Complicated Lives

People wonder today whether our lives are easier with cell phones, computers, Skype and all the technology. Yes, perhaps, easier in that we don’t have to go down to a river source and wash our clothes on some rocks and we can let Uncle Al know if his brother is ill within seconds rather than weeks or months. However, the more important question is whether people are happier. What do you think? I’d say no. With technology comes increase stress and a change in the natural rhythm of life. I often hear clients say they are overwhelmed. There is too much ‘life’ to juggle and figure out and not enough down time to process. Being mindful of your needs for time is really important to your life satisfaction.
