Slow Down!

          Blooming off the Industrialization period, the pace of the world has sped up as whole. Sometimes we forget that we are a part of nature; we forget we are not invincible and we forget we are just like the rest of nature. Humans are one of the only species in the world that has sleep patterns that we have developed. Our days run nonstop until night time where we crash for seven to eight hours and wake up to do it all again.

         Technology has completely changed the way of live all over the world. We have the world through our phone. We have fast pace travel such as planes, and even cars that speed down local motor ways. Technology is a great invention and offers the world great opportunities that we have never had before; however, it is also brining great stress to our society.

          It is crazy, we spend every minute of our day completely packed and scheduled. There is no time for rest relaxation, and personal time. I believe this is a major problem in America. There is no down time. Americans work long days than continue their work day at home. Even the time you have at your home tends to be spent on your phone either talking to someone, checking your email or your Facebook. I believe this is bad for our health and it is leading to an increase in anxiety. I know that I personally do not have enough time just to sit back and relax. Every second of my day is fully packed and I think I am beginning to see the beginning of some of the problems. Sure it does not allow me enough time to get me in trouble, but it does not allow enough time for me to maintain my health.

          I believe Americans will run into big troubles if we do not slow ourselves down. The website below agrees with the fact that Americans should slow down. They website offers a variety of different ways to slow down. The biggest recommendation is to enjoy nature. Go for a walk outside or invest in plants for the house.
