There is something about being present when you are with people. When you are always on the phone or being distracted by it, it takes something away from life. With all the technology, we are in one of the most connected times. But, with that connectedness, we really are also in one of the most disconnected times. People are more glued to their devices than really paying attention to the people and situations around them.

When you feel that urge to check your phone when you are with people, don’t. Just be present in the moment and enjoy what is going on around you. Those notifications will be there when you are done.
