Social Media Fast

Social media is everywhere.  
Check in on Facebook for discounts.
Pin it on Pinterest and have best projects.
Post it on Instagram for instant sharing.
Stay connected across state lines.
Have more friends.
Enjoy shared experiences.

Well, the more time I spend on these sights the more anxious I become, the more worried I become, the more comparing I take part in my everyday life.  It doesn't feel good.  

I want to be present for the people in front of me not some stranger looking for advice.  I want to look into the eyes of the individuals in my family while we enjoy a game or show.  I want to grow deeper friendships with the ones who are my friends in real life.  I want to spend time creating good food, craft projects, and a home.  I want to play games with my son, go on hikes with my husband, and skate with my daughter.

So I am taking a social media fast for 2 weeks.  I will continue blogging since this time is spent in the early hours before anyone else is up and gives me a creative outlet for my points of view.  

The rules:  

  • Start date February 15-March 1
  • NO logging into, checking, or posting to Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest
  • Texting and emailing are aloud
  • Speaking in person and on the phone is encouraged

I will share my findings each week.  Feel free to join me on this unconventional quest.
