Have you ever deactivated your social media accounts, as a pledge to purge all things nonsensical and just try to unplug?
If so, were you successful? And, for how long?
Apparently it’s a common practice among some and, I decided to give it a try.
“Disconnect” to “Reconnect”
As you may remember, in January, I decided to shake things up a bit with regards to my New Years resolution.
At the beginning of each month I would try a different “30 day micro-resolution,” which would afford me the flexibility of not being stuck with some unrealistic goal for an entire year.
I know what you’re thinking but, no, I’m not a commitment phobe. Seriously, why set yourself up for failure? At least 30 days is manageable.
I did get off to a good start this year and made some pretty significant progress in my pursuit of new-found self awareness. Heck, I made it all the way through the end of May then ……… I fell off the wagon. 🙁
So, for the month of September, I’m saying “Bye-bye, social media.”
Hmmmm …….. any bets on how long I will make it?
This one might be a challenge, especially because I reference IG, almost daily, for workout inspo. The up-side however is, I get to escape all the political unrest and disinformation that floats around during an election season. At least for now.
If I make it through September, unscathed by the withdrawal, maybe I’ll just unplug until the election is over. 🙂
At some point during the year, I was also hoping to dedicate one month to writing more. Blogging. Maybe I should combine these two challenges together this month?
Theoretically, I will have extra time to write since I won’t be wasting time looking at social media.
Which reminds me ………. Do my blog posts count as social media?
