002: 4 HARD truths about life without social media

Hey it’s Carly Burr and this is taking life offline! I’ve been off all Social media  for over 8 years now aside from YouTube where I’ve chosen to be to try my best to encourage and inspire others to join me on this path less travelled! I’m here to encourage you to take your life offline. YES leave social media, live more simply, peacefully, more present and more in line with Gods will for you and your life.   It’s hard to hear a still small voice when you’re being flooded with all the noise of the world.   It’s time to live more intentionally, to put not just the social media away but the phone down.  When we’re online it feels like we need to be moving quickly, chasing the next thing that will only give us satisfaction and fulfillment for a short time.  Why do you think we’re such an unhappy, self obsessed, distracted, depressed, overworked, under-loved and unfulfilled society? We’re getting it all wrong and this is something i’ve discovered and experienced for myself in my 8 years and counting offline.   I’m promoting this path less travelled offline as it’s never failed to bring me closer to myself, what matters most, and Gods will for me.   And i want nothing more than for you to experience this too I believe there’s a shift happening, subtle but sure. Going offline wont be easy for most, but it will be worth it and thats why i’m here!  I’m here to be your cheerleader, your motivator, your friend along this journey as you take the leap to join me and many others from around the world on this path less traveled. I hope to give you the courage to do something hard! To do something against the grain and help you feel less alone in the struggle that i know it often is to go offline.    I’m creating this to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.   On this podcast i’ll also be sharing the conversations I'm having with those of you offline through my letter that i’m so lucky to be in contact with.  we’re going to be building a foundation together for you for your life offline so each Monday i’ll be challenging you to take action on anything that speaks to you as you listen, let your thoughts become your actions  and watch yourself begin to feel more alive than ever before as you take steps on this path less traveled.

One of the tenants of an inter-connected network of computers (or the web) is that you basically take for granted that you have a reliable connection to the internet. In this podcast I discuss the concepts and mechanics of taking your applications offline and making them available at all times regardless of connection status.

L'importanza di promuoversi offline

I'm letting you in on everything i’ve learned about building an offline presence over the past nearly 9 years as well as what i’m currently learning along my way. Building my offline presence is the umbrella for what i’ve done to help me stay offline for coming up on 9 years this August! It’s been my main focus and mission in my life to live it in a way that is fulfilling enough offline to not need to go on social media to connect with people, or receive validation for my life and my choices. Today is the final step of building your offline presence! Your presence with your personal growth & spirituality. I hope this series has been helpful and you've started taking steps to begin growing your offline presence today, It'll be worth it I have no doubt! xxCarly JOIN MY FREE OFFLINE COMMUNITY: Join the movement & connect with others on a mission to embrace life offline in my FREE community HERE.
