The Importance of Sitting with Ourselves

Taking a break from social media can lead to a desire to fill the void with other distractions like reading the news or using other platforms. However, it is essential to understand why we feel the need to constantly seek external stimulation. Sitting with our own thoughts, even if it feels uncomfortable at first, is crucial for personal growth and mindfulness. By learning to sit with our thoughts, we can better understand our underlying motivations for using social media and make intentional choices about our engagement.
