As you read this latest blog from me, I will be somewhere across the Atlantic Ocean on a cruise……. A couple of interesting facts will be that I won’t have access to the internet or a mobile phone. Yes, you heard it nearly over two weeks without these aids (my wife calls these devises my pacifiers). The reason for not having this is simply the cost of the cruise liners extortionate prices, and yes, there is the roaming charges also, by my phone provider.
Of course, couple’s therapist will be saying, “Mike this is doing you good, no one can get hold of you, and you will be giving your beloved wife 100 % attention.” A romantic time away and rekindling that spark and time that we wanted.
Yes, of course, this so important, but some questions will be …. will I be in cold turkey having withdrawal symptoms from my devices, how much will the new counselling sessions be costing me on board or the shrinks 1-1, due to lack of my devices, and should I have had paid unlimited access to the internet etc.
Like me do you spend too much time on your phone, tablet or computer and ignore your watch telling you it’s time to stand and get away from the screen……. Have a walk, get some fresh air and re-charge your batteries………Or even your eyes saying please, please I need a break!
You may not have taken the steps I have without any devices…. how about trying a little break and seeing what else is outside and can be done for that time spent sat in front of a screen…. Have a go and see how you get on!
If you see or hear of someone that has been thrown overboard in the Atlantic Ocean without any access to a mobile phone ……. please send a rescue boat to put me back into the 21st century!
