☁️LOOK UP☁️

How many times a day do you *actually* look up? Between constantly on your phone checking social media, checking emails, taking the best photos, texting, online shopping…. are you aware of everything you’re missing out on?

👉🏼 Your kid telling you something important that happened at school that day

👉🏼 Your spouse telling you a story about what happened at work

👉🏼 Your little one continuously asking you to play with them

👉🏼 The overall beauty of everything surrounding you.. the leaves changing colors, the clouds, the birds chirping

Tonight me and the kids we went on a long walk because we were all cranky. It’s just been one of those days. The instant breath of fresh air immediately gave us life. Me being present, gave us life. Me watching my 4 year old live her life everyday “looking up”, gives me life….. it’s such an easy concept yet us adults are too busy looking down. At what? What can possibly be more important than those little people looking up to you, that admire you more than you could ever imagine?

So tomorrow I encourage you to look up. On your walk back to your car late after work, look up and enjoy the stars. Or on your walk to the kids bus stop, leave your phone behind and just t a l k. Or how about something as simple as looking up at the grocery store and smiling at a stranger instead of awkwardly looking down, just to avoid interaction? Be present. Be there. Because I promise you, the ones right in front of you are way more important than anything else you could be looking down at. ❤️
