The 1st Hour... Unplug... Can you?

By

We are in an ATTENTION BATTLEFIELD!
 
Are you like me and have struggled with this? We wake up and the first thing we grab is...... our cell phone!! We are so compelled to see whats going on, what email we missed, who text us, and more importantly, how many likes on FB! When did it become okay to become a slave to anything? Yet, here we are, a slave to our devices, and the dopamine we get from the device. 
 
If you didn't do this how would life be different?
 
Might there be "ME" time, time to breathe, time to read or collect your thoughts before the day is to start and the stresses that come with it! 
 
ideas
  • Devotional 
  • Study Time
  • Exercise
  • Meditation 
  • Read 
We speak a bunch about what we "should" be doing and that we need to "focus" on, but are we! I believe making this change will have huge implications! 
 
We need to set our minds to it and make the changes that make US better, for ourselves, our families, and for our employers. 
 
Maybe its a new month, a renewed mantra, a new year.... Whatever it is for you., put down the PHONE, invest the 1st hour in YOURSELF! Learn, Grow, Clear your mind and get RIGHT for the the day! 
 
Take the challenge... Can you do it for 14 days or more? 
 
 
Questions
What do you think would improve if you did this
 Are you willing to jump in with me on this
 Will you comment, share your HONEST feedback on how this goes? 
 
And maybe for you its starting at a Coffee Shop with your favorite Book, audio book? or Devotional!

Morning Ryan,

My wife falls into that category for sure.  I let the dog out, make coffee and turn on the computer.  After that I do check my cell however, I'm about an hour or two into my day

Hi Ryan,  We have so much information thrown at us on a daily basis, we all need some down time for sure.  Great message.

Hi Ryan J. Orr, Team Title Guy Ticor- 909-767-0718 what a great topic.... I almost missed this post...saw it on a reblog from James Dray .... being a slave to anything is NOT my style.... I have become more balanced.... I have a routine and I stick with it.... my day begins early with a power workout at the YMCA with my trainer.... my phone is always on silent.... I check it periodically....marketing is my focus and I am on many sites.... family surrounds me....

Gotta be reminded of this, and challenge to be better! We can all use the reminders...  & small world, my brother and his family live in Franklin... Great area for sure...

I completely agree. Unfortunately, I am guilty of this. I need to put the electronics away and spend some more time with myself and my family. Thanks for sharing this.

Great post Ryan J. Orr, Team Title Guy Ticor- 909-767-0718 I am so glad I caught it on James Dray's reblog.

We all need to unplug, no matter how difficult that may be to do!

I am here Ryan thanks to James Dray  reblog. I must admit I can not turn back the time.....we live in a connected world....Since I am an Internationally Focused Realtor and have clients all over the Globe, I need to check my emails... I am hardly on FB so that is not a problem or the other social media sites, on the other hand Email is my lively hood and it has worked well for the past ten years...Endre

I can appreciate your comments.. the thought is not to turn off the email or social Media... just not to feed into it immediately as we wake up, clear our minds, make right for the day

Hi Ryan

Well you raise some excellent points, and no doubt there are many who see themselves in your post, as far as checking in on their phones immediately upon waking...perhaps before getting out of bed. I don't do that but within about 10 - 15 minutes of getting up, after feeling the cats and making the coffee, I am generally online but there are exceptions - weekends, company. You've given me something to think about...seriously.

Jeff
