You walk into a room only to forget why you’re there.
You can’t remember the actor’s name or the movie title you watched only a week ago.
You keep forgetting to take your meds even though you have them written on the fridge.
You write everything down to make sure you don’t forget and then you misplace the paper you wrote it on.
You get a call from the doctor reminding you of your appointment only to get a call a week later asking why you never showed up.
Is it old age? Are you losing your mind? Maybe your house is too disorganized? Whatever the reason you give it, this is an ever-growing problem and it’s not just with people over the age of 55. Even young folks are having the same memory issues.
It’s been proven that our memories are diminishing faster each day because of the one thing many of us rely on, our smartphones. Even though they call these smartphones, they are making us dumber by the day. Before these phones, it was up to us to remember:
Our home phone number
Friend’s phone numbers
Our home addresses
Our social security numbers
How to add 2 + 2 and other practical, simple math
How to spell
Now, these devices do it all for us. If we want to know this information, it’s given to us in a split second all housed within our phones. People will panic more if they can’t find their phone than if their car is missing. We rely on these little devices way too much and it’s starting to show.
We can’t spell after getting out of school unless we have our phones handy.
We can’t do simple math in our heads anymore.
We can’t remember key events if we aren’t given a reminder from our phones.
We forget birthdays.
We lose touch with those we love.
These devices have been proven to cause more sleepless nights than ever before, more stress, more depression, more disconnect, more hate, more miscommunication, and more ailments than anything before it. We are not meant to be on 24/7, nor are we meant to stare at a screen 5 – 12 hours a day. So much artificial stimulation puts our own energy out of balance. We are meant to be:
Connecting face-to-face
Talking on the phone instead of typing
Taking time to move around
Taking downtime seriously
If you want to increase your memory, get more sleep, decrease your chances of getting sick, and be healthy and happy, you need to put down the phone.
I get that you have meetings, people to call, and things to do, but what good will this be if you get sick and now are forced to be down for far longer than one day? Start by putting your phone on Do Not Disturb so that you don’t get calls during dinner or family time. Set up your messaging letting people know that you turn your phone off (you figure out the time here) and you will get back to them tomorrow. Plus, 9 times out of 10 that emergency could have waited until the morning.
Take the time to play a game with your kids, watch a good movie, start reading, enjoy your family time, go out with friends, and take this time to call someone you love. Set time aside to let your inner energy rise to enliven you and use Energy Medicine to assist you in getting in touch with your inner guidance. Get connected with the world again face-to-face— not screen-to-screen.
Here’s to a healthier life one step at a time
