Technology, Training, and Time Off
Well my inbox was flooded after last week's minute and the results are in.
An overwhelming number of you reported missing my voice and several people shared their company actually blocks YouTube.
So, I may continue to experiment with new forms of technology, but this week I'll leave it up to the experts like Ken Blanchard and Barbara Glanz.
My friend Patrick Galvin, over at the Buzz Builder sent me a SLIDE SHOW LINK that had me balling like a baby. This is an excellent training on how one person can spark a difference.
Speaking of training I've been in a one month intensive and I'll be unveiling some new branding soon.
Also, I am unplugging from my computer more over the next few weeks and for the first time in over two years I'll be taking a break from the MMM. This is until June 5th.
However, keep your eyes out because I may surprise you with a teleclass or LIVE training opportunity.
Monday Mindfulness
This month I invite you to join me and unplug from your computer more regularly. If you work in front of your computer try taking some mini-breaks, walk outside of your office, and ignite a new perspective.

Good for you - taking time off and “unplugging” is really important. So many folks just need to spend more time “being” with humans! My guess is that if you asked 100 people of different walks of life, that most would say they spend more time on the computer/tv than with friends/family. We all need that connection to spirit and energy that comes from human interaction, especially with those we love - there is just nothing better.
Have a great week, Jason.

Guilty!

Let’s not forget the cell phone. It is really frightening to walk down a street with people and not be able to give them a greeting (or get one in return) because they are plugged in. Having a conversation with someone is also difficult when they “have to” get this call. Our ancestors would probably think we’re aliens…rude aliens at that. I turn my cell off more & more because I feel I’m missing LIFE.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the link to my Buzz Builder Blog.
Your thoughts about the importance of unplugging are well taken. I actually surprised my mom the other day by calling instead of emailing. We had a great chat. It made me think about all the folks that I email instead of calling. I’ve vowed to pick up the phone more and email less.
I look forward to seeing your new branding soon. Good luck!
Patrick
