If you're like me, you have a lot of them AND probably would not want to do without most of them. Think about it: tv, radio, computer, dvd player, game consoles, readers, mini computers, notebooks and, of course, the smartphone. And that doesn't count all the old electronics that are accumulating in your storage areas!
Now, I am the last person to tell you to take an electronic vacation...I have never managed to completely do it myself. But, a lot of people swear by it. What I have done is to limit my exposure on certain days. For instance, checking e-mail only once a day on weekends. Changing what I listen to. If it's talk shows, trying music instead.
Did you know that there is a movement to drop cable? I bet you even know someone who has stopped cable. By the way, with an inexpensive antennae you can get over-the-air stations. I haven't had cable for a long time BUT I do have internet access.
So what am I getting at? I think our electronic things are great, but not if one is constantly tied to them. I suggest you try a mini-vacation, even for a couple hours, or change up what you usually listen or watch. Nothing drastic, just start slowly and if you like the results - feeling less tense, more relaxed, having time for other pursuits - maybe you'll want to continue with more mini-vacations.
