30 days of luck - day 21

I did this only yesterday, so I'm going to claim it for today. I read something that said the average person checks their mobile phone 150 times a day (or close to every 6 mins you are awake - possibly in the Becoming Minimalist blog??). So I turned off all of my notifications on Facebook, Twitter Etc. I still checked it, just not as frequently. It helps to be "present" in the moment with the people you are with.

I love reading in my local paper about people who are selfless and help others. This week, there were people working in the food bank and those collecting feminine hygiene products for homeless women. It's people like that who make our community as fantastic as it is.

I love the Becoming Minimalist blog too! I definitely find myself checking my phone waaay to often! It is crazy that I am actually proud of myself when I leave my phone at home and resist the urge to check it - and then I find that I didn't need it anyway. I think we do open up more to what is happening around us when we ignore our phones - and that's part of the 30 days of luck challenge! Thanks for your comment!
