From the Editor Remember to take time for yourself Alyssa Groh alyssa@lakeforestleader.com It doesn’t matter if you are a stay-at-home parent or a teenager, we all have a lot going on in our lives that keeps us busy on a day to day basis. Sometimes the things that keep us busy are not work related. Many times it is our personal lives that tie up a lot of our time, too. We are so busy running around completing errands and picking up kids. We are busy attending baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties, retirement parties, holiday parties – you name it! We are also busy catching up with old friends, or talking to friends on a daily basis, going out to dinner and more. On top of all of that, we have to clean the house, Neighbors From Page 12 ebrate the official start of the holiday season, hopping aboard the Winter Express Trolley on Dec. 1, singing holiday carols from the Takiff to Watts Center, eagerly anticipating a visit with the man in red. The event was spearheaded by Liz Visteen, program manager and take care of kids, yourself, spouse or animal. And if that’s not enough, a lot of us work on top of that — and many times we also work outside of work. Lately, I have noticed how involved and busy we are on our phones. Constantly, all day long, we are calling and texting coworkers, friends and family and answering emails. The other half of time we are sitting mindlessly looking at social media. In one day while I was driving last week, I saw three drivers FaceTiming someone while they were driving. Three people. In one day. That is a lot. I also see people texting and driving on a daily basis. On the other side of that, I notice people who walk around with their face glued on their phone, sit inside restaurants with someone in silence glued on their phones, or sitting on busses, trains or the “L” on their phone. Have you ever sat back to think about how much time you waste on your phone? It is a lot. A few weeks ago I made myself a promise to special events and active adults coordinator, who dressed as a holly, jolly elf, excited to welcome residents to her event. After families made the festive journey from the Takiff Center over to Watts, all were encouraged to make crafts, decorate a cookie and finally have a chat with the big man himself: Santa. The Murphy family, of Glencoe, includes mom make my resolution next year to be more focused on the now and spend less time on my phone. And I am here to make a confession. I am guilty of looking at social media while driving or texting and driving. And I also made myself the promise to put a stop to that in 2019. But, what I am getting at is we are all so busy juggling the many facets of life while trying to keep our social life. I think each and everyone of us needs to take some time each year, if not each month and each week, to disconnect from our phones and our busy lives and slow down and focus on ourselves. How often do you take a break and just relax without burying your face in your phone? Or how many times do you take a break from worrying about work? I bet your answer is not often. As a way to jumpstart my resolution, and because I need a break - and deserve one too - I spent the last week slowing down and relaxing. I took a week vacation to visit my parents in and dad, Alison and Mike, along with their three young daughters, Campbell, Mallory and Harper. “I love what they are asking Santa for this year,” Alison said. “This event is really cute and it was so nice to have a warm, dry, trolley to travel in, considering the weather isn’t so great.” Reporting by Alexa Burnell, Freelance Reporter.

It helped me to really relax, focus on life and enjoy my vacation. But, while I was sitting by the pool and on the beach in 80 degree weather, I got to thinking. I need to disconnect and slow down more often - not just when I am on vacation. Each month I encourage us all to step back for at least an hour and relax and disconnect from our phones, emails and social media. We all work so hard all of the time and it is important to reward ourselves and focus on ourselves sometimes. Don’t forget about yourself, you are important.
