Technology and the accompanying advances have made our lives infinitely more productive and interesting. Among the advances are I-phones, smart phones, tablets, remote monitoring and setting of home alarms. While we cherish most of the things we can do, how many times do you wish you could get away from the phone calls, emails and your instant accessibility. Do you ever leave your job behind? How many new programs have you had to learn? Do you have enough passwords and can you remember them all? How frustrating is it when a machine will not allow you to talk with a human being to conduct business? Business which could be consummated in five minutes by talking with a human being takes days because you cannot hold the phone indefinitely. It seems that many technological advances cause side effects that lead to incessant stressors.

Take back your tranquility as much as you can. It is ok to leave some of the gadgets behind. It is ok to not be reached by phone some times. Schedule in your de-stressors and maintain your commitment to de-stressation.
