I have a confession to make, I'm not naturally a great listener. My mind wanders, I think about what I'm going to say next, I get distracted by my phone, etc. I want to be a better listener. It's something that you can learn, but it takes practice.

Everywhere you go, people are looking down at their phones, watching other people living their best life. I do it myself sometimes. We sit there watching people explore the world, fall in love, having fun with their friends, celebrating special occasions... We're just feeding our FOMO. And ironically, the more we sit there scrolling, the less living we're doing and the more we're missing out on. Don't get me wrong, social media isn't all bad. There are some great accounts out there with some uplifting posts. It starts to be a problem when we follow accounts that make us feel bad about ourselves and when we spend too much time online. So, why don't you put your phone down for a while. Watch the world go by around you. Do something fun. Be spontaneous. Look up!
