Hi, Lisa. Appreciating your way of showing up authentically in this space. Social media breaks have been so supportive to me in recent months, lifting a weight I didn’t even realize was pressing down on me until it was removed. And I wasn’t even posting, just following a small number of accounts that felt inspiring or supportive! Still, pausing that consumption opened more space in my life--to breathe, to experience, to just be.

This resonates so deeply Lisa. I have been taking each Mercury Rx off social media for a month and it does wonders for my soul. With this, I have also decided to share less of my life online and spend more time experiencing it. Sometimes I wish I had captured a photo or two for myself, but I am much more content being present in the moment. Having a young teen who is pretty glued to her phone at the moment, I will need to consider ways that I can show her the ease that comes with allowing your mind space to breathe away from a device.
