Agreed! I think being bombarded with news and information all day is unhealthy and slowing down is exactly the way become aligned with our soul's guidance to live the life that speaks to us and fulfills our desires.

absolutely! and I'm glad we're seeing a tangible shift in this line of thinking, at least on substack anyway :')

Candice, I agree with you. And as I said to you before, keep an eye out for my digital minimalism series - I'll be addressing all sorts of things like this!

def agree with you. i think we’re actually at an inflection point where not knowing the latest (ie not being chronically online) is aspirational. you can absolutely know what you really need to know without social media
