Campfire Talks: Benefits of Unplugging

Today Clint and Dr. Parker sit back and enjoy a conversation on what they are learning right now and how unplugging can benefit us spiritually, mentally, physically, and relationally.  Unplugging and taking a break can be especially hard for high achievers but the results of being always on have very detrimental effects on our bodies, minds, and relationship. 

Tips to unplug:

Be intentionally present with your family Don’t check your work email Hire the right people Try something newTry something that scares you a little bitMeaningful memories are created during downtime  

Something Clint is learning right now:

Freedom is a learned skillWant is not the same thing as intent, intent requires action. 

Something Parker is learning right now:

There’s a paradox between planning and being present Hold your plans with a loose grip to be fully present in your life today
