Have you ever driven somewhere in pure silence? (Minus the few baby/kids noise in the back seat). Or took a day off from social media? Or left your phone home for the day?
Unplugged.
Something I am a HUGE advocate of.
Everyone’s life is busy, am I right? Find me one person who isn’t because I seriously can’t. We all are running everywhere, putting our kids in every extra curricular activity, trying out new hobbies, updating our phones to the latest and greatest, constantly scrolling through Instagram while we “wait” at the doctors because we don’t know what else to do with our minds to kill time.
Noise. There is just so much noise…and it’s taking over.
I currently have quite a lot on my plate as well, so my mind is going a hundred miles an hour and I feel like I’m on a freight train sometimes!
Here’s the thing. We have the chance to stop a lot of the noise around us. And you wanta know a secret?
It’s amazing when we do.
Here’s a few things I’ve done that have helped clear my mind and soul in unplugging:
I could go off about how much unplugging has helped my personal life, my relationship with the Lord, my relationship with my husband and family, and loving my own set of cards in my life by not trying to keep up with everything I see when I scroll.
Social media can be SUCH an amazing tool, but it can also become controlling if we allow it. It’s so easy to get sucked in! But I think there’s a whole lot of a life we can gain back if we unplug for a minute and just…be.

I need to do more of this. I turn my phone on silent and turn it upside down. It helps me not to look at it. I also drive without music sometimes. I love music but it definitely affects your mood.
Love that idea!! It’s so nice to not be a slave to my phone!
I definitely agree with the social media fasts! Over the summer I took a month off from Facebook and realized just how much it bogged me down. Ever since I went back I don’t check more than a few times a week and it definitely has paid off! The substitution and getting outside ideas were great and actually was what I did to get out of the social media routine.
Right!? You almost don’t realize it until you stop doing it! It’s refreshing! THanks for your comment! Xo
Social media fasts can be so hard for me to do, but they are a great way to unplug and focus in on bigger priorities, or just a minute of calm!
