Calm, Cool, and Connected: 5 Digital Habits for a More Balanced Life

I found that changing my habits really does change my life. In Calm, Cool, and Connected, Arlene Pellicane has written a very helpful book about developing deeper relationships with God, our families, and others. By connecting personally, and using our electronic devices in a more moderate way, we can experience a more peaceful and balanced life. Inside this book are many practical tips and useful ideas for using electronic devices more mindfully. The advice given has helped me to be intentional when browsing the internet, apps and social media. Arlene gives scripture verses to help us understand the importance of choosing what really matters. I have become more aware of what is going on around me. I'm okay with not constantly checking my phone. My relationships are improving because of spending more face to face time, and as I'm personally interacting with those around me. I am able to focus on important matters with less distraction. I'm noticing my stress level to be less, as well as having more energy and productivity. Putting the tips and practical applications into practice is not difficult. Arlene presents an easy 5-step plan to incorporate into my daily routine. These five habits have given me a calmer sense of being, as I have felt more focused and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend Calm, Cool, and Connected. It is a short book and an easy read with a wealth of information. Everyone needs to read Calm, Cool, and Connected. It will make a difference. *Disclaimer: I am blessed to have been able to read and review Calm, Cool, and Connected.
