Last December I published a blog post on 23 things to do without your phone
Almost a year has gone by and I have had some success (and a few setbacks) in living more mindfully without my "Designed in California, manufactured in China mobile device"... So here are 23 more things to do without your phone
Attend an Improv class
Go to the toilet
Listen to live music
Describe the location, lighting, people and sound of #3 to a friend afterward
Charge your phone a different room to the one you sleep in
Try Yoga Nidra
Find a copy of your favorite childhood book and re read it
Discuss #7 with a colleague over coffee
Reflect back on all the new year resolutions you've made over the years and see which took and which didn't. Remember this in January!
Choose a dish you'd like to eat and learn to cook it yourself
Share the output of#10 with two close friends
Invite a group of friends around and ask each to bring a board game. Have a game night
Go for a walk in the rain
Go to an outdoor event for a sport you have never been to before
Sitting, place your attention in the soles of your feet. Feel the contact with the ground. Then taking a few moments to feel each part of your body, noticing heat or cool, tensions or relaxation feel your toes, ankles, calves, shins, knees, thighs, buttocks, hips, waist, abdomen, back, chest, shoulders, biceps/triceps, elbows, wrists, palm and back of your hands, fingers, neck, face, ears, hear and scalp. Now, how do you feel?
Out for a meal? Try a dish you have never eaten before
Organize a mixed gender 5-a-side football (soccer for the Americans) kickabout with 3 or 4 teams. Mix it up with #16 afterwards
Watch a foreign language movie (subtitles are allowed)
After your walk in the rain - why not try a fish foot pedicure?
Start or attend a book club
Plan ahead and spend a week waking up without an alarm
Organize a pot luck lunch in your office (you can do this virtually too)
Make your own list and share it with the world
