Living with people you love can keep you healthy

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In this age where mobiles and gadget rule the roost, the way we communicate on a daily basis has undergone a dramatic change. We have become so dependent on mobile phones that for every task to be done. They also transformed the way we communicate on a personal level and having a significant impact on relationships. A family dinner date has become like a celebratory affair these days- and sadly people at such gatherings are busy in their own worlds and buried inside the mobile Whatsapp or a Facebook conversation.

Mobile Madness

We have become so addicted to mobiles that every feeling and reaction has been going to mobile posting instead of talking to the person instead. The validation which we used to get from a healthy conversation or a long walk is now coming from the number of likes, comments, and shares in social media. The world became so numb to emotions where people are taking selfies in inappropriate situations like funerals or hospitals. It would be shocking to see that even shopping has become a Whatsapp video call affair off late!

Questions to Ponder

When was the last time you ever had a heart to heart conversation with your spouse or family member sans disturbance? When was it you watched a morning flower taking its own course of time to bloom? When was it you heard the chirping of birds during the sunset? – even if these were heard, we are immediately reaching out to our mobiles to capture it all instantly.

Communication for Creativity

It is more than necessary to have one on one interaction with people we are present with because the social bonding starts from the household. Without such healthy interactions, our days become listless. The zeal at work slumps down and creative side gets drained leading to strained relationships. Fulfilling relationships are so important these days and to avoid feelings of self-doubt, low confidence, and depression. Though it sounds very accomplishing to have a long distance chat with your friend over Skype, understanding and empathizing what people near to us are going through is equally important.

Interacting with your own members of living not only clears problems but also helps us slow down in life- in short, it is like a mindfulness exercise to be completely present at the moment and appreciate it wholeheartedly.That is exactly what we do at Estate.One, where we believe in connecting communities and bring people together to share a healthy, positive, involved and active lifestyle.
