This week, we are offering some tips for developing your connection with loved ones, coworkers, and friends without over-using smart phones, internet, and other technological aides.
We recognize internet connection is a vital aspect of conducting business, staying up-to-date with family members who love across the country from you, and helpful with productivity. This blog series does not have a goal of disconnecting you from technology; however, by being purposeful with your use of the internet, you and your loved ones can have a greater sense of connection.
TODAY’S TIP:
Practice storytelling regularly.
Storytelling is a wonderful craft. By practicing storytelling, you and your family and friends are not only being creative, but you are actively practicing critical listening skills, critical thinking skills, and storytelling can be a lot of fun! Even if you do not have the greatest imagination, re-telling stories about the first date with your partner, telling about the birthday party of one of your children, or even a story about a former supervisor is a great way to get started with storytelling.
