead of ding ding ding, some device telling me to do something. You can see why I have never had a lot of fun working for someone else he he.
Soooooo, Please turn off your notifications! Devices and technology are there to help us and inspire us and make our lives more fun, connected and easier. They are NOT there to tell us every few seconds what to do and read and look at. They are NOT there to interrupt the natural flow and rhythm of the Universe and your connection with other human beings who are actually in your physical presence.
Your natural birthright is joy. Don’t make looking at a page – my page or a group page or any other page or whatever – a higher priority than eye to eye contact, a live conversation, a smile, a hug, an outing.
Pull it together people. Technology is there for you, you are not there for technology. It is not in charge of your life and your thoughts, you are.
We all need this reminder from time to time . . . like every four minutes (ding! Ding! Ding!).
