I’ve been blogging on social media for the past 9-10 years and recently I noticed social media was the root of causing me to become less social. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found myself excluding myself from in-person friendships and depending on social media more to fill that need in my life.
You see, I was a lonely stay-at-home for years until I discovered I could connect with other moms and friends who were going through the same stage of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, the connections were kind of shallow and I couldn’t depend on those friends to pick me up if my car broke down anywhere, but it provided the much needed socialization I was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, too much of a good thing soon becomes no longer a good thing and I realized how isolated I was becoming especially since the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of my in-person friends stopped getting together and a lot of us found refuge in social media for human connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when the world went back to “somewhat normal,” I had created a habit of only connecting with friends online and my in-person relationships were basically non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s when I felt God tug my heart to lay social media down for a season. And it’s been so good for my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In today’s episode, I’m getting very vulnerable and sharing with you how social media made me less social. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warning, there’s some tears but I also give you some straight up inspiration to lay down the social media beast as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do it friend! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s life-giving and I’m here for you if you need support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
