i logged off social media for 46 days...the result was crazy.

[@jennasteltenpohl9759]

Giving up Facebook made me realize that the things happening in my life are valid whether other people see it happening or not ❤ it helped me feel more confident!

[@bonniejohnson760]

I closed down my Facebook account almost 4 years ago and it's the best decision I ever made. The only regret I have is that I wish I could of done this alot sooner. Dropping Facebook and never turning back has given me the peace of mind that I deserve. I'm not on Twitter, I'm not on Instagram or any other social media. Don't need it. I socialize the old fashioned way and it's more warm and personal to me.

[@emwilss]

I dropped Twitter in early 2020 and I feel the exact same way. Why didn't I do it sooner?! So glad you've found freedom and peace.

[@bonniejohnson760]

@@emwilss Thank you. I did find freedom and peace 😀

[@melissat9120]

I agree with everything you said. I am 32 and deleted my Facebook when I was 21. Never had any others. I just felt like it was so strange to post things for random people to read. And I felt like it gave me too many extra thoughts to process through. These days I feel like listening to KZbin is pushing me too much in that direction as well. I need to have open space in my mind, rather than consuming input (disguised attractively as knowledge) all of the time!

[@amandachastain1884]

YES!!!! I am learning that I need to get out of my head in the Social Media world. Being 42 and not married I have found myself depressed and comparing and talking negative about myself because of all these lies I am told that I am not good enough, or I am beyond finding love. I haven't completely gone off social media but I am considering it because when I change my content I watch and I step back I feel better about me. Thank You Emily for sharing this!!!❤

Thank YOU for watching and letting it sit with your heart!

[@megalopolis2015]

God has a plan for you, and He Loves you very much. I'm fifty-one, and engaged. My Life doesn't look the same as someone else's. My part in God's tapestry is only for me. And yours is uniquely for you. Many blessings to you, sister. ❤

[@sarahschnapf7859]

Amanda, be encouraged. I'm 45 yrs old & living a single station in life too. It does get challenging & lonely. God had called us where we are in this very moment. Singleness isn't an in-between place until I get married, say yes to religious or consecrated life. We're all part of the Body of Christ.

[@xxTheLocketxx]

YES YES! I deleted FB, cut down on instagram, never downloaded TikTok, stopped watching the news and boy does my life have so much more peace. It wasn’t an overnight thing, that’s for sure, but I’m telling you, anyone who is struggling to cut the noise from thier lives know that it’s so freeing and so calming to do so- and that not EVERYONE is glued to social media as much as you think they are; There are a lot of us out here that have had enough and want to be present with the world, our faiths and each other ❤

[@emwilss]

YES! Thank you for your comment. You are so right. SOOOO glad I never downloaded TT, too!

[@Katie-rh6pu]

I also took a break from social media, and it was SO much easier to grow in confidence as an artist. Following artists on Instagram can be helpful, BUT I was falling into a comparison trap far too often. I finally allowed myself to make mistakes and not feel like it's the end of the world.

[@emwilss]

Amazing, right? The silence leaves so much more room for creativity.

[@susy9731]

Preach Emily! I logged off all social media for Lent. It was so beautiful.... I had found myself scrolling online too much as a way to distract myself from the fatigue I was feeling in taking care of my dad who's terminally sick. It left me feeling empty and more tired. What I needed was to run to the Lord, to be with him and tell him my struggles, take rest in His comfort and love. Logging off was the best. I hear His voice so much clearer, I long for Him so much more and I'm starting to hear my own voice too. I can treasure this time with my dad bc I'm not escaping the sadness, but resting in God.

[@janeclark2310]

Holy smokes Mrs. Hussem, you hit the nail on the head once again! I am a 19-year-old in college, and I have never ever had social media so for you ladies out there, let my little story be motivation to you. It's possible! I get pressured all the time to get Instagram, but I know that deep down in my heart that my self-image would slowly be destroyed. Recently I learned a new word that is not defined on Google, is not corrected by spellcheck, and does not exist on the internet: impeculiar circumstances. After trying to find an answer as to why my mind knew one thing and my computer told me another, I discovered a Catholic article that discussed the same trouble I had encountered. The definition of impeculiar is “an attitude or action that others consider to be peculiar when, in fact, it should be the norm”. In only two words, my life was beautifully and complexly defined as a Catholic Christian in a world filled with noise. So let your little beautiful lives be impeculiar and without social media. Life is hard enough as is ❤

[@beachdeath632]

yup!! i think social media profits from making everyone; especially younger woman insecure in their own beautiful selves and it’s so sad to see when my cousins or friends say things like “i wish i looked like her” or similar sentiments, we should embrace ourselves and not dwell on the things like that as it would only make it worse. im 19 as well but have been cutting off social media slowly and it’s done wonders!

[@emwilss]

I love your witness - thank you for sharing it! You are a wise young woman!!

[@mama_knitter]

I've logged off social media since 2016. Haven't missed a thing and never will! The people who know what's going on are the ones who matter in my life, and I don't feel the need to live my life for an audience that doesn't know me at all.

[@mdbtptblw]

Love this! I have considered deleting all social media several times. I haven't deleted them, except TikTok, but I have taken steps back from them and quit watching the news. I found that when I did that, I had much more peace and less worry/stress. I have found that me being on social media has led me to comparing myself or my life to others and being unhappy. "Comparison is the thief of joy." Social media is not worth me losing my joy.

[@emwilss]

The news alone turned off makes a HUGE difference too!! I totally agree with you, Brittney. Thanks for sharing.

[@Laura_Ingalls_Wilder]

I love how you explained the way mothers perceive their children's growth through the eyes of their followers. It has become so habitual and second nature to think this way and it is unhealthy, all-consuming, and changing the way we show up and live every day. Reflecting on how this has been perpetuated in my life has made me realize how BALONEY it was that I lived this way, thought this way! That I couldn't simply experience life and have God be the only one to bear witness, like how it was meant to be? I took a break, cold turkey, from all my social medias after the Lord led me to cut it all off, and I resonate so much with every point you mentioned, especially the instant mental clarity and peace you receive. And peering back into social media you DO see the absurdity of it all, I love the word you used "trite" as I would go back feeling the "staleness" and "redundancy." The uncreative repetition of this machine. I feel so free from stepping away from that rat race, and I didn't even realize how much social media caused me to overthink by their "hooks" to "lure you in." I just was told today I was doing something wrong by my mom because tik tok showed her how to properly use allergy nasal spray! I was glad to hear that advice today as it helps me treat my diagnosed medical conditions, but it is so true how scrutinizing and critical social media has become. Backing away from the noise allows you to live life as it was meant to be, reveals how we can improve stewarding our relationships, and see them for what they truly are. Social media truly is not real life, and if I need to disagree with someone concerning something important, having a one-on-one interaction would work best as communication that way allows both parties to be heard, like how it was originally designed to be. Debating in comment threads and seeing the mess of Instagram comments is sad, because it's not real life. The hurt becomes real but the harsh interactions are baseless. All this life we lived will be burned in the fire, and all that will remain will be what we've done for eternity. I feel the desire to live in the present, and not return to the dull media cycle of comparison and doubt. I was witnessing people's lives from so far away, perceiving a false sense of intimacy from the overshared details of their lives. I would later remember that they were only mere acquaintances to me! The FOMO was real until I realized their stories weren't enough to provide true relationship building. I learned the truth from that discouragement and realized I had to be intentional with people instead of relying on social media. I realized all social media did, was it taught me to be nosy, and I realized I didn't like that about myself. If I felt lonely because I wasn't interacting on social media, it was because I had allowed social media to fill the space that God was meant to take up. And sometimes loneliness allows us to reflect on the voids in our lives and realize our depravity and deep need for God. He's showing me now to connect to the vine, that apart from Him we can't do anything of real purpose or meaning. I feel like He's disconnecting me to everything I've tried to plant myself in that wasn't Him. I know God says to guard our hearts and He was very good about boundaries since the beginning, and I feel like us Christians are realizing how necessary it is to learn to establish these boundaries regarding social media. Deception becomes much trickier when this sort of content ingestion happens all at once in your mind. Humans do get led astray easily, and I'm glad to hear your perspective about it and how we can live this as believers. I'm in my twenties which means I grew up on social media, so seeing how much my brain development was affected by this makes me sad. I am just hoping more and more young people realize how strange it is and how much it's affecting the rest of our lives, and free themselves of this too. It's different for us who started social media in our early teens, we grew up on the internet. It's happening even younger and younger now with ipad babies and young children, we gotta be more alert these days.

[@melissac8232]

Preach sista! I gave up instagram for Lent and I don’t think I’ll go back. If I do I’ll probably go through the list of people I’m following and cut it down significantly. I just become a lifeless zombie scrolling and scrolling while my life passes me by! It’s no way to live! God bless you for following the Lord and speaking through these channels but I don’t think people realize enough that most of us need to be present to influence those that are sitting right next to us or living in the house next door. We need to shed our egos and humbly be there for our community. ❤

Just started the video. Look forward to seeing what it did for you!! :)

[@margiehalpern4573]

A few people active in social media platforms such as yours, Emily, have played an important role in my developing spirituality. So I (selfishly!) say that I am glad that you are not walking away from being a presenter. But of course I agree that the toxic stuff is overwhelming. I long ago learned to pick and choose. What is healthy, encouraging, positive and what is not. If anything falls in the latter category, it's bye-bye, right away.

[@strawberrysmile2212]

Ohh I feel the same way. Since I started studying medicine I have no time left for making pictures for my feed (I am no creator) and story. Before I really felt pressured to have a nice and interesting feed, to show my followers (who were mainly my classmates and other people I knew) how interesting my life is, because why should mine be less interesting than theirs? Now even when I have the time it really feels so freeing to just enjoy the moment, to rather have a conversation with your loved ones than to do this stupid documentation of what you ate, did, met. During lent 2021 I logged off of instagram and it was such a precious time. I decided to strictly de-follow everyone who is making me feel bad in every kind of form. I now mainly use it to stay in contact with my family far away, to inspire and grow my faith-life throught creators like you for example, dear Emily and to get some news, when I don't have the time to watch them on TV. I think this is a good way to use it. From time to time I post pictures of flowers or other beautiful things that make me smile. I don't now if anyone of the around 130 followers of mine (I also reduced them) really enjoyes them, but I think that a flower does no one make feel envy or pressured in some way to comprehend and maybe someone will also have to smile because of a beautiful flowers 🌸 Now I wrote down a whole book 😅 Thank you so much, Emily, for sharing your precious experience with us. I hope and pray that the peace your heart experiencend during this wonderful lent season will last forever 🙏 May God bless you, your family and everyone reading this.

I think it was after reading your post that I not only logged out of my account but I also deleted my account and I just love it! I feel like although some of my closest friends mean well and I don’t mind them seeing my kids, there were other people I didn’t feel comfortable sharing pictures with. Ahhh so much to share but overall it’s like you can breath again and in a way feeling truly private is a luxury in todays world 💰

[@mintyhippo8125]

That’s interesting! I knew that social media makes people feel bad about their lives, but I had so internalized/intellectualized my life being bad that I didn’t even think about it applying to me in some ways. I could see it in myself when people get really fancy dresses or go to really fancy parties, but it is more than that. It’s my job, and where I live, too. “Im not an influencer so I’m not good enough or doing enough.” The comment sections on a lot of social media are so hostile. I find myself getting upset and I have to tell myself, “it’s bait to make people upset and comment.” With that mindset, I also see how boring everything is. It seems so important, but in lots of places, people aren’t having the discussions I want. I luckily have found a few communities on KZbin who encourage discussion and have really nice comments, and I try to avoid any that don’t.

[@cheese6783]

Would you recommend quitting looking at social media as single woman, quite lonely, and simply concentrating on healing and really seeking out God's voice and his plans for me? Thanks Emily for the encouraging videos. Your life really is a testimony that choosing God despite it being lonely and challenging is always the best.

[@emwilss]

Yes I would, you beautiful soul. I would start with 30 days and go from there. You will find freedom that you could not anticipate. Have an accountability partner too who can keep you accountable - it's easier to not be tempted to go back on during that 30! And after that, you may find you don't wish to come back, but can assess then!

[@margiehalpern4573]

I can't put my hands on the exact quote right now, but something I read years ago was along the lines of: the greatest adventure is the passage of time. It is all the adventure anyone could ask for or need. Yes, exactly--ordinary life is the greatest adventure and has so many precious, challenging, beautiful, difficult, astounding moments. And as you've said before, Emily: comparison is bad, bad, bad! Your life to anyone else's (let alone someone you follow on social media). Your marriage to anyone else's. Your kids to anyone else's. Etc. etc.

[@maryannwhite5885]

Thanks for your courage to take a break, and then asking God about what to share next. I feel in my life a pull. A pull that yes social media is good. There are some powerful stories shared on there that I wouldn't get otherwise (like you mentioned in your video). It is hard for me to be intentional with social media in general, haha. I've realized when I take breaks, I put more energy into things I've been wanting to do for a while - talents I've wanted to build.

[@cindysember1]

Wow! Amazing video girl. You've given me the courage to take longer breaks from social media. It always feels like you'll "miss out" or others will forget about you if you take breaks, but I think it's far more beneficial for the soul if we just cut it out for a bit. I appreciate you sharing!

[@cmpicha2934]

YES, thank you for speaking up about this!! I have a love-hate relationship with social media, and you explained why so beautifully. These are all excellent points. For me personally, the criticism and combativeness is by far the biggest reason I can't do Facebook anymore like I used to. (I still use it occasionally, but it's much more sporadic.) Now I just need to figure out how to find a balance with KZbin. It's great for learning new things, gleaning wisdom (like this video!), and entertainment, but sometimes even that can be too much of a distraction from other things that need to get done. That said, I'd still rather be learning something new on KZbin than getting triggered from people's negativity on Facebook and being constantly reminded of how much the world lacks in morals 🤷‍♀️ I've concluded that social media can be good in moderation; I just haven't figured out what that looks like for me yet.

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

Thank you Emily. I think there is something wrong about having content creator careers and we need to really sit down and dissect this.

Your experience and words resonate with me and make me wish I would have done it this year. This year I decided to give up some of my favorite foods/drinks. The years I gave up social media, I was more present in different ways and I feel like I am in a tunnel right now and need to leave it so that I can be more present with the Lord more specifically. Struggling with life in many ways now and I really think this video has truly encouraged me. Thank you and I am proud of you. ❤

[@TheGeekApprentice]

I actually failed in my lenten journey (maybe not totally, but you'll see what I mean). I didn't have the will power to give up sm entirely. I told myself: No scrolling, no stories, only upload for promoting my channel and to check messages. Within a week, I was scrolling my instagram like normal. But I was hyper aware of it. I felt slothful, but I didn't stop. Throughout lent I did get better about my usage, but not by much. Now...now I see the time it wastes and how prone I am to it. I'm taking baby steps by focusing on good noise (uplifting podcasts) and want to work my way to reading more and getting used to silence.

[@nancimartin3276]

I'm also currently taking a break from social media. My reasons differ a bit from what I've seen other folks say about why social media was becoming a problem for them. I really struggle with trying to take responsibility for other people's actions and I was also finding myself getting very upset watching people flaunt blatant sin all over social media. It was so hard to watch people come to me for advice, telling me they wanted a scriptural perspective, taking the time to look at what the Bible had to say about the situation with them and then get on social media and see that they had no regard for things that are spelled out very clearly in the Bible (the very perspective they asked for in the first place). Maybe that makes me sound like a terrible person but I have found a lot of peace in giving people the advice they ask for and just not seeing what they choose to do with it. Maybe that will resonate with someone else out there. For a long time I tried to make the excuse that I needed social media to keep in touch with people but I realized I was lying to myself. The people that genuinely want me to know what they're up to will go out of their way to keep me in the loop. I saw someone suggest in the comments of another video to create a group chat with the people you truly want to stay in touch with. As I've been on this break I've been asking myself questions like who is my inner circle and if I'm honest with myself, there are a lot fewer people that it's really important for me to stay in touch with than the list of people on social media. This break has also led me to be intentional about why I'm sharing things on social media. Some things that I would post on social media feel silly to send in a text to a friend which makes me ask myself, is this for validation? Am I trying to prove something about my life? And just flat out is this important?

[@MirKat1523]

That's awesome, my fear is that I'll become even more disconnected from people because they wouldn't be willing to give me their phone number to call/text or address to send cards to. If I completely cut out social media. I also feel like if I cut off social media they'd be more willing to give me their information or try to blame me and say they didn't have a chance to give that information to me because they saw my message too late etc etc. I don't know maybe it's the way I'm asking for it that's off putting. That's the only reason why I hold on to social media. I'm not just talking about friends I've met but like my family is like that. It's an interesting dynamic for sure. I love these people but I also feel like because they aren't willing to give that information out to me they really don't care about me or my life anyways. People should feel comfortable with giving you their information right? I don't want to push people's boundaries. I just feel so sad about it. But maybe I shouldn't care if they're family or not and just write almost a chain message to everyone asking for their information and just finally pull the plug.

Every time I go on social media I feel like I'm having mental distress. I cut out FB, best decision I ever made. I barely go on IG. Addicted to KZbin though.

I need to do this too. Does KZbin count?

May God bless everyone. Have a good day.

This is how I feel when I see pictures on insta of friends going on elaborate vacations. I’m 36 and never travelled anywhere before, never truly had a vacation. We just can’t afford it. When I see friends going to other countries every year for vacation I feel 👎

Glad you agree :)

Does social media include KZbin??? I don’t use any social media except KZbin!

[@ModelJames13]

My life has been extra depressing lately, but social media isn't really to blame. Doesn't help either though.

So good 🥰🤍

[@emwilss]

And did you have a main takeaway from the experience?

[@trinitybell945]

@@emwilss Yes! #1 I have no desire to go back!

[@patriciabejera3812]

No

[@ayoolukoga9829]

Place your faith on Jesus. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one gets to the Father but by him. Trust Jesus. Repent. Call Out to Jesus Now. Have a good day.

Thank You Emily for sharing, this has helped me discern so much. I recently felt called to start KZbin but at the same time in my heart I felt like it just didn’t feel right involving my children to much or showing their faces to much. It’s just doesn’t feel right in my heart . So I try to get creative with other ideas where maybe I can keep their lives a little more private 🙏🏻🥹❤️
