Stick around and listen to Unplugged Ninja, by Mary Nhin.

In this story, Ninja realizes he does not like the way he acts when he spends TOO much time on his electronics. He learns that, as long as he remembers to do the "3R's", he feels much happier, sleeps better, and isn't so angry. What do you do for your "3R's" (Reset, Reconnect, Relax) to keep your mind and body healthy?
