17: Why You Should Take a Break from Social Media

Social media has been a vital part of our business and daily lives. But little did we know how much time and life it took from us.

In this episode, I am sharing the real behind-the-scene of what it looks like without social media. I'll share the different facets of my journey and the realizations that struck me of how much freedom and happiness I could gain without it.

Highlights

Valuable things that we can possibly lose from social media
Why personal connection and relationship is still the "Queen" to business growth
The importance of being a good example for your children
How being off social media could lead to more clarity, connection, focus and direction with your life and your business
Things you should know and do first before you take off from social media

Social media is a game-changer to generation and has changed millions of lives globally. It has helped businesses and personal lives not connect across the globe but grow personally and spiritually. But indeed anything "too much" is destructive.

So I want to challenge you #leadhers to take at least a 15 days break from social media. Journal your everyday journey and allow God to have space in your heart. Allow God to work in you; give you wisdom on the things that matter most in your life. Allow God to show you the direction and connection that you need.
