Be More Present: Unplug!

"Be present" is sage advice...how do you do that though?!? Check out my latest YouTube video for one of the techniques I use to be more present and bring balance to my life:

Video Description/Summary:
We live in a time of amazing technology that can connect us instantly. Life is short though and living in this "instant response" mode just quickens the pace. Not to mention the energy-draining, time consuming devices that we spend so much time plugged into. Unplugging is one of the ways that I have been able to be more present. This technique has also helped me to have more energy and open more time in my life so that I can move beyond the daily grind and pursue things that move my life forward in a meaningful way.

I highly recommend:Checking your messages, especially email, in the morning, afternoon and evening instead of continually throughout the day. You might actually find that this makes you more efficient and helps you better manage your time.

Unplug completely one day a week. I usually do this on a Saturday or Sunday. This practice has changed my life!
