Reconnect

Disconnecting from technology so we can reconnect to ourselves is absolutely essential for wisdom.

-- Arianna Huffington

More and more support for this sense of things seems to be coming out every day, yet we appear to be as glued to our devices and what they represent to us as ever.  We must be afraid of missing something.  The irony is in what we may be missing in our desperate attempts to not miss out.

Perhaps we can start to war against this conventional wisdom, for the wisdom above, by practicing some of this each day.  The smallest of attempts (like #5) can go a long way towards new habits, which can ultimately lead us to a surprising level of freedom...and, perhaps, real wisdom.
