Omg so many reasons! Yours will be unique to you depending on your relationship to it. I could list off a bunch of reasons like “improved mental health! enhanced focus and productivity! brain reset! improved sleep! creativity boost!”...but Real Talk: It’s a bit much isn’t it? A bit off too much of everything all the time. Taking a break from social media is part of becoming more autonomous about what you are welcome into your personal field.

You can totally do this on your own! That being said, it’s so easy to fall off of new patterns and habits when we’re trying to do them by ourselves. It’s often easier (and more fun!) to stick to things when we are receiving the support and encouragement from community.

The group field we will co-create will be a source of kinship and care as we each navigate our more open space in January.

My hope is that this group experience helps you drop into sacred pauses on your own in the future with more ease and immediacy any time you could use a break.

Part of this experience will be making your own! This is a BUILD YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. We will be exploring setting personal intentions in the first zoom call and in earlier ‘Questions of the Day’. Perhaps you want to abstain from a singular app, or offer yourself a deeper retreat month by abstaining from multiple.

Omg it has happened to me so many times!! Your transparency is welcome here. This is all a learning and growing experience and there’s no doing it perfectly. Logging on (or wanting to) is always an *excellent* opportunity to notice and observe what’s compelling you to reach for social media, and get curious about the deeper feelings underneath.

The first few days you’ll probably find yourself unconsciously and compulsively going to click on the app that’s no longer there. It’s in this phase that I become more aware of a sort of anxious energy in my system that goes along with that behavior.

This compulsion will smooth out in it’s own time as you settle more into the experience.

Throughout the month you will likely experience a lot of different things! As you’re recalibrating to the space, you may feel bored, anxious, sad. You may also feel more peaceful, relaxed, creative, inspired, happy.

Just like #LIFEITSELF and #EVERYDAY, this too is going to be a non-linear journey. We welcome the waves as they come!

Although you’ll have access to the group support/connection in the Whatsapp Community for the month, of January, it might feel great to have an accountability buddy that you already know, to have more personal checkins and sharings about how it’s going!

You don’t! You can think of the Whatsapp Community as a warm and welcoming space to enter anytime it serves you. There is no pressure to show up in any certain way.

That being said, you will likely get more value out of the group field by participating. Sharing vulnerably and being witnessed can be so powerful.

Most of us keep our unhealthy tech habits behind closed doors, and I warmly invite us all to relate and say “I get it. Let’s do this!” to one another. ♡

In the beginning of the month the questions may be more focused on reflecting on your relationship with social media, and throughout the month

Leading up to January, focus on your AWARENESS of your tech habits. Observe when and why you reach for your phone, and what happens to you when you’re on social media.

Maybe right now you’re like “I’M READY NOW.” - if that’s you, log off and delete baby!! We will join you with enthusiasm on Jan 1!

Some book + podcast recs will be sent out with a welcome letter after you sign up that you may love to dive into.

(Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport was the 1st book I read on this subject).
