look up

​GET OFF THAT PHONE! I mean it.

Get up, look around. You don’t even realize how much you missed by staring at that device. You don’t even notice that it's been three whole hours, probably just viewing snap stories, or better yet, looking at the same post trying to refresh your feed.

You don’t even realize that this whole world, right in front of you, has so much to take in and offer you, but you aren’t opening your eyes to it because you always have your head down in the phone.

Do you realize what you could be doing right now? All the adventures you could be taking?  You could be living in the moment, and making so many different memories, in this VERY moment, if you just PUT THAT PHONE DOWN!

Come on... put the phone down!! 

Have a beautiful conversation with your family instead of scrolling through Selena Gomez’s Instagram feed. Put that phone down when your parents ask you how your day was (I know, but it's not really that bad!). If you put that phone down you could have finished your homework at least two hours ago, but it keeps distracting you.

You were still on the phone when you should have been sleeping.

Don't you see that this is getting addictive?  Put the phone down and talk to others. Be a person who has a life, where their device isn’t in their hand twenty-four hours a day, and where it doesn’t consume them.

​Of course, you're most likely reading this on the phone.  So, after you finish, look up, look around, and think what else could I be doing? Observe your entire space. Think how great it feels to look up. Take everything in.  You will be much happier.
