Chances are you have one or more devices within arm’s reach.
Don’t worry you’re not alone!
71% of Americans sleep with, or next to their smartphone according to Bank America research.
We live in a 4+ screen world. We’ve got smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions and e-readers.
Depending on your age, location or lifestyle, the number of screens you view in a day can increase, especially in cities. Other displays include gaming devices, car-related devices or out-of-home screens.
In case we’re unable to stop and look, we’ve also got Siri and Alexa our virtual assistants ready to answer our voice commands.
What’s now possible with technology is impressive.” With resources like YouTube, you can learn how to do almost anything for free.
We live in a world where we can do anything, yet over 90% of people are working jobs they dislike and are unhappy.
2019 is possibly the best time in history yet stress, depression and anxiety are at an all-time high.
The solution? The solution is action.
We must take action.
A few years ago I had terrible anxiety, that got so bad at one point that I thought I would lose my mind. My body was in constant panic mode; several times throughout the day I had mild panic attacks.
My doctor told me, to exercise as much as I could, as it released chemicals that would calm the body. Not to drink caffeine; so I would have a better sleep. And, to read; as it would help focus my mind on something else.
Did I follow his advice?
For a couple of days, yes, but I stopped as I didn’t see instant results.
Looking back now it makes perfect sense that what the doctor suggested would have helped, but at that moment I wanted an instant fix.
I prayed for a solution, the solution came, but I didn’t listen. I kept looking for other ways online and in books.
Then I came across ETF tapping.
Tapping for anyone that has never heard about it before is a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and Modern Psychology that works to physically alter your brain, energy system and body all at once.
It seemed to cure a lot of people.
But again, when I didn’t see instant results, my search continued. Then one day a friend suggested the great results they had obtained from tapping. So I decided to give it another go.
The moment that I focused 100% on tapping is the moment that things started to change. The first few days I did not see much difference, but within a couple of weeks, I frequently went many days without feeling anxious at all.
Then it was gone.
Not until I took action did I see results.
Your Destiny Awaits
Having so much information at our fingertips can be as much a hindrance as a blessing if we don’t take action.
With me, it was overcoming anxiety. With you, it could be something more positive like setting up a website for your business, or doing a course on photography or graphic design.
There are countless things that we can learn and do online to improve our lives, Udemy is an excellent resource, but we need to be aware of the content that we consume.
Over 80% of people spend 4-6 hours a day scrolling through apps.
Don’t get me wrong, connecting with friends and family is fantastic but if you are not happy with your life, then all that time scrolling is wasted.
We all have 24 hours a day, its what you do with it that counts.
Almost every piece of information ever created is on Google. There is no longer any excuse for working jobs you don’t enjoy for 40 years.
Its time to stand up and decide how you can add value to others.
Whatever you want to do, no matter how big the dream now with the internet everything is available to make your dream a reality. Forums tutorials and support is just a few clicks away.
But you must take action.
Take a step of faith today. I believe in you. You have great value to add to this world.
