Tech Sneak

Notice when you’re checking your email, text messages and/or Instagram. Do you ever do it around the corner, so your kiddos don’t see? If you’re finding yourself hiding in the closet to check, you’re not alone. It’s tempting. It’s an escape. It’s right there and seemingly so easy. But, things we do while sneaking are not the things we want to keep doing.

When this happens (and it does to all of us), ask yourself:

Why am I checking right now? Be honest when you answer.

• What is the feeling I’m feeling right now the most?

• What do I want to avoid?

• Is hiding the example I want to provide?

• Take a deep breath, set your device down and tune in.

• What do I really need? Notice the answer, then come back to reengage.
