Media fast

HELP!!  our world has been taken over by  hand-held objects!


We, as well as our kids, are most likely hinged to some gadget.  Our phone, game, computer, IPad, GPS, clicker etc etc have all taken over a large part of most peoples lives and it's beginning at an earlier age all the time!
I'm asking that you declare a time of "media fasting"  by turning it off, putting it away and determining to loosen the grip it has on your life.
        Who holds the controls?  I'm thinking that just by reading this many of you have already thought up 3+ reasons as to why it would not be possible.  That is the first symptom!
        Pick a day this week and declare everything will be turned off between the hours of   _ am to_pm    Too radical?  Decide at all meals that the phones etc will be OFF during the entire meal.  No getting up and answering.   Decide that car time is NOT phone time....grocery shopping time is NOT phone time. 
        Make yourself aware of just how many hours a day are spent looking at your phone, computer or games.  
        You are the ONLY one who can take time back.  
 Spend time taking a walk with your husband, playing a game with your child and/or having tea with a friend.   You will be empowered! 


I DOUBLE DARE YOU


Blessings!
