We need our phones, don’t we? But hey, we can get totally addicted to it without even thinking so here’s a small list of ways to break the addiction:
- To start, try and check your cellphone once every hour.
- When you don’t absolutely have to have your phone by your side, put it somewhere you can’t easily reach it.
- Tell yourself “Stop!”. Ever said you’re going to “just check your phone real quick” — and then an hour goes by? (No, you did not discover time travel.) You check email, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram… And by the time you’ve done all that, it’s time to check email, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram again. You may call this your “happy place.” Researchers call it a “ludic loop.” It’s what slot machines are designed to produce. > The “ludic loop” is this idea that when you’re engaged in an addictive experience, like playing slot machines, you get into this lulled state of tranquility where you just keep doing the thing over and over again. It just becomes the comfortable state for you. You don’t stop until you’re shaken out of that state by something. < So something happens and you’re shaken out of your dream state. That’s when you go, “It’s been an hour?!?!” So what you want to do is make sure you have that interruption planned ahead of time so you don’t go down the rabbit hole and spend three whole hours hanging with the rabbits.
- Replace the habit of using your phone for everything and try and read a book, do something else, clean something, play something… and avoid your phone as much as you can.
Enjoy your life! ♥

My almost 4 year-old has enjoyed so much the “My Bible Sticker Bakcpack” by Thomas Nelson. A while back, I went to the Christian bookstore to see what else can I get to keep teaching the stories from the Bible to my little daughter and found this colorful book.
La belleza de las flores ♥ no tiene fin y señalar apenas 10 flores suena un poco injusto ¿no?, pero revisemos juntas esta lista de las más bonitas según algunos medios internacionales:
Ciertamente hay colores para cada estación o temporada. En el invierno, por ejemplo, van los más oscuros, los rojos, los metálicos y en verano los fuertes y eléctricos, en primavera los pasteles y, ¿en otoño qué?
La riqueza del idioma español es, sin duda, una de las cosas que hacen de nuestra lengua, una de las más hermosas del mundo.
