I’ve stayed off FB and IG for 2 years! Never thought I’d do it. Once I stopped logging on I realised how much time was wasted reading about other egos and their lives. And their ‘poor me’ posts attention seeking etc. and I realised I don’t need to know what 500 People are doing on a daily basis, and instead focus on myself! Put all the energy there ❤

[yonasmengs]

I like the fact that this podcast starts without any intro and straight jump to the point!!

When you sit back and look at the bigger picture of social media you begin to see that it can actually make you depressed or inadequate. That is because most people lie about what they post. Besides periodically listening to some YT podcasts and glancing through my X feed I haven't gotten myself into any other kind of social media.

[ItsSoarTime]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I PLAN TO in 2024-"Reinvent"

[carmencodre]

I agree, we all want to have more awareness of how we spend our precious time and what information we want to allow in. Keeping our minds and heart in a place of peace and harmony is essential .

[thelifewithgia]

Wow this notification came 2 minutes after I uninstalled Facebook . I'm going to complete the 75 day hard challenge to help me to recenter and to detox my life. This video showed up right on time.❤
