I know that the idea of taking a week long social media break sounds great, but the reality of it can actually feel quite confronting.

Instagram, and social media in general, can be such a beautiful thing. It’s the very reason I have this business and it’s how I met a number of my most cherished friends. However, we all the know the feeling of mindlessly opening the app to numb ourselves from overwhelm, avoid the things our soul is calling us to step courageously into, or turn off our brains in a paradoxical situation where we end up stimulating them even more causing ourselves to feel wired instead of relaxed.

Social media and much of the internet at large can sometimes feel like an insidious thing because of the way it’s intentionally designed to capture and keep our attention. The truth is, we get to determine the nature of our relationship with it. How we approach it and use it will greatly influence how we feel after engaging with it.

This 7 day email series was designed for anyone feeling too connected to everyone else’s lives and disengaged from their own. 

When was the last time you really saw the glimmer in your child's eye? When was the last time you felt at ease or unrushed? When was the last time you picked up an actual book for nothing other than pleasure? When was the last time you lingered a little longer in your intimacy? When was the last time you looked all the way to the top of the trees? When was the last time you indulged in the sweetness of sensuality? When was the last time you noticed yourself breathing? When was the last time you heard your intuition?

These are things we all want and tend to romanticize in our minds. However, unless we actually choose to live these things out in real life, they will never amount to an actual experience. In our distracted state, we often feel an underlying sense of hurriedness that doesn't leave much room for awakening the senses or taking the time to choose these things. And yet, the act of choosing these things - these small, intimate moments when no one is looking - is what ultimately and cumulatively builds our sense of happiness and fulfillment over time.
