How to Live Your Life in 4K

July 10, 2016 By Lena

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.
10387805_1674863439421167_313603232_nSit 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.
IMG_2176There’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.
FullSizeRender (1)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!
IMG_2778To 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!

    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!

    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 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 think that’s living my life vibrantly instead of doing the same routine every day

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.

    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.

    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 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

    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
