143 || [SOLO] 7 Reasons You Need a Social Media Detox || Merritt Onsa

Send us Fan Mail When I shut down my social media activity in December 2019, I felt certain it was what my heart and mind needed, but I was struggling to really let go. The first week presented a host of issues bubbling up in my heart that affirmed the decision to detox myself in this way, as much as I was still fighting it. But thirty days later, I was no longer so eager for the habits I’d left behind. I’m not here to tell you that social media is wrong or that you shouldn’t spend your time on it. No, not at all. But what I do hope for you, by the end of this episode, is that the topic gives you pause and permission to evaluate how you’re spending your time on social media and if a detox is right for you. This is especially pertinent if you have a God-shaped dream you’re pursuing. I often hear from dreamers who say they wish they had more time for their dream. Do you have any idea how much time you’d get back by taking a month off from the temptation to scroll? Trust me, I know it’s scary to take the leap of finally committing to your dream. Lack of time is a great excuse to not have to face your fears. If you’ll allow me to challenge you a bit: take the risk! Shut down the distractions and give it your all for 30 days. Then, come back and tell me how it went. I’d love to know! Even if you don’t have a dream you’re pursuing right now (or you don’t know what it is yet) I hope you’ll pay close attention to where I talk about giving your mind space for spontaneous thought. It’s difficult to dream if you’re filling all the white space in your life with mindless scrolling. NEXT STEPS: You’ll find the show notes for this episode here.
