I’ve Come To An Important Decision

A few months ago, I began to notice that I was becoming stressed about the littlest things. It seemed that my stress was just never-ending, and it was happening all day long. I started to feel very overwhelmed and smothered.

Prior to today, I’ve tried to come up with how to fix this, and I wasn’t able to really decide on anything. Today though, I’ve decided what I need to do, and I hope everyone can agree with this.

Realizing that my stress is being produced by the things I’ve surrounded myself with, I’ve decided that I’m going to remove all computers and gaming consoles from my life, with the exception of my mobile phone.

I’m going to interact with the internet and other people via my mobile phone only. It’s a big decision to be sure, and I know some folks are going to be confused.

Looking at this from another point of view, I know that this is a big shock to some, as I’ve been interfaced with one or more computers since I was in grade school.

For what it’s worth, it’s certainly a shock to me as well. I can’t even comprehend how this is going to change my life, or how it will effect me.

Oh, I’m well aware it’s going to be a difficult adjustment. I find myself reaching for the mouse or the keyboard completely subconsciously now. My hand just naturally moves towards where the mouse should be.

Obviously, I’ll need everyone’s help and support with this. Social City, Farmville, and Cthulhu all run very slow on my Android phone. They work, but folks will have to patient while I navigate around on the screen. Chatting via Facebook will be pretty slow too. I’m sure the blog posts will slow down a lot also.

Luckily, YOU can also get the benefits of doing something like this. I encourage you join in with me, and declare that you are taking a positive step to reduce your stress and increase your health, by removing all computers and game consoles from your life, and communicating solely by your mobile phone.

Surrounding each other with support, and giving each other help, we can do this. It’s going to be difficult, but I know we’re all strong enough. It’s the right thing to do at this time, and I know I can count on all of you to know where I’m coming from.
