Our daily lives have become an ensemble of constant contact, where is the “me” time.
The humble mobile phone is now connecting us in so many ways, surfing the net, checking emails, sms and making/receiving phone calls when ever, where ever, no place is sacred.

How often do you find yourself with some spare time, whether waiting for an appointment, the train, a bus, maybe stuck in traffic yet we are driven to/make reply to emails, sms, phone friends or family because our downtime has been chrunched by work and modern society.

Have we lost the ability to relax, to give ourselves a break from the conveyor belt of life.
It’s ok to sit there, thinking about nice stuff, maybe about your partner, family or friends, maybe about how to improve the day by making some positive changes. By having some downtime we can process all those thoughts swirling in our minds.
We don’t need the constant interaction with technology, like anything it’s about moderation, be it food, alcohol and raspberry & white chocolate muffins, we need to define some boundaries and avoid the trap of falling back into regular patterns of behavior.
