No cell phone. No TV or Tivo. No laptop. No iPod. No Wii or XBox. No PDA. No IMing. No texting. No (so appropriately named!) Twittering.
What would your life be like if you chose to put down all those electronic tools, toys and gadgets and just walk away? Ok, what would your life be like if you did this for ONE day? Then think of that same day with no shopping, with no manicuring of nails, hair, home or lawn, with no multi-tasking and micromanaging at all? Can you imagine the space that would open up?
Maybe you could think about your life. How’s it going? Are you doing what you want with it? Are you living fully and passionately? Maybe you could daydream. What would life be like if you did what you really wanted to do? What would it be like to live somewhere different or work somehow differently? What would it be like if you were living what you love?
Who knows where your thoughts might go? Your life might rush in to fill the spaces left when you turn off the distractions. And all you need is one day.

While on vacation my aunt and uncle scooped up my cell phone by accident…I haven’t had my phone for 3 days! It’s driving me crazy, but it’s also sort of nice…I’m getting used to the silence. It’s amazing how many other thoughts pop in to your brain.
Now the trick is to see if you can voluntarily put your cell phone aside for a day now and then. Your brain needs that time without distractions.
