NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.
If you caught my last post, 5 Reasons to Live Your Life in 4K, you’ll know that I enthusiastically endorse the Samsung 4K SUHD TV and Rogers NextBox 4K. And really, why wouldn’t I? With a new era of picture quality, allowing users to view an even wider range of brilliant and vibrant colours, deep contrast, incredible brightness and 4K resolution, you can think of it as an investment into your happiness.
And I’m pretty damned happy living life in 4K.
However, I would be remiss to equate a vibrant life with simply a high quality (okay, ultra high quality) viewing experience. Life in 4K encompasses so much more! So, now that I’ve provided reasons to live your life in 4K, I’m here to show you *how* to do so, with gusto.
1. Take a Dream Vacation. Did you know that 26 per cent of Canadians are not using paid vacation days provided by their employer? It’s no secret that one of the barriers to travel is simply not having the funds to do so. But I’m here to tell you that’s hogwash. (Clearly, I’ve decided to tell you in a British accent.) We can all find the time and money to get away – we just have to prioritize travel and attribute a value to the benefits we derive from it.
Sit down with family or friends and decide on your dream getaway, and then take steps – every single day – to save for it. Perhaps it’s collecting the change from drive thru orders or setting aside a fixed amount on each paycheque. Then, open a savings account strictly for your vacation. Living in 4K includes realizing that rest and relaxation are keys to happiness.
(Travelling soon? Check out my post on things You Can (Totally) Leave Home Without.)
2. Keep in Touch. Living in 4K is only brilliant when you have friends to enjoy it with. However, it’s all too easy to lose touch; we’ll mean to connect with a particular friend who we haven’t seen in ages, but our good intentions never seem to manifest into actions. Make the time, and effort, to stay in touch with loved ones. Whether it’s a girls’ night out or an afternoon catch-up call, you’ll never regret time spent laughing, commiserating or simply letting things off your chest.
There’s even an eBook on the subject. How to Stay in Touch: 27 Ways to Make it Happen is a 40-page manual that offers tips and tricks on how to stay in touch with the people you love in your life. And here’s the best part; it’s not as hard as you think to stay in touch. You just need to figure out what works for you.
(Need some motivation? All of Rogers Share Everything Plans come with the option of unlimited nationwide calling for just $5 more per month, so you can reach out more often.)
3. Splurge on Something AWESOME. Those who live their life in 4K know that life is short and you can’t take it with you when you’re gone. So, if you’ve been meaning to treat yourself to a little (or big) something, now is the time! After all, if you’re constantly worried about tomorrow, you won’t live for today. Hakuna matata, friends!
My recommendation: There’s no better way to live your life in 4K than with the Samsung 4K SUHD TV and Rogers NextBox 4K. Based on the 350+ comments on my last post, y’all have already identified your favourite feature. And with 44 Blue Jays home games left in the 2016 baseball season (at time of publishing), you’ll have a chance to catch all the action with a picture quality so real, it’s like you’re there.
Here’s what you’ll need to get the most out of 4K:
1. NextBox 4K. You can pick one up at a Rogers retail store, or simply book a technician to install – the choice is yours!
2. Rogers 4K content. Watch Blue Jays games on Sportsnet 4K (998) and Sportsnet ONE 4K (997). You’ll find great non-sports 4K programming on Channel 999.
3. A 4K-ready TV, like the Samsung 55″ SUHD 4K Flat TV. Call 1-888-ROGERS1 or visit select Rogers stores for a 4K demo.
And THAT, my friends, is how to live your life in 4K. Travel, connect and treat yourself – what a way to live your most vibrant life possible!
To celebrate all things 4K, my friends at Rogers, who provided my NextBox 4K and SUHD 4K television, are offering Listen to Lena readers the chance to win a Toronto Blue Jays fan pack valued at $150! Included – his and her Jays gear! (Photo above is for illustrative purposes only; actual prize contents may differ.)
Simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck!

I love my life most vibrant by getting out in nature, but at night it is T.V time. Looking at a new 4K, but not there yet.
Getting out with my dog for long walks by the Ottawa River and Mud Lake
Spending time with my niece, the energy and joy is contagious!
I fill my life with colour and adventure. From flowers to travel to food, my life is definitely vibrant.
I take one day at a time, live in the moment, and I enjoy spending time with my 5 kids and 3 grand daughter’s. It is simple but family is most important to me! :) *we are devoted Blue Jays camp over here too :)
I live a vibrant life by helping people every chance I can.
By not planning too far ahead and focussing on having fun right now!
I eat what i want without worrying what others think, as long as I’m happy, I’m happy.

I live a vibrant life with the nieces and nephews. Who knew puddles bring so much entertainment. And gravel too
I always look for the joy and love!!! It’s all that really matters…
I try to live a vibrant life by enjoying life everyday, even the small things. My life is simple but it makes me happy so that is what is important!
I make life more vibrant by making others laugh they say laughter is the best medicine. I do everything I can to enjoy everyday to its fullest.Keeping family near and dear to my heart close.
Travel, connect and treat myself is my way to live my most vibrant life possible!
We go to local shows, support “little theatre”, attend local musicals and choirs. We just attended our oldest grandson’ piano recital and then his soccer game the next morning.

Take one day at a time and enjoy each day as much as you can. Do things you enjoy as I like walking so I try to get that in as much as I can
In June we got tickets to a 3-day music festival with camping in Montebello Quebec on a Tuesday afternoon & we dropped everything to leave early that Thursday morning from Toronto. We used to do crazy spontaneous things like that all the time when we were younger but it’s important that we keep it going even if it’s not as often as it used to be!
Living for today. Since my mom was diagnosed with cancer, I try to spend more time with her but still do things that interest me. More traveling, more girls’ nights, more time with friends because they’re might not be tomorrow.
We live our life by trying to see the world through our children’s eyes. The joys they see are sometimes smaller than the ones that we can find as adults. I love watching their reactions to fireworks, parades, sports events, and watching them cheer on their favorite teams!
I enjoy having my family all together and watching a good Blue Jays Game. go DONALDSON GO :)
Appreciate what you have, cause somebody always has it worse.
i love doing yoga (:
i try to push myself with trying things I wouldn’t normally do. like zipling… i’m afraid of heights but I wanted to conquer my fear so I did it… slower but at least I did it. i attend sports games and get all fired up with the rest of the crowd even though i get nervous being around large crowds. also fishing… i’m still afraid of the water due to creatures down below lol

I try to live a vibrant life
by listening to my favourite music,
spending time with my family and friends,
traveling to different cities and trying different foods.
Thank you for having this giveaway.
I can honestly say, I’m not there yet. Financial hardship, medical issues and so much more has played a part in keeping me down. Slowly working to get there again. I remember being there when I was younger.
I live each day to the fullest and seize the moment and live grateful for each day .
when I mix drinks I don’t go for the bland – blue curacao for example adds punch and visual interest. *hic*
I try to appreciate and be thankful for what I have
I live vibrantly by laughing it up with friends and family
I’m a huge fan of travelling to keep my life vibrant and interesting. Been everywhere from Africa to Europe to the Middle East! And when I want to stay in Canada or the States I’ll take little road trips to watch the Jays play, I’ve already seen them in Baltimore and Pittsburgh. :)
I enjoy every minute with my family and my kids that make me laugh with the funny things they say.
Getting my camera gear and going out and exploring nature and taking nature photos makes me vibrant and being around family and friends. This HUGE Jays fan says thanks for the opportunity. Good luck to all.
We use the Blue Jays as many mini vacation opportunities. It’s all about pre-planning and living within our means to be able to have a great experience.
I try to get out as much as i can, and have fun doing new things!
i try to remember all the things i am thankful for and what i am lucky to have

I live everyday for my kids, they are still at a young age and need me the most so for now it’s all about them. We don’t have much but we do have love and we make the most out of everyday, playing, reading, singing and dancing. We always have fun. Besides they’re the only ones that don’t mind my singing voice, LOL. I hope to one day take them to to see a Blue Jay game, they would be so impressed. Thank you Lena and Rogers for this chance. What a fantastic prize.
i try new things to keep my life vibrant
Get out everyday with my other half and kids. Everyday with my family is a new adventure and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I try to say yes to fun more often
I live my most vibrant life by not caring what others think, and being my awesome self!
I live my most vibrant life possible is spending time with those I love.
Last month my daughter fell out of a bouncy castle and had to be rushed to Toronto for emergency surgery. En route the paramedics asked her about her favourite TV shows in hopes of keeling her calm. She told them all about the Blue Jays. In the pasy month and a half we have learned to dance in the rain. She may be on bedrest this Summer, but we are finding ways to make it the best Summer yet. We will live our Summer like we are living in the 4K.
I live in the moment with my kids. I get silly with them. I get messy with them. I try to enjoy each moment with them.

I don’t have a 4K TV, nor a NextBox 4X, so I live my live in colour by embracing family and friends.

Playing sports with my sons gives me a vibrant life.

I live my life vibrantly by challenging myself and not letting fear limit me :)
I live my vibrant self by always smiling and talking to strangers. Life is to short to be unhappy. I take at least one vacation a year to a new destination so my kids and of course my partner and I can see the world.
I think I have … I try not to worry. I live life by taking risks and save the worries for later.

By enjoying the little things
I live a vibrant life by enjoying my granddaughter at 14 months and 3 1/2 they are full of life. I go watch my son in law play baseball every week. I also invite the children over for dinner every few weeks. I keep in touch with my girl friends and love to spend time in the nature.
I don’t let the little things get to me
to be honest, I live through my kids! We enjoy the simple things in life most :)
I live a vibrant life by volunteering.
A few years ago I became ill and almost immobile and had to give up playing baseball and singing and most things I loved, it has taught me a huge compassion for others and I try to spread the message that if you want to do something, do it now while your healthy because you just never know what the next day brings! I spend a huge amount of time with my niece and nephew and teach them a lot.
I try and make my kids days happy….always use the phrase Work Hard Be Kind…..it helps in most situations.
I try to enjoy every moment, large and small and make connections with friends and family each day.
I am a blue jays fan, and I never miss a game watching on television eventhough not as sharp as 4ktv but it always made my heart jump and cheer loud when they hit the ball and score on base, how much more when they score home run. My father who is visiting also a fan and wherever we go if they are playing he will ask to put or change the channel so we all can watch the game, it’s the passion of watching them at play and made us inspired. Although we have not been to Toronto and wanted to bring them to the game, must be fun, would love to win this for my family that we all can share. What a great opportunity. Thank you
helping and volunteering is one way I make my life vibrant.
I enjoy everything. The sun the rain the laughter the sadness I get outside with my family I enjoy working hard in my garden. I love & appreciate everything that is good & not.
I am thankful for what I have.
I take one day at a time. At my age, i like to relax and enjoy everything the day offers. Whether it’s walking the dog, grocery shopping or a weekend getaway. I like to take the time to enjoy every minute.
I am always learning new things.
I love to enjoy day trips to the beach or a small town with great friends!
You are awesome :)

Thanks for the chance! Totally want that hat but the rest will be cool too! A few years ago I had a nervous breakdown so it’s taken me a while to build back up- for me the trick is just to be where I am- I know that’s a total cliché, but it seems to work for me- just remind myself that this is who I am and that’s ok, be grateful for what I have, and find peace in that

I agree about living for today – you never know what the future holds so have fun!
I do my best to forgive myself for mistakes so that I can enjoy something without guilt every day!

This is such a fun giveaway! I’ve been living life in 4K by spending time outdoors with family and friends this summer. I’ve actually been to 4 Jays games (ah-mazing!) and I can’t wait to explore the Toronto Harbourfront more. Thanks Lena! Xx
I live my most vibrant life possible by staying close to my family and keeping up to date on the latest news and enjoying the little things in life, my husband and I like to walk in our nearby parks often.
I live my most vibrant life by enjoying every single day to the fullest and spending as much time together as a family!
By choosing to spend time with people who are valuable to me!
I make time every Sunday to catch up with my 2 best friends from back home. Life gets busy, but learning to make just a little time routine – goes a long way.
4K would be great for the show Stranger Things
