What started as a one week fast turned into a two week fast because I was so loving not being attached to Facebook! I thought for sure by the time a week rolled around I would be dying to log on and see how many notifications I had missed, but this was not the case. Even just a week without Facebook made the biggest difference! I had much more free time and was more productive with the free time I had. It was wonderful! So once a week had passed, I just was not ready to stop my fast. (Especially because the content analysis was due within the next few days-I needed the extra productive time :) )
The extra free time was nice, but what I loved the most is that my thoughts weren't directed towards other people's lives all the time. I got to escape the Facebook world and just focus on my life and my relationships which was so nice and so needed.
Even though I am not on an official fast any more, I plan on continuing to regulate my time on Facebook from here on out. I want to maintain the balance between my relationships on Facebook and my relationships around me everyday.
I think I might do a facebook fast sometime. I think it is good to learn to regulate your time so that you don't waste your time.
ReplyDeleteSweet! That's awesome that you were able to do a fb fast for two weeks. That is actually not a bad idea considering finals and such are coming up. I may consider copying you and try to stay clear of fb until I'm done with my finals.
