Thank you, Sylvia! I have been planning a SM Detox for awhile now, but keep coming up with excuses not to start (none of them good ones, btw!). I've noticed that I'm constantly reaching for my phone and mindlessly scrolling through FB. What a waste of time! I'll be having a FB-Free February!
Great video. I’ve never done a full social media break, but I deleted my phone’s Facebook app about a year ago after I started finding myself on the app without remembering why I was there. Having to type in the address pulls me out of the mindless clicking, and now I rarely get on - only when I have a specific purpose in mind.
Also, the Olive Tree Bible App has transformed my morning phone habit. When I wake up in the morning, there’s a daily scripture verse waiting on my screen, with an option to read it in context. It’s truly changed my focus in the mornings, and I’ve also been more consistent with my Bible reading goals because it’s at the front of my mind.
Isn’t it crazy how you reach for it without even thinking?? And I love the idea of seeing a scripture verse when you first look at your phone each day!
This is great! So many good points that I agree with...sharing with the family. Even being more aware of this is a step in the right direction. Thanks for sharing!!
Ok wow just finished watching this video in it’s entirety. Thank you Sylvia for being so honest and genuine. This is definitely something many people should and can relate too! I deleted Facebook too. Now only hold too Instagram for certain accounts which I follow, but I have same rules as you, setting certain time to check and only using my laptop, not my phone... what I found really astonishing is the fact they call us “users” thanks again for sharing this “real” version of YOU! I’m looking forward to seeing more! Glory be to God for all things!!! How about some homeschooling videos for us homeschoolers? 😆
Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️ Yes, rules and boundaries are SO important! I do have a quick video on planning a homeschool unit with the curriculum we’re currently using. I’m sure more will come in the future, too! ❤️
Dear Sylvia, thank you for sharing your thoughts and practices and for being an inspiration! Taking time off is liberating even if it is just for one day a week! Great look btw! ❤️
I deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts a month ago. It’s been wonderful. IG is my last one left. I keep that to follow 2 bloggers; you and one other person. I wish you’d blog more so I could trash my IG and be social media FREE!! Hahah!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That’s actually my plan! Hopefully I can grow this TH-cam channel a bit and I’m cross posting a lot of the content to my blog. My dream is to go back to old-fashioned blogging! I want to be social media free, too!
😆 awesome to see Orthodox Mom on TH-cam. Super excited to watch your videos!
Hello Sylvia! I enjoyed your video on social media detox. Thank you for being so honest.
I definitely can't blame you from trying to break from so much social media. Much respect!
I am subscribing to your channel though!
Haha! Thank you! I’m trying! 😆 And thanks for subscribing!
@@SylviaUnscripted Oh for sure! Thank you for checking out my content too.

Good for you! You’ll feel so liberated!
