    Been off Facebook for 4yrs during the January prayer. Never went back. This year's Jan prayer, I said less of WhatsApp., no viewing and no posting. Finished prayer and can't even bring myself to view. And yep, don't have tiktok, don't even know how it's works and I'm cool with it. I don't feel like I'm losing anything

    🤣 🤣 Talking about social media my IG closed me out for some reason I couldn't log back in I was like cool 😎 I even uninstalled it I'm on a break I wish I could be for a year or more.. We are sinning that side envying others consciously and unconsciously something the word advices us against

    Good Day The Makhs. Thank you for all the awesome installments. I honestly agree with Phetola, I've been off IG, Twitter and FB for now a good 3 years and I do not see myself back there anytime soon.
    Everytime I posted I was so doubtful,anxious and felt like I had a low self esteem. I then had to go back and ask myself, why am I posting, what does it do for me. I am more intentional in how I spend my time.

    This is such a confirmation for me❤️❤️ as a stay at home mom I find that my job is more stressful and overwhelming when I spend time scrolling online. My chores take longer and even the exhaustion is much more than it should.
    It's a fight I'm really trusting God to overcome

    I once deleted all my apps except WhatsApp and I felt liberated, now I have Facebook again and yhoo it has me by my neck but I’m gonna work on this addiction. I hate how social media decreases our attention span.

    I’ve always been anti-social media and every time I’d try be on it I’d almost instantly realize myself change, be irritable, anxious and sick. I’ve also realized how screen time also affects kids.

  • @MotherMogashoa_Mmathapelo
    @MotherMogashoa_Mmathapelo Год назад +11

    Yho Mrs Makhs my prayer for you right now is that you STAY on that phase, the phase of gratitude and contentment.. I cannot begin to imagine what it took for you to actually realize your flaws and taking action towards changing them.what you went through is one of the darkest places a person could ever find themselves in. I'm drowning in depression because of my social media obsession. Please handle yourself with care if it means quitting for GOOD than so be it... Your sanity is far more important
    Keep well family, you guys are amazing.

    OMG I'm only on 10min of this installment and already share the same sentiments as you Aus'P...I remember after Varsity I stayed at home for some time all I ever did was watch TV...cook and be on social media. I used to compare my life with sooo many of my peers and I felt STUCK like I'm not moving in life. I then randomly woke up and said nope, no more social media for me. I didn't know for how long I was going to go without it but long story short I did it for a good 4-5months. That period alone, I felt so WHOLE in a sense that I reverted back to God, I immersed myself with books( financial and spiritual) I've never felt so "clean and free" and liberated. I felt sooo empowered and that state of just being one with God and learning to trust and believe him is so fulfilling. So indeed taking those breaks from socials is IMPORTANT...some might have different "coping" mechanisms and some would say nooo just manage it like this or like that. NO! We all different like Abhuti Lerato said. I encourage people to try it and then let's have a conversation💯✝️❤

    Social media can be great,, but also toxic. I've deleted twitter and Instagram because I felt like it was robbing me of my peace. It's when I don't know what other people are up to that I'm at peace with myself. It didn't make sense to me to know what someone had for breakfast before I started my day. There are times when I miss it when I don't know what to do with myself.

  • @lengwebobo7418

    Let's not put ourselves under so much pressure. Isaiah 60:22 (b) At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen. Social media can make a person feel like her life is not progressing. One thing I learned is that ppl will always post the best things that happened to them, but it doesn't mean all things go well every day. They just don't post it on social media.

    @LETSOALO_LIFEest2013 Год назад +2

    This one is a confirmation for me...!
    I am a social media person but I need to learn to manage it. I would be scrolling information then easily get distracted by The Makhs 🔔 notification when it wasn't really my time to be on youtube for leisure 😂. Then I stop doing whatever I am supposed to. After the Makhs ke a whole lot of people I follow gosh...I am so guilty. After the time wasted I feel so bad cos I can't regain the time.
    I love the systems approach, I know I can do better for myself, i will do better. Best wishes with this Phetola. I hope you don't get too overwhelmed by this since you mentioned you need socials as it's part of your bread. May God amplify you on this!

    Daniel wasn’t fasting or was he?
    For 10 day he was fruits and vegetables = consecration
    In Daniel 10 he fasted when he did eat anything except drink water and on day 21 that’s when he got his answer.
    Consecration in Hebrew- persons or things being separated to belong to God.
    Fasting in Hebrew- to abstain from all food.

    • @joyngobeni7509
      @joyngobeni7509 Год назад

      He fasted all good foods (meat, wine, Babylonian delicacies etc)
      Fasting means “to do without” it’s not only with food and doesn’t mean completely not eating only …that’s a hunger strike.

    • @rotondwarambau8208
      @rotondwarambau8208 Год назад

      Lol I always argue with people about this. Daniel wasn’t necessarily fasting in chapter 1, he just didn’t want to be defiled by the king’s meat since the babylonians were pagans. So he opted to eat fruits and vegetables instead.

Also I am intentional about how I feel and most of them is about the real life motivation instead of lifestyle

Mara recently I have realised that. I complain more and am generally just ungrateful. and now I’m coming back to this installment again before I finally get off SM, something I should have done much earlier.
