Social Media Free - A Reflection

The best part of taking a break from social media was getting to think for myself again.  

The mental freedom and emotional clarity that emerges when your brain is not flooded with the opinions and emotions of others is AMAZING.  And as I slowly log back on, I just want to say - honestly, that mental freedom, that emotional clarity is EVERYTHING.  

Because let’s be real - we live in a super loud and at times, super divisive world.  And when we stop thinking for ourselves, the algorithm, the influencer, and the echo chamber are happy to do it for us. 

Being able to think for yourself, form opinions for yourself - is such a gift - don’t take it for granted and don’t give it away.  Armour yourself.  Strengthen your discernment because clarity of thought is power.  And in a world that can be so noisy and so disorienting, that clarity of thought is power and that power is worth protecting.
