Hello ,
How do we relax?
Mostly through the escapism offered by movies, TV, and the Internet.
41% enjoy superhero movies.
Almost all of us like to binge on TV, with 75% saying they routinely watch three or more episodes of a show in a single sitting. We also can’t stop bingeing on our smartphones.
Only 17% said they could go a whole day without checking their device, 31% a few hours, and 8% an hour or less. 88% regularly check their phone while on vacation.
Some 50% admit to tripping over or bumping into things while on vacation because they were so absorbed in their phone. More than 10% reported missing their vacation destination while traveling because they were focused on their phone screens.
I have a SmartPhone, and I didn't bring this data to your attention because I think that people shouldn't own them or use them. However, when our screen-time cuts into our alone-time with our Heavenly Father, perhaps we need to re-assess what we are doing.
How is it with you today? Are you spending some time with your Creator?
Have a great day and God bless!
