While spending countless hours of my evening scrolling through social media. Leah of EatPrayWearLove posted a really nice tweet about being connected that got me thinking.
Here are 4 ways that you can really be connected with loved ones.
1. Put the phone away.
I know that when I am with friends or family I always feel the need to keep my phone in hand to text someone back right away. I am going to stop doing this because those texts can wait it's more important to be active with those you are with.
2. Grab the phone and call someone rather than a text.
Sometimes people need a happy smile and laugh to enjoy rather than an "lol" or ":)" It's always real conversation with someone that helps you connect on a personal level.
3. Visit your friends and family or invite them to join along with you and your activities.
I think this one is a little self explanatory, make some fun memories out side of the internet.
4. Send snail mail.
Out of all these ideas, this one has to be my favorite. I know the incredible feeling of heading out to your mailbox and finding some lovely words on a fancy paper and I like to share this feelings with friends.
I challenge and encourage you to get truly connected with those you care about. It's okay to be social on social media,but not every second.
