CRACKBERRY, BE GONE!

I'm not an early adopter--which means I never got a Blackberry and
never have fallen into the evil Crackberry addiction, like so many
of my friends-in-frenzy. Whew! One more thing I don't have to go
through the D.T.'s to release!
That's why I found "Kiss Your Wife, Not the Blackberry", in the
Sunday 12/2/07 NY Times, gratifying. The CEO of Empower Public
Relations, based in Chicago, issued a ban on employee use of their
Blackberry after hours and on weekends. He reports that after 10
months, his company is a "happier, more productive" place.
In fact, my Wellness Coach, Pebble Beach-based Jo Perron, MD, (with
whom I enjoyed yoga teacher training several years ago) and I set
up a program of mini-meditations for me, because I confess I find
it hard to sit still for more than ten minutes at a time--much less
be the "perfect meditator."
My mission: to become aware, approximately twelve times a day, of
five-minute moments of mental relaxation. That way I get in a full
60 minutes, and I don't have to feel like it's one more thing to
check off my list.
Imagine how a Crackberry would siphon possible meditative moments
into the great digital vortex! We can benefit from mental
relaxation even in bite-sized pieces. We don't have to be on a
beach in Bali to get it.
Studies are proving that multi-tasking (especially talking on the
phone while driving, even with a headset) can be hazardous to your
health. So rather than being available to all comers at all times
(through your invasive electronics), try some mental exclusivity.
Focus on one thing at a time.
