Better than a digital detox

Ever had a digital detox?

They’ve become really popular over the past 24 months.

And they stink.

FOMO doesn’t get fixed by hiding from the signals that bring our the worst in you. Addressing your insecurities so that you don’t have those reactions is the solution.

Comparison anxiety doesn’t get fixed by being removed of the opportunity to compare yourself. Only finding peace in who you are and what you’re doing can fix that.

Your addictive personality doesn’t get fixed by forcing yourself away from your phone. Nurturing balance and the virtue of temperance in your life does a much better job.

Social media doesn’t make us bad. Neither do phones.

They simply reveal opportunities for us to work on ourselves.

And the deep work of self-improvement is much more potent than any digital detox.
