Welcome back to the daily gratitude minute. This is Scott Colby, helping them have a good day. I want to ask you a question. Are you a fiber? Now you may not know what that word means and that's okay. So it's spelled P H U B B E R. Actually. Didn't know what it meant until a few weeks ago when I was updating.

My keynote and I was doing some research. So the word fiber is a combination of the words, phone and snubber, and it's somebody who ignores the person they're with and kids attention to their cell phone. So I'm going to ask the question again. Are you a Farber? Do you ignore the person that you are with sometimes and give attention to your cell phone?

I do. I admit it. I don't want to do this, but it comes from having some addiction to my cell phone. It's always on me. And I don't always give attention to the person in front of me. Sometimes I'm scrolling on my phone. The problem with that is the person that's being fatigued. Feels rejected. They feel excluded. They feel like they're not important.

So when you do pay attention to the person. In front of you.

That's a sign of gratitude. That's showing that person that you care about them, that you value what they have to say, that you care about your relationship with them. So my challenge to you today. Is to find some time in your day. To connect with somebody in person. But don't have your phone on you. I don't even want it in your pocket.

I don't want it on you when you're physically detached from your phone. It's a little bit uncomfortable. But it will in the long run make you feel better and it will make you more connected to the. The people in front of you and that's what matters that human connection so hope you found value in this go out and connect with somebody leave that phone behind i'm scott colby with say it with gratitude and this has been the daily gratitude minute cheers
