Family Relationship Vs Technology: Real Connection Can Increase Longevity and A More Fulfilled Life

Often we are running to and fro and many times we even need to set an appointment with loved ones to squeeze them in our hectic schedule. How do you maintain a good connection with your family with this quite complex context that more than often technology detaches us nowadays?

In independent cultures like Americans, it is hard to keep the family bond strong unlike with some of the Asian countries, which are generally collective in the nature of culture. Hence, many Americans, especially the younger generation fail to have quality time with parents and siblings. technology is one of the reasons why it becomes hard to talk and connect even when you are just within the proximity of reach.

Einstein once predicted that these days will be a period where people are like "idiots" who are in different worlds even if they are sitting next to each other. Smartphones, tablets, and laptops can be barriers to relationships and oftentimes make us all like idiotic robots, emotionless and devoid of feelings.

Technology indeed makes life easier but most of us do not realize that it can curtail valuable moments like connection with people. On the other hand, relationships are said to give a semblance of fulfillment and so if technology becomes an issue, self awareness and our social skills get affected making us unhealthy. The study published in Health Harvard suggests that good connection gives improvement on health and leads to an increased longevity.

Family relationships should be on top of all the relationships that you are to nurture. Of course other social relationships are important but the family should be a priority. You are to make sure that you still give the appreciation and affection that each member needs. Also consider having positive communication and expressing your affection to them. It helps also to enjoy time with them as regular as you can especially when you come together and grow spiritually at the same pace. Treasure your family and you will surely prosper and enjoy life better than ever. On top of that, you will be able to have longer life that is maximized with all the joy a life with good relationships can fulfill.
