Monster Baby: A Curious Romp Through the Worlds of Mindfulness and Improvisation Monster Baby #39: Facebook Fasting Results
How did the Monster Baby Facebook fast go? Lisa starts with her results and notices the power of habit, voyeurism and what it means to think in status updates (5:03). Ted reports about noticing loneliness and boredom but also renewed mental clarity and lessened need for comparison (7:58). Lisa mentions how Facebook serves as a space-filler and how she’s like a shark in water so she won’t end up drooling on the couch (11:11). Ted wonders if constitutional preferences make a difference on one’s relationship to social media (15:39) and the pair discuss what happens when we release ourselves from the need for recognition and actually have experiences for ourselves (20:41). They take a moment to offer a shout-out to Monster Baby listeners around the world (27:56) before wrapping things up and considering the possibility of ongoing Facebook abstinence (34:29). It’s a quick little episode but we hope an insightful one!
