I bet if I asked you to turn off your I-Phone or BlackBerry 99% of you could not do it. Why is that? Well, my thoughts on this matter is we have become too programed and too addicted to being connected to our network. We have to see what next is coming in or see what is going on in the world every few minutes or some of us every few seconds. The sad part about this is we neglect what we are immediately surrounded by. We neglect the beauty of nature and the wonderful sights and sounds of the “real wold.” Hey, I am going to be the first to admit that I am guilty of this as well, but my trip to Colorado and experience on NY Mountain made me realize how much I am addicted to my I-CRACK and my laptop. It was so refreshing to spend 3 days disconnected from technology and re-connect with the beauty of nature. So, will you do yourself a favor and do the same? If you are interested I have the perfect group of people to take you on your own expedition. Let me introduce you to The Third Drive.

First of all I am going to tell you that the people who run the Third Drive are friends of mine. Well, at least after this past weekend we have become good friends. Actually, an old client of mine and now he is one of my best friends it is his wife and his wife’s business partner who have started up this expedition company. They are fabulous people and they have a passion for helping people become healthy and change whatever it is that is holding you back in life.

You can read more about their approach and the retreats here.

I can tell you that my retreat did wonders for me and I know that as time goes on it is easy to slip back into the old routine, so that is why I plan on taking another trip next year. I hope you will join me and take a “break” from your Smart Phone and all the other technology noise that surrounds you and re-connect with who you are and the beautiful nature that surrounds you!

In health and prosperity,

Coach Dave
