I love your first and last questions because they are related for me. I'm writing a post this week on curbing my shopping problem. For awhile, I was in denial about it. Then, as a family in February, we decided to challenge ourselves not to buy anything. It was a beautiful exercise. The surprising lesson is that everything I had to realize/remember/re-learn are all things I have been teaching my kids but I wasn't acting and modeling it myself. Stuff like delaying gratification, being grateful for what you already have, the beauty of less choices and stuff in our lives. Decluttering our physical and mental spaces is freedom.

Love this, and love that you are finding it easy to step away from social media. For years when I'd hear someone say, "I'm deleting my FB account of IG account," I'd think, you don't need to delete it. Just stop looking at it. It's so easy. Social media can be an effective tool, and a nice way to stay connected, but it doesn't need to rule us or consume our days. 💜
