Screen-Free Week April 18-24, 2011

Next week, April 18-24, 2011, is Screen-Free Week. 

Get outside!  The weather is warmer and sunnier.  Daylight is lasting longer.  There are trails to hike, bikes to ride, and seeds to plant.  Even more, there are balls to kick, throw, and catch.  There is tag and hide-and-seek to play.  Still more, there are kites to fly and sandboxes in which to dig.

Or, if you must stay inside, then read a book, play a board game, or draw a picture.  Maybe do a craft, throw a party, or create some fun scrapbook pages.

The link below includes guides, ideas, and resources for Screen-Free Week:

Just turn off that television.  And computer.  And video game.

Need some inspiration?  Now may be a good time to re-read my post about change:  http://thiscounselorsjourney.blogspot.com/2011/01/change-of-scenery.html.  

Or this post about being your best Self:  http://thiscounselorsjourney.blogspot.com/2011/02/are-you-at-your-best.html

 Give it a try.  Let me know how you make out.
