Disconnecting From CELL PHONES Taking a SOCIAL MEDIA Break - EP9

In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of disconnecting in an always-on world. Remember the days when calling someone after 8 PM was a big no-no? We explore how life has shifted from those unspoken rules to the constant connectivity of today, and why it's more crucial than ever to step away from our screens. Join us as we share personal stories of finding flow through hobbies, reconnecting with nature, and the mental rejuvenation that comes from simply being present. Whether it's putting down the phone or escaping into the wilderness, discover how disconnecting can lead to a richer, more balanced life. Tune in for tips, reflections, and a little humor along the way as we encourage you to embrace the power of unplugging.

Transcript

I mean, that's one of the benefits of putting your phone down and disconnecting, you know what I mean? You're away from it, your mind's not thinking about it, and if it is thinking about it, you know, Oh my gosh, this bill, that bill, whatever, you know? There's nothing you can do about it. You got no service.

You need to allow  yourself 

to disconnect. 

Yeah, I agree. Super important. I think, have you ever just heard dead silence? 

Yes. 

You just literally sit in the middle, on the top, anywhere on a mountain, even just in the remotest woods you can find.  And there's just not a damn sound. Yeah, it's just dead silence. I love that.

Me too. I love that. 

 What's up? What's up guys? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Yeah. What's up? What's up?  The 90s were a good time. Another day, another podcast. Another day, another episode. Yeah. What are we going 

to talk about today? Today, we're gonna do a little talking about disconnecting. Disconnecting. And I know you're probably like, what? 

What does that mean? Does it mean like unplugging my phone? More like leaving 

your phone at home. There we go. Yeah. 

Getting away from the phone. Yeah. And everything that comes with it.  Do you think people disconnect enough these days? No. I don't think people really realize, I feel anyway, I don't think people realize how important it is to truly disconnect. 

Put that phone down, whether it be for an hour or a week, you know what I mean, and forget about it. 

Yep. Just live your life. Forget about it. When you think back, even 20, 25 years when we were much, much younger, you know, there were certain hours of the day you couldn't contact people. Exactly. Like you'd either catch them at home as they're getting home throughout the day they're at work.

So you didn't call them then. And then after 8 PM, you did not call someone's house. Nope. So you had a window from five to eight to connect with people. It was like 

an unspoken rule. 

Yeah. Yeah. And if you did call after eight, you weren't trusted, you were off the block party list. Why are you calling so late, bro?

Yeah, like what do you need? Unless it's emergency. Yeah, yeah. Most people would usually be like, are you okay? Like, yeah, I just want to talk after eight.  What is wrong with you? Yeah, nowadays it's like 11 30. Hey, what's up? Hey, what are you doing? You want to hang out? It's 11 30. I'm sleeping.  

I work tomorrow.

Cause I'm old. Right? Yeah.  Disconnecting. So what does disconnecting mean to you? 

To me? Yeah. It means achieving a state of, I guess, focus, or you could say flow on something else with minimal distraction, basically no distraction. Right. And not worrying about, like, if I'm missing something or if someone's calling me or something like that.

The biggest one for me when I disconnect, um, cause I like to keep myself pretty busy, but I still allow myself moments to disconnect, um, is in music. Music actually. Nice. Yep. I'll sit in. The office,  not work office, home office,  that'd be funny. Just sit in an office and play the piano. Could you imagine a work office?

Just now, you know what kind of manager he is.  Yeah. I sit at home.  I sit at home, uh, playing the piano and singing to my cats. 

That's fair. Hey, right. No judging here, 

but yeah, I find sometimes. Like I throw my phone away for an hour and I just yeah, I go through this list of songs I like and I I find it pretty easy to achieve a state of Flow as most some people like to call it as we talked about in other episodes and mentioned Camping getting out in nature touching some grass Yes, I love touching grass  and being like, Ooh, wow.

This is soft grass. Yeah. Soft grass. Is this  Blue Montana grass? Is that a grass? I have no idea. I don't know grass.  I was like, that's a cool name.  I know there's types of grass. Oh, a hundred percent. But Yeah, I don't know what they're called. I know of crab grass, crab grass, but I have no idea why it's called crab grass.

I don't even know. I don't even know what it is, but i's heard it too, the kind of grass. I know.  the only kind, but yeah, so getting out nature, um, getting away from the city, I think getting super refreshing to.  Get away from society a little bit. But for me personally, uh, disconnecting is finding myself in a place or a situation where I can just mentally let go if you know what I mean.

And some people are probably like, what? What the fuck does that mean? Mentally let go? Yeah. Where you just stop thinking about everything you have on the go in your life. Yeah. So yeah, that's disconnecting to me. Nice. What's disconnecting to you?  

Disconnecting to me, would that be, I mean, honestly, much of the same.

A lot of emphasis on getting away from the phone. Yep. And all the social media. 

Honestly, if it wasn't for this podcast, I would delete all social media. Yeah. 

Disconnecting also to me has a lot to do with getting out of the city and being in nature. I don't necessarily, I guess, relate it with finding a way to disconnect at home.

Yep. I think my disconnection happens in the wilderness. That's fair. You know what I mean? I think it's super important just to, for myself anyway, get out there without the phone, social media, uh, and just do what you love to do. Yeah. So, I mean, I go out there and I'll go fishing or hiking or, you know, I'll just take a walk through the trees sometimes and just look at everything.

Trees are cool.  Yeah. A hundred percent. I mean,  not even that trees are cool, just, I don't know, just in awe of everything. Cause trees are cool.  I agree. Anyway. Yeah. So just focusing on clearing my head, refreshing my mentality and, you know, just getting that  Positive mindset back. Yeah, because obviously we know, you know, living in the city working in the city that gets beat down It does it really does by numerous things.

You know what I mean? 

And sometimes  Just got to get away from it Driving downtown can be such a nightmare. Oh my god Yeah, and I think that's a why I found a way to successfully disconnect at home. Mm hmm Cuz I mean, that's yeah. Yeah living right downtown the city Um, it, it takes 25 minutes to half an hour to get out and get back in.

So on a weeknight, I  mean, I have to work the next day pretty early. So that's, that's an hour just to get in and out. So I've had to find ways to like disconnect within my house, but I can tell you  when I'm at home compared to like, yeah, going out in nature and like going on a camping trip or something that I love to do, or even going to the lake for an evening.

Um,  The difference in disconnection is massive. Oh yeah. Like, like one at home with a piano and whatnot, it, it clears things up and I can like focus on, you know, next week or what's happening. I feel like it's more. Realigning for what I need to get done at work. Right. But when I'm in the mountains, or camping, or just out of the city, it's a lot more, like, natural reconnection.

Mm hmm. Yeah. So when it comes to disconnecting, I, I know for myself, I usually anticipate, you know, my days off, so I can have those moments and just, you know, clear my head, but there's nothing more exciting. than knowing that you have a camping trip or something out of the city coming up? Yeah. 

Oh man, it's the only thing I think about until it, until it happens.

Until it happens. You know what I mean? The closer it gets, the more and more I think about it and then the day comes and I'm just like, 

you know what I mean? The city just drives me insane sometimes. 

Yes, it does. I think it makes it hard sometimes too because living in the city and knowing that you're going to get out of it and that we can't all the time, it just feels so good. Yeah. That leading up to it, there's this huge anticipation that, yeah, I'm going to get to disconnect from, you know, city life for a while.

It's going to feel great, but it can make the day to day hard.  Yes, it can. Yeah. 

Especially once you get a taste for what that disconnection feels like.  Holy smokes. That just makes. Every obstacle or what whatever so much harder in my mind, you know what I mean? Because I know how good it feels for myself to disconnect and get in nature.

And so the anticipation of that feeling just makes it 10 times worse. It does. You know what I mean? I mean, that's one of the benefits of putting your phone down and disconnecting. You know what I mean? You're away from it. Your mind's not thinking about it. And if it is thinking about it, you know, Oh my gosh, this bill, that bill, whatever, you know.

There's nothing you can do about it. You got no service. And you're out 

of the city.  So forget about it. Life could be burning down and you're like, wow. That's a nice tree. It's so nice out here.  Look at that cloud. And 

so if you're listening, you'll probably wonder what they're doing right now. 

We're staring at the clouds.

Like 

this.  That's what we do all day every day when we're out there. That's the reason we go out there. Just connection and cloud watching. Yeah. You've never  , . 

You've never experienced clouds till you've watched clouds.  , cloud spotting with Corey and Kale,  . You know what I think's 

ridiculous. What? No judgment if you do it.

No judgment, but birding,  . Hey, birds are cool. I mean, not the ones that live here.  What are you talking about Besides the blue jay and the bald eagle, and.  Maybe the great horned owl the bird of alberta. Yeah that one too. 

We got way off track Yeah, because you know, we just got talking about nature, but I mean hobbies can be part of disconnecting I think hobbies are a big part of disconnecting totally so to like tie that in.

Yeah, I think I think you know what? I'm sure there's a lot of birders out there that they can probably achieve a state of like flow And they're just out in nature. Well  Think of how focused you have to be to distinguish between different bird calls I think anything that allows you to kind of like refresh from the day to day life Mm hmm I think it's very beneficial right because I know whenever I go out camping even if it's just for a short trip It makes the next little while easier.

Oh, yeah, cuz you're like, you know what? Yep. I went out I relaxed I think relaxing is the big part. Obviously, that's why you do it, right? Which okay. So here's the thing You  Talking about it the other day. Mm hmm. I would much rather take the set weeks of vacation I have right now in career life and spread them out through multiple weekends in a year to do multiple camping trips.

Right. Then the people that save up all year, put all their vacation together for two weeks and go somewhere else.  To me, I don't think I could have one two week vacation a year. Like sure you're traveling around seeing the world, but sometimes I feel like it's two weeks. And then I started thinking about it.

Maybe my problem with not wanting to travel and see the world isn't because I don't want to, but maybe it's because I don't want to have it tied to two weeks every year  where the rest of the year I just have to always be at work doing things, you know? Yeah. Yeah.  And I like that refreshment of being out and about every couple of weeks.

Oh, a hundred 

percent. Hey, I get it, man. You know what I mean? Just.  Even like you said, heading out for the evening, you know what I mean? Clearing your head, getting rid of all that negative shit and get out of here. Yeah, exactly. Just doing what you do, doing what you enjoy doing, you know, and whether it be going to the lake or going to a golf course outside the city or whatever you 

enjoy to do.

And here's the important thing. We're gonna give you some advice.  We said we don't give advice, but you know what? We've started recently in some episodes giving advice, and I think it's important. You need to allow  yourself to disconnect. 

Yeah, I agree. Super important. I think when you're having this, when you're given this time to disconnect away from everything, it's super important not to feel guilty about sitting there.

Correct. And Doing nothing or whatever it is you're doing to disconnect. You know what I mean? Something that you may not feel or that voice inside your head may not feel is Hey, well, you know, you could be doing something more productive. Well, guess what? I think you're doing something pretty damn productive.

Yep. You know what I mean? You're focusing on you  You're focusing on refreshing your mentality resetting your mindset. Yep, and just getting back to a more positive place. Yep. That's 

pretty productive. If you ask me, I think so too. And in the age of mental fitness and like making sure that you're taking care of yourself because it's a big focus and it's a good focus and it should be a focus in the right ways in the right.

Yes, of course. Um, but yeah, I find a lot of people don't allow themselves to disconnect. Like I remember the first time I did any trips into the Rocky mountains, Where we had no service, I couldn't contact anybody. I went through days of anxiety. 

Did you? Yeah. Oh wow. Like the 

first couple times, like years and years and years ago.

Right. Um, because yeah, it was always like, I was always so connected and is this being done? Is that being done? Is, like, what's happening? Like, is my house burning down? We went on multiple trips many times. Right. Nothing ever happened. Mm. I definitely feel for those people out there who are like, yeah, but I want to get away, but I'm gonna,  Have a work night, or I'm just going to check in for two hours.

No, just, just don't. I was watching a podcast the other day on, um, the diary of a CEO channel, but he was basically talking about like, yeah, like me and my wife, we're going to go away for three days. We've told everybody at our jobs, like, don't bother us, but we're still going to do like little work sessions while on our vacation.

I'm pretty sure he was interviewing Simon Sinek, probably. Cause I love Simon Sinek.  Um, But yeah, no, it was Simon and Simon was like just don't if you told your team you're gonna be gone for three days Be gone for three days. Bye. Bye and i'm like, yeah I figured that out years ago where if you're like, hey, i'm gonna be gone monday through wednesday or monday through friday I have no contact.

I'm not gonna be in a place where I can help best case scenario. So it took me a couple times When I first went on these kind of trips to just leave it all behind. And it, again, it sounds easier said than done. It 

gets easier over time, but it does. It is hard at 

first. Yeah. Cause you're like, ah, what if somebody needs something?

But then I kind of like to think back to like, even my childhood, um, you could only contact people at certain times during the day. And they were either busy or they were out or they weren't home. Well, cause 

majority of the time we grew up, there was only the home phone. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yep.

Well, they're busy. At some point along the line, there was those Nokia handhelds.  Remember 

those? But still tied into the home phone. Yeah. Oh, 100 percent still tied into the home phones. Like colorful ones. They would light 

up. Motorola razors. Good times. Good times. But yeah, you know, so you could only, you know, everyone knew that everyone's working during the day, so you can't call it.

Can't call, and you didn't call people while they were working. That was not a thing. Because they were focused on working. Exactly. And there was only work numbers. 

You can't be calling their work number all fucking day long. There's only certain times of the day you can contact people and get in touch with them.

And now, thanks to our cell phones,  you're always on. You're always connectable. You're always reachable. And it's too much. It 

is. Anybody can contact you wherever you are. You know what I mean? Wherever you are, however you are. 

Yeah. Whoever you are. Depends on what you're doing. That's true. Oh! Once you allow yourself to disconnect. 

I do think there's sometimes guilt that comes with it. Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah, like you said, Oh, I could be doing something better with this time, or maybe instead of taking an hour or two, or even two, three days for myself, maybe I can put it towards other efforts, and like, maybe I can do other things to get ahead or be better.

Yeah, 

because I feel like with where society is at right now, there's a lot of negativity towards, Taking that time to yourself to basically do nothing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Self reflection. And a lot of people are like, What are you doing? Why? Why, why are you doing that? It's a waste of time, you know?

Get something done. Do something. And it's like, well, unknown to you, I am. You know what I mean? Up here. 

I'm doing something up here. Yeah for myself 

and again. Yeah, I mean those those people just just don't understand You know, you can try and explain it to them all you want, but it's just a waste of your energy  The kind 

of people that are like i'll have time to relax when i'm dead Yeah, or i'll have time to relax when I retire or you know Whatever, you know what I mean?

You're like, when are you going to retire? 75? Yeah. Because it's not going to be 65. Nope. Not with how the world is right now. No. Good 

luck. No. Who knows if we'll even be able to retire? 

You know what I mean? To not get on a completely different topic. Again. Again.  This one isn't about birds. Um, I don't ever see a point in my life where I'm going to retire. 

Like I plan on actively doing something, but And like we've talked about before was we don't necessarily know what that something might be But I think if you can take control of your time And be doing other things or projects Podcasts Um, I don't know working for yourself  There's a whole pool of things you could be doing things yeah, and if you can find ways to do things that you enjoy doing and Make money off of them somehow.

If you enjoy doing them, do you really have to retire from them? Oh, hell no. Yeah. No, 

I just meant from like mainstream. 

Yeah, 

yeah. But, um, hell no, man. Yeah. No, if you truly enjoy doing those things, even when you're 75. Yeah. Hell yeah. Rock on, man. That's awesome. You know what I mean? It's, it's awesome that it would, you know, someone would still have that passion at that age.

And I think, you know,  

Go for it. Yeah, because I feel like a lot of people they they save up they save up for retirement Yeah in more ways than just financially. I don't think like oh, oh, sorry I was gonna say yeah when I retire i'm gonna do this this this this this Why can't you just figure out a way to live a life where you can still do all these things?

Yeah, but you know, yeah 100 that's my goals. Yeah. 

Yeah, I don't think retirement necessarily means Sitting around waiting to die sitting around getting old facts. You know what I mean? You It's I think you know if you're still physically able to I think it's a good time to Yeah, truly do the things that 

you wish you were doing while you were at work Yep, you know what I mean?

And I just think it makes more sense if you can figure out a way to do that sooner Yeah, so not necessarily retiring exactly you hear all these entrepreneurs and stuff and they're like I retired at 35 Yeah, 

i'm a millionaire. Yeah retired 

35. It's like, okay. What do you do? They're like, oh I travel the world and manage my business from all over the world You  You manage your business from all over the world, but you're retired? 

Hmm. So you're still, so you're still working. Yeah.  So, yeah. That's how I feel about it. Yeah. Just to go off on a complete tangent, but No. Hey, I get it, man. Yeah. 

Yeah. So if I can find a way to make money from fishing, you guarantee I'm gonna fucking try and 

figure that out. Yeah. Do it. Mm-Hmm. . But yeah, going back to what we were talking about before, the retirement tangent, , um, just, just allowing yourself to disconnect and not feeling bad about it.

Mm-Hmm. . 'cause you shouldn't feel bad at all. No. You're doing a good 

thing Yeah. For yourself. Yeah. 

And you shouldn't feel bad about taking time for yourself. Mm-Hmm.  To like mentally recharge even reconsider some things you you have going on in your life Like if you feel stuck or at a dead end, like just just sit outside touch some grass Take a book with you and like yeah I find it super helpful sometimes to write down like, you know what I think's going well in my life right now What are some things I want to change and then I kind of start to put together a timeline Right of when I think i'd like these changes to happen, right?

Yeah, and as long as a pandemic doesn't come along You It's pretty easy to stick to your plans. Have you ever had a problem allowing yourself to disconnect in all your experiences? Oh yeah. Yeah. 

Oh, a hundred percent, man. Yeah. No, I've, I've had that phase where I would go hiking or fishing and my dad and I would hit these spots where there's no service.

Cause that's where, that's where all the good stuff is, you know, good fishing, good hiking, everything, good camping. And, um, the best parts of life.  

Are where service can't reach you. Yeah,  that's my new slogan  

I'd find myself thinking about oh Man, who's texting me? What am I missing? What's going on back at home?

Oh my gosh, what's happening? You know what? I mean? I felt like I was missing a little part of me because I didn't have that connection to the world and everyone else, you know what I mean and I  I mean it didn't take me too long to get over cause I realized that this is a good thing. But I think part of truly immersing yourself in The experience is, um,  remembering where we came from.

Facts. You know, just as a species, like the base foundation. Going back to that and remembering our roots, not even as like a culture, but just as a human being. Mm hmm. You know what I mean? Yep. Um, because there was a point in time where We walked everywhere as a species, you know, there was no cars, trains, planes, bikes, scooters, rollerblades, nothing to get you along faster, but your feet, you know? 

And people 

lived out there for centuries. Once upon a time you had to learn to live off the land that was around you. Yeah. And I mean, we're, we're on a planet. It's very living, very active. And I think a lot of people have been so disassociated from that experience. Yeah. That's why I love going into the middle of nowhere, no cell phones, you just, you have to, it forces you to appreciate everything around you.

Exactly. I was just 

going to say that it forces you to appreciate the small things. Yep. You know what I mean? Yep. Because we,  We can turn a blind eye to the small things, especially when stress and anxiety and frustration start to pile up. You know what I mean? The small things become  

obsolete. 

They don't matter.

We're just like, even as I've gotten older, I've come to realize that getting out of this city, like when I was younger, all I wanted to do was live in a city, be in a city because it has all the stuff, all the things, all the places, and you're like, yeah, city life, but the more you get immersed in that, I feel you can either get really lost in it  or.

You yearn for the woods. Yep  Yearn for the woods. I like that but it's true Like you go out into nature and I mean it is amazing to be in certain places and just look around you're like this is crazy like Sometimes when i'm driving through the mountains, I just look at them and i'm like that's just layers of rock Yeah that's been pushed up or especially like if the layers bend you're like, how do you bend rocks?

That's ridiculous. Yeah, that's so much pressure. What I 

think is really cool. Yeah As you go along the mountains and you see these big giant stones and you see those like thin layers Yeah, and all the stones. Yep at one point that was the seabed it was or some kind of bed underwater Yeah, you know what? I mean?

I think that's really frickin cool. It is 

cool. Yeah, and I think it's Fun to still be in awe of things like that. Mm hmm people like I can look at downtown Edmonton. I'm like, oh cool skyscraper Wow, look at all the layers But it's it's man made it's constructed. I wish godzilla would come through and just freaking wipe it all out  I think we're too far from a shoreline for godzilla.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, something not 

something not mothra aliens. Come on Yeah, let's go mothra could take us out knock this shit out, man. Yeah Let's just push over buildings. Yeah, it's it's you know what me as a person I feel like I would have thrived better if I was born back when  Native Americans were still doing their thing.

If I was born into a Native American tribe, or something of that nature. You know what I mean? I feel like times were easier. They were simpler. There wasn't all this toxic 

nonsense. It was a lot of more community based stuff. Like you had to go out. That's all it was. It was, it was survival. 

Everybody knew their community, you know, everyone was trading or bartering or helping each other out.

Yeah. You know 

what I mean? It's yeah, it was nice. Or it feels like it would have been nice. Right. You know, and like you talk to people and they're like, Oh, well, then we wouldn't have all this stuff. You know what? The great thing about. Way back when was that I didn't even we we didn't even live through but just thinking about it Not having the stuff like I think stuff and things and status if have corrupted people Oh 100 because it's just like me me like why do billionaires have to exist? 

Yeah, who needs a billion dollars? 

You know what I mean? And that's what i'm talking about A lot of people they forget about the basics. Yeah, and all the joy that the small things can bring Because they're just so invested in Getting all this cool stuff stuff 

and things and status. Yeah, this is what I have exactly Yeah, that's why I love spending time in the mountains.

Yeah, especially Deep in the mountains where you have no service and you kind of have to rely on like A what you brought with you and what's around you? Yeah, like that's all you have. You have to figure it out You have to make it work It's all up to us. It's not like we have power. We don't have outhouses We don't have showers like it is just us and what we brought And the challenge of that I love it.

Oh, yeah, but so many people I tell and they're like Why would you want to do that to yourself? Like because I don't think you've lived till you've experienced life away from everything only with what you brought. It feels so much different. 

Yeah. So much different in a good way. In a great way. You know what I mean?

It's yeah. It's a feeling that I feel you can't find in the city. Nope. You can't. There's, there's a  healing energy just about being in the wilderness in general. 

Well, that's even like going back, like you said, remembering where we came from, like they used to rely so much. On like, natural surroundings, what was around them, getting to know the plant life, the foliage, for remedies.

Cooking, stuff like that. Exactly, medicine, food. 

Yeah. They dry it and smoke it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you 

had to be in tune with the world around you. 

Exactly. Have you ever just heard dead silence?  Yes. You just literally sit in the middle, on the top, anywhere on a mountain, even just in the remotest woods you can find. 

And there's just not a damn sound. It's 

just dead silence. I love that. Me too. I love that. Yeah, the one place we go, it's just this big open clearing. There's some bushes, some grass, and you just sit there. And there are definite moments of just silence,  but then maybe a bird will fly by.  And you'll be like, Oh, a bird.

Or if you really like sit there and think about it, there's a Creek close enough. And you're like, Oh, I can hear just the Creek, just that, but there there's still sound, but it's not,  I find when you're in a city, there's a constant hum. Oh, you can always hear just like a low hum, but you go out there and it's just nothing. 

Yep. Yep. I have. And it's so peaceful. 

Have you ever heard of Pica?  No, it's like a, it's like a little rodent. that lives in alpine regions. Oh fun. Yeah, and um, every now and then, in one of my favorite hiking spots,  you'll just be sitting on a mountain, dead silence, you'll be taking it all in, and all of a sudden you'll just hear, 

just out of nowhere. It's just like,  

there it is. If you didn't 

know what it was, you'd be like, what the hell, man? You're just sitting there, five minutes. Beep.  And it's just repetitive for. However long it, it goes, but,  

I don't know, that's, that, those are the kind of things though, like, exactly, when you're in a city, if, even if they were in cities, their small sounds would be drowned out by everything else, yeah, whereas when you're out there, yeah, you can really just take it in, yeah, you really can, yeah, and that's disconnecting, that's disconnecting,  that's how we feel about disconnecting, yeah, I challenge, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I challenge everybody to be able to get out, experience nature, go touch grass, I think a lot more people if they reconnected with the natural world that we are a part of, that we've, Unfortunately crowded ourselves into city and are now ignoring.
