40 days and 40 nights

This year for Lent (raised Catholic, but currently elsewhere on the Christian spectrum however I’ve always liked the concept of giving up or taking on a 40 day challenge) I am giving up going on social media on my phone in bed.

It has been an ugly habit of mine for too long. Getting lost in Instagram blackholes and the like. I’ll be in bed ready to sleep then screw around on my phone for an hour. Plus in the morning before getting out of bed I will check all my social media. It’s an unnecessary time suck. 

T really wanted me to give up social media altogether for Lent, but that is too extreme. I try to use social media for good: keeping up with friends, sharing out important/funny/noteworthy things, getting inspired/motivated. 

Here’s hoping for more sleep, less screen staring time, and hopefully the ability to kick the social media in bed habit for good.
