Social media detox week: February 24 – March 1
Last year February in the lead up to my 40th birthday I did a lot of self reflection and decided that moving forward I wanted to try and live more in the ‘real’ world and less in the ‘virtual’ world. I would say at the time I was completely consumed by social media, posting several times a day across many platforms. In fact many people began to call me ‘selfiesam’. I knew something had to change, so I decided to give up social media for a period of 40 days – 40 days for 40 years of age. In the end it turned out my social media detox was much longer at 100 days.
My experience was truly life changing, and my life post social media detox has been both more focused and fulfilling. I documented my experiences here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ndtAziOmdY.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of me taking a 100 day break from social media I am inviting others to take part in a one week detox and experience some of the benefits of switching off.
The date coincides with the anniversary of my detox, commencing February 24 – March 1. In the lead up to the detox I will be sharing some of my tips and benefits based on my own personal experience.
