I've been doing my "social media fast" this week as President Nelson invited us all to do. I can honestly say I was a little disappointed when he asked us to do it, but it has been the best thing!! I have had a ton on my plate this week and I didn't realize how much time I was spending on social media prior to this challenge. I've somehow had time to get everything done and I've been doing pretty well on all my midterms and assignments. It's been amazing to see how in tune our leaders are with the Spirit. I know social media isn't always a bad thing, but it is when we let it distract us from the most important things.
I honestly had never really listened to podcasts before until the past month or so but I have fallen HARD for them. We live in Eagle Mountain and I work in Lehi but I have class 4 days a week in Provo so I spend a lot of time in my car. I didn't realize how much time I spent listening to music before until I started listening to podcasts that are actually teaching me something. I feel like I'm spending my time so much better as I listen to them. My husband and I love listening to Dave Ramsey and it inspires us to keep living on a budget and to keep saving for a house so I love hearing his podcasts where people call in and have paid off their houses and they are like 30 years old. Sorry, rant over haha. But Dave Ramsey podcasts are great! Share any podcast recommendations you have below!! :)
I have been doing it this week too and I realized the exact same thing! Love what you said :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's been going so well for you!
ReplyDeleteI have had the same experience! I am grateful for President Nelson and his direction to do the social media fast! It has been a blessing in my life this past week!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you had time for what matters most. I find that media can be a big displace-r of my time.
