74. Social Media Detox Challenge
This week I'm chatting about social media and how it affects us. I dive into how spending hours of our precious time online can lead to so many disappoints besides our loss of time. Specifically, how comparison leads to lack of confidence and lack of confidence leads to a negative outlook and sometimes early burnout. Towards the end of our time together, I share a challenge with you. A social media detox challenge where you can strive to spend less time weekly on the apps that enslave us. I cannot wait to hear from you in the comments below if you try this and how it worked for you! Thanks for listening! I'd love to continue this conversation over on the Facebook Page or on Instagram.
