Taking a Social Media Break

Day One 


I decided that I need to take a break from social media.  I stopped using it this morning and when I made the decision last night, I was really excited getting to know the old me.  The "Old Me" that never needed a phone by my side constantly.  The "Old Me" that spent more time with face to face relationships than in front of a screen.  And the "Old Me" that never dealt with anxiety or social anxiety for that matter.  But, my brain is going crazy about how constantly I go on social media.  Almost like I’m addicted to gambling in a casino. 

 Seriously, am I not the only person who feels this way?  I’m hoping by taking a break I’ll become more focused and less scatter brained.  I don’t need social media and here are the changes I found this morning.  

Waking up at 4am, I realized I had enough time to take the dogs for a walk.  I've been struggling with excuses not taking the dogs for a walk and they have been paying the price of not getting their essential exercise that they love so dearly.  Now, I have the time by not being on social media.  I also felt so much energy that I realized was just for me and not for sharing my excitement every 5 minutes on my stories and saving it for me and my better half.  

  I’m excited about living my life not being in my head all the time and about me just thinking constantly living my life through a cell phone screen.

My 2nd Day Of Social Media Detox

I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

What is Whey and Caesin Protein?

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...
