  • On Breaking Social Media Addiction...
    Hi Friend,
    First off, I'm aware of the irony of making a video criticizing social media addiction and sharing it on a social platform! I'm obviously not against social technology or content sharing. What I have a problem with is the psychological manipulation many of these platforms use with the express intention to get "users" addicted.
    This video is a reminder that, while this technology is wonderful in many ways, there can absolutely be too much of a good thing! Developing healthier media hygiene, which may include taking a time out, paves the way for full experiential living. It allows us to re-learn our true passions, and have a healthier perspective both on ourselves and the wider world.
    Love & hugs,
    Kat xx

      I just loved this video - and yes, I'm saying that on social media! I agree with your sentiments entirely. I am coming to Scotland in about 3 weeks whilst on holiday in the UK, and cannot wait to see that beautifully rugged coastline once again. It has been too long. Being in the New Forest down south for a couple of weeks has been incredibly rejuvenating too. Thanks for your blog. Might I pass on to you the Aaronic blessing: The Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace. 🙂

      As a resident of the Pacific northwest I can very much relate to your experience and the wilderness environment.💯

    Amen to this! I wrestle almost daily with the temptation to "just watch something". It's almost always better to go for a walk, read a book, take a bath or do some food prep. Some days I do better than others. 😀 Thanks for the reminder. xo karen

    My daily scripture readings outdoors (when weather permits) are my favourite. Finding that inner peace is invaluable.

    Great message. I live by this and life is indeed away from a screen, and what a difference it makes. To achieve this however I had to turn inward using traditional yogic practices from India each morning and then my experience of life multiplied and I truly connect with the abundance of life around me. A great living Yogi called Sadhguru showed me the way.
    Again thank for this great message.

    I couldn’t agree more, and actually don’t find your use of media to sound the alarm ironic at all, as this is where we meet, after all! Good job!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    It is a very important point. I find it the same with my work. Watching people drive is completely different to driving yourself. And, to a driver, being made a spectator in place of doing it yourself is a mockery. Just as pictures of different scenery do not do justice to being in such a place.

      So true, I think so much of it is about habits! I find that I tend to watch more media when I'm stressed so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Short and powerful reminder to get out of these man-made walls and *GET OUT* to nature - listen to the birds, winds and waters crashing. Look at all the colors that decorate our surroundings. Take deep breaths, relax and Be.

    This is so true I totally schedule and use the Internet 🛜 as little as possible I do have a cell phone 📱 but it is locked up in my car 🚙 it is rarely used I retrieve it if I need to use it then it goes back there in the glove compartment !And WiFi is turned off in my Home 🏡 99% of the time.Actually Sundays is a internet 🛜 splurge to watch my favorite RUclipsrs ….I am extremely careful with not being a slave to the black mirrors 🪞 it is a fake reality ….I create My own Reality daily ….WiFi is definitely 💯 turned off disconnected at nighttime always ….Good topic great reminder to people 💗
