Recenly I shut down my facebook account. I really missed it at first but have started to realize how much time I wasted on it. AND...who my real friends are and who are not my real friends. I mean, just because you keep up with someone through social media doesn't really make them a real friend. Just because you 'friend' someone does mean they give two rips about you. It just is what it is. So, I got rid of facebook and it actually has saved me a lot of time. Around the same time I got rid of facebook I started posting on my profile at weightwatcher.com and also sparkpeople.com. It is cool reading other people's journey to weight loss and their healthy lifestyle but it also has kinda just taken place of facebook...LOL! Now I spend more time on these sites then I should. So....I am going to stop with all social media. I am even going to quit texting. I am not giving up my cell...just not texting. If someone texts me I will call them back. No more texting for me....it will be a beautiful thing as I HATE typing with those little buttons! No more randomly posting status updates for really no apparent reason (do you really even care when I get up, go to the store, go to curves, go to coop, and then go to bed...LOL). I may type a blog from time to time but that is it. Unfortunatly I have to keep my email because of school BUT...if a 'friend' sends me an email I will call them back. No typed replies from me. I want my relationships to be with people who I actually talk to and see. I read an awesome article that I want to share with you guys. It is about a guy that put down all social media for 90 days and what he has learned from it. I think we could learn alot if we spent less time type type typing! Cheak out the article: http://news.yahoo.com/90-days-without-cell-phone-email-social-media-015300257.html
Now, I am not taking it as far as he did. He could go with no phone and everthing BUT...he only did it for 90 days. I want this to be a life change for me. If I can go without facebook I can go without these other things. So, first I am going to stop with all the posts to weightwatcher.com and sparkpeople.com. And youtube is out also. Then no more texts. Email will always have to stay but that really isn't what takes the bulk of my time anyway. So...here goes. I will miss everyone on my social sites but if you want to get up with me send your phone number to my email and I will call :) dawn.believes@yahoo.com
Be blessed,
