Social media is here to stay but it has many asking if they’re spending too much time on it. Today, the first of several reasons to take a break from social media.
These suggestions come from Mandy Smith writing for Ibelieve.com.
- First, You Want a Fresh Start
For some, taking a step away from social media may help to give you a clear mind and sure footing equipping you to think and dream big without the static of the social media world.
- Next, You Want to Get Closer to Jesus
Being online does not take you further from God’s reach, but sometimes our mind, habits, and thought life can become more influenced by what other people think and do than what Jesus said and did here on Earth.
- Third, You Are Not Yourself
Has your productivity waned? You may be good at delegating time but taking a little sabbatical from a time draining online pastime can only give you more time in your day.
- Fourth — Other’s Opinions Mean Too Much
Have you noticed a growing brashness in online posts. You might be more affected by social media discourse than you realize. Many online conversationalists only see their side and can’t have a constructive conversation.
- And….It’s Your Friend
Social media is a good thing because it connects us with those we are friends with or have interests in common with; however, if you think of your interactions with the online community as your closest connections, it may be time to take a break.
