Update: 6 Weeks Without Social Media

Ok, so I’ll admit it. I did get on social media some this week. I wanted to see something about a musician I had been following and so I downloaded Instagram and then spent some time browsing around on social media periodically for small parts of a day or two.

I don’t feel real bad or anything. I’ve still been on social media significantly less than I ever had before this journey began and I’m still planning on staying off of it.

This journey is not about perfection and it’s not even really about social media. The social media is more-so part of an experiment I guess that I wanted to do to challenge myself and do something most people aren’t doing, so I can come back and share that experience with others.

The other cool thing about this is that I’m writing these journal entries everyday on my website unhindered by expectations or need for approval. This break I’ve taken has given me a chance to think long term rather than the immediate short term.
