28. How to Break Your Attachment to Social Media and your Phone, and Discern its Role in your Life (and/or Small Business!) So you’re NOT Sacrificing Your Faith, Family, or Well-Being (Part 2)

Hey friend.

 

Do you struggle to put your phone down?

Do you feel pressure to check your phone 24/7, or be accessible all the time?

Do you feel like you end up often mindlessly scrolling social media, or feel pressure to compare yourself to others and keep up with what everyone else is doing?

Do you feel like it’s getting in the way of your ability to be truly present to your family?

Do you find yourself turning to it when you’re stressed to decompress, numb & distract yourself?

If you’re building a small business especially, do you too feel constant pressure to post & engage on social media, and keep up with all the trends to make sure you’re doing enough?

 

You’ve known deep down that this doesn’t feel right. That you’re too attached to it. That you should be able to live peacefully without a phone in your hand, always feeling like you have to refresh or check it, stay caught up, or pressure to post all the time.

 

It’s not your fault. But I’m going to empower you to face this head-on, with eyes wide open.

 

Listen in to this 2-part episode full of hard truths in tough love.

 

I give you:

• 5 practical steps to break free from this addiction
• 7 examples of different boundaries you can set
• 10 simple strategies you can apply in the moment when you feel pulled into social media

I’m getting raw and real with you on how damaging social media has been in my own life (personally, in work, and in my small business), and the journey God has taken me on to break this debilitating addiction.

 

I reveal why I’m doing an Instagram detox for the next month, and why you should consider it too to free yourself from the hold it has over you, your life, your relationships, your time, your goals, body image, and your self worth.

 

I believe strongly in the potential and blessings social media can bring, and how it can be a force for good. I’ve seen & been part of creating tremendous change & meaningful connection through social media, especially in advocacy work for pregnancy, postpartum & families in the military.

But we don’t talk enough about its dangers and pitfalls, yet many of us are caught up in its influences without full awareness of how much it’s causing us to sacrifice what matters most.

 

So let’s explore how it’s negatively impacting us, and why we get stuck in cycles of addiction and attachment to our phones and social media.

 

Listen in to find out how to put a STOP to social media’s control over you & your life, and how you can take your precious moments & priorities back.
