It was one week ago today I said adios, goodbye, ciao to social media. That first day was difficult, as all habits are hard to break. Whenever I felt the urge/need/want to scroll through my Instagram or Facebook feed, I instead read an article from a Church magazine, a much better way to spend my time!
With a lack of social media in my life, I'm noticing that:
- I sleep better
-I suddenly have more time in my day
-My self-esteem is rising
-I'm feeling the Spirit more often
-I "play" more with my kids
Have you seen this video?

How sad is this?
My feelings are similar to Elder David Bednar's when he said:

My feelings are similar to Elder David Bednar's when he said:
"Please understand. I am not suggesting all technology [ or social media] is inherently bad; it is not. Nor am I saying we should not use its many capabilities in appropriate ways to learn, to communicate, to lift and brighten lives, and to build and strengthen the Church; of course we should. . .
"I offer two questions for consideration :
1. Does the use of various technologies and [social] media invite or impede the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost in your life?
2. Does the time you spend using various technologies and [social] media enlarge or restrict your capacity to live, to love, and to serve in meaningful ways?"
