Do you ever feel like you’re constantly scrolling your feeds, endlessly watching and reading as the content passes by? Are there days when it feels as though social media has taken over your life? If these sound familiar, then perhaps now is the time to take a digital detox. I recently did such a thing – an extended leave from my phone and all its networks – and discovered several key things about how we live our lives in the age of technology. From taking this intentional break, I learned valuable lessons that can help busy adults maintain healthy boundaries with their devices and unleash more creativity into their everyday lives. In this episode, I will discuss what I learned from my social media detox– insights that can help you too!
