Day 1 of My Social Media Fast

I woke up this morning feeling a pull to my online/sharing habits. But quickly felt a slight relief when I realized I wasn't going to share a quote while inspiring water drinking. I still drank my water. My devotional time was just for me...I felt less rushed. My time was my own. 

I went into the social media fast concerned that my IG account has become my ultimate way of holding myself accountable to healthy habits while trying to inspire others to live the same way in an effort to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Would I still feel as compelled to do my habits and routines? I committed to staying the course during my journaling this morning and I will continue to do the same each day during this fast. Re-committing each day to my habits...just for me. 

I have already found myself thinking about my phone, what is happening on IG and Facebook without me several times. However, each time I have redirected my mind to God. 

This is going to be weird. It is going to take some time. After almost 2 years of DAILY and SOLID posting to IG I feel like something is missing. 

I read this morning in The Pivot Year that what I am really looking for is being able to have peace in the quietest, simplest moments of the day. I can only get there by reacclimating to an entirely new way of walking through my hours. The ending of this fast is not a place I hope to arrive, it is a way I hope to become.
