7

So I survived a fast from Social Media for 1 month.

No:
1. Facebook
2. Instragram

3. Pinterest
4. TV
5. Internet (unless for work/school)
6. Snapchat
7. Podcasts

Was it difficult? Some days. And again I learned more about myself and my habits.
When I'm stressed, there's nothing I'd like more than to watch a movie with the kids. 
Instead, I prayed or read or took walks or went to bed.
When I'm cooking dinner (waiting on things to cook, boil, etc), I love to check me some feeds.
Instead, I talked to others, I read, I did some laundry, I wiped things down.

I thought I would miss Facebook a ton. The first few days, maybe. But not really. It wasn't until Sunday when we could jump back into the Social Media world did I realize how much I didn't miss and how much less stressed I felt of not having it around. 

I did miss Pinterest. I wanted to scroll things and see some fun creative stuff. 
I've had some dental issues this month which landed me in the dental office more than I care to share... so during those times I... get this... flipped through Better Homes and Garden and got some fun ideas. For real. They still make those. In paper and everything. :)

So in the end I survived month 4 and I liked it. It was good, refreshing and made me pick up new habits and lose bad ones. Yay!

This month we are reducing waste. Compost, additional recycling, canvas bags, second hand shops and more! This has been a great journey.
