October 8: Writing Prompt #281-Bloggers, Unplugged

Sometimes, we all need a break from these little glowing boxes. How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
Let’s see, I know it’s time to unplug when my eyes start hurting and my legs get stiff from sitting.  Lol. Just kidding. I definitely know if my body is hurting that it’s time to take a break, but it’s rare that I ever spend enough time on my devices to get that way. 
Otherwise, I know when I haven’t heard what my son is saying to me (especially if he’s standing right in front of me). I know when my husband asks me a question, and I don’t recall hearing it.  I know when my dog starts whining because he’s not very patient, and he wants to go for a walk (a.k.a. RUN). This is the best indicator because it actually gets me outside and exercising too! J 

What do I do to make it happen? I log off and close down my computer (or put my phone away or my Kindle down.  Period.  I stop what I’m doing and go enjoy real life outside the “glowing box.”  :-P
