I started using Facebook back in 2008 or 2009, and it's been a fun way to stay connected to the world.
I use it as an online journal that allows me to interact with others.
There's nothing wrong with Facebook but one the past year it's become a merry go round of craziness in which I was more focused on "likes" than spending time with my family.
I kept hearing the Voice tell me, "Back off of Facebook."
I saw the cost and consequence of social media when we were doing things together as a family.
What kind of life is that?!
Instead of spending time with real, tangible people that matter the most to me, my wife and kids, I was constantly looking down at my phone.
These last few weeks I've been cutting back on my time I spend on Facebook, and the results have been AMAZING.
By setting parameters around my use of social media, I have been able to cut the addiction that had been consuming me.
Clarity is power.
The more clear you are about the what and the why and the when, the more powerful your life will be.
Instead of being involved, all around me parents are sedating while looking down on their phones, ignoring their children, and I was one of them.
Now, I play games with my children, but I had to get clear about what I want.
How can you do this?
You must be clear about where you want to go.
Facebook was created to follow someone else's agenda. There's a time and a season for everything, whether it's watching sports, mind-numbing binge watching TV, gambling, or anything taking away from what you truly want.
Ask yourself:
* Do my actions today empower me to truly live and be present?
* Where have I been sedating myself with social media?
* What will I do when the Voice is telling me to cut something off?
Know that the path you walk on is more than just waking up, going to work, addicted to your phone, and going to bed.
