5 REASONS

WHY YOU NEED 

TO TAKE A BREAK

FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

 

DID YOU EVEN BRUSH YOUR TEETH YET?

You have been blessed enough to see another day.  Either your alarm sounds off or God’s clock ticked, you were placed on the wake up list and your eyes have opened. 

You might even look at the time.  But the next step you take is to immediately turn over and swipe your phone to social media apps. You turn over in your bed and immediately reach for your phone. You have not given thanks for waking up, you haven't brushed your teeth, or even said good morning to the person laying next to you before jumping on social media. It is time to take your life back!  Life was a lot better 20 years ago if you can think back.  It is up to you to meet those goals that you set, and to stop allowing SOCIAL MEDIA to rob you of YOUR TIME, YOUR GOALS, and ULTIMATELY YOUR SUCCESS!  Take 30 days off and see how much you can accomplish and it will reel you back in to your present.

5 Reasons you should take a SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK


1.


YOU HAVE NO MORNING ROUTINE 


Starting the day without a solid morning routine can set the tone for a chaotic and unproductive day. When there's no structure or intentionality in the morning, it's easy to feel disorganized and rushed, which leads to a lack of focus. 


Without a morning routine, you're more likely to skip important self-care habits, like eating a healthy breakfast or setting goals for the day, which can leave you feeling drained or unprepared. 


The absence of these grounding rituals often results in higher stress levels, a scattered mindset, and decreased productivity throughout the day. As the hours pass, it becomes clear that not taking the time to intentionally start your day can impact both your mood and your performance.


2.


YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE IS


Prioritizing social media can significantly impact the process of finding your life's purpose by distracting you from deeper self-reflection and personal growth. 


Constant exposure to curated content and external validation can lead to comparison, causing you to measure your worth and goals against others rather than focusing on your own values and aspirations.

 

The pressure to conform to societal standards or trends can cloud your sense of identity and make it harder to connect with what truly resonates with you.


 Instead of engaging in meaningful introspection or pursuing passions that align with your authentic self, you might become caught up in chasing fleeting online approval, which can hinder the discovery of your true purpose in life.


3.


YOU ARE ROBBING YOURSELF OF JOY


Constantly comparing yourself to others on social media can slowly rob you of your joy by creating unrealistic expectations and fueling self-doubt. 


On these platforms, people often showcase only the highlights of their lives, leaving out the struggles and imperfections that are part of being human. 


This curated version of reality can make you feel inadequate, as you measure your everyday moments against others’ seemingly perfect lives. The more you focus on what others have or appear to achieve, the less you appreciate your own unique journey, leading to feelings of envy, insecurity, and dissatisfaction. 


Instead of enjoying the present, you become trapped in a cycle of comparison, ultimately stealing your peace and happiness.


4.


YOU ARE FEEDING YOURSELF 

NEGATIVE ENERGY DAILY


Constantly using social media can contribute to a negative outlook on life by creating unrealistic expectations and fostering a sense of inadequacy. The curated, highlight-reel nature of posts often leads to comparisons with others, making users feel as though they are falling short in their own lives. 


The constant barrage of idealized images, success stories, and carefully edited moments can distort reality, causing feelings of loneliness, self-doubt, and frustration.


 Additionally, the overwhelming amount of negative news, online conflicts, and sensationalized content can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Over time, these factors can significantly impact mental well-being, making it harder to maintain a positive perspective.


5.


YOU ARE NEGLECTING YOUR LOVED ONES


Overusing social media can create distance in relationships with your spouse and family by reducing meaningful face-to-face interactions and emotional connections. 


Constantly being absorbed in online content can lead to neglecting important conversations, making loved ones feel unimportant or unheard. 


Excessive screen time can also foster misunderstandings, as digital communication often lacks the depth and clarity of in-person discussions. 


Moreover, social media can create unrealistic expectations about relationships, leading to dissatisfaction and unnecessary conflicts. 


When attention is divided between virtual interactions and real-life connections, trust and intimacy may suffer, weakening the bond between partners and family members.


Love you to life!!!

Everything you listed is super important. #2 not knowing what your purpose is has to be the most prevalent problem people face. So many have no idea and even more don’t want to do the internal work to even find their purpose. We live in a microwave society where people want everything handed to them. This was a great read!
