. 3. Fast from social media. Social media and online activity in general is probably the biggest occasion for unhealthy anger in most of our lives. Take time away from social media this Lent to give yourself more time with God (he may make you angry but he’ll also heal you!). Fasts from social media are like any fast; they help us to become more moderate in our use. Often when I return from fasting from social media, I have a clearer mind and do not get as easily sucked into arguments, scandals, and whirlwinds of gossip, nastiness, and negativity.

Fair amount of blood-pressure friendly advice in here. Plus, Facebook is just depressing. Happy Lent everyone!

Amen to fast from social media. There are all kinds of studies coming out these days about how toxic regular viewing of social media is. I think its going to be come more and more clear as time goes by that social media has been a net-negative for our society. Its addictive, toxic and socially stunting.
