Last night I watched @thesocialdilemma on #Netflix and now I am deleting my social media. I HIGHLY encourage YOU to watch it then decide for yourself what you want to do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I realized (again) that i’ve become addicted to my phone... and it hasn’t been good for my mental health. 🤦‍♂️😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels weird to admit, but it’s true. 💯 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve found myself opening my phone (multiple times per day) without ANY prior thought or reason to do so...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s almost as if my brain has been hijacked... and my “extra attention” is being sucked into this device 📲 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IT’S A PROBLEM.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 The craziest part? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t even NOTICE when it happens... 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just Click. And. Scroll. 🧟‍♂️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Like a zombie)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THAT‘S A PROBLEM. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t know about you, but...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ I DON’T want to be a dopamine-addicted phone junkie. 🙅‍♂️🤢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ I don’t want my brain’s “default mode” to center around my phone or an app. 📵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ I want my brain to be stimulated by the NATURAL, HEALTHY, life-ENRICHING things...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ I want to RECLAIM the 4 hours per day stolen by social media CONSUMPTION and invest that time into CREATION. 
(among other positive things)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Did you know that 4 hrs/day on social media is equal to 60 FULL-LENGTH days over the course of a year?? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(read that again)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 That’s 182 (eight hour) WORK DAYS each year. 💵 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MIND BLOWN! 🤯 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t know about you, but...
I’ve wasted A LOT of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I encourage YOU to check (right after this) what YOUR “screen time” is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How much of your time is being sucked into this black hole? 📲🕳 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 hr per day = 45 work days per year
2 hrs per day = 91 work days per year
3 hrs per day = 136 work days per year
4 hrs per day = 182 work days per year
5 hrs per day = 228 work days per year
6 hrs per day = 273 work days per year
7 hrs per day = 319 work days per year
8 hrs per day = 365 work days per year
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☝🏼 THAT’S A LOT OF TIME. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We should ask ourselves some questions:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“How can I use this time to CHANGE MY LIFE for the better?”

“What skills can I develop?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “What relationships can I focus on?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “WHO am I becoming?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think we’d ALL be a lot happier & full of life if we DID THIS TOGETHER. 🙏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I invite YOU to join me on this 100 day (maybe longer) social media fast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s time to ELIMINATE the junk and focus on what’s actually important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s freaking BEAT this zombie-like addiction. 📵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. if you don’t think you’re addicted then I CHALLENGE YOU to go without your phone/social media for a week like they did in the documentary. —————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See ya in real life and/or in 100 ish days! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s my cell if you want to get ahold of me ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 208-596-8276 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Peace, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Andrew
