On Saturday, I shut off my cell phone. I had a stressful weekend and I decided to shut off my phone and spend the entire day without it. I learned some real interesting lessons.

First, I went to the gym. I was able to better focus on my breathing.

Next, I went on a long nature walk. I was able to be more present in the moment and I was able to enjoy the trees and the birds and the place around me.

Next I went to whole foods and enjoyed a nice lunch. When you don't have your phone you observe the world around you much more. I noticed that everyone is on their phones. Everyone is eating alone and looking at their phones.

This got me a little sad because if there is one thing in the world that should bring people together, it should be food.
