FB and Celeb gossip fast

I go to the computer and start looking at my usual sites as a default.  I am moving away from that.  I need a break from FB-it's a time sucker for me.

So it's been almost of a week of no looking at FB.  My next thing is just step away from the screen for bigger chunks of time.   I'm having to wean myself off of it-which just typing up those words is kind of scary. I've had a smart phone, iPad, laptop and easy internet access for so long.  And of course-it's completely helpful and necessary in today's world.  But I'm spending too much time looking at nothing.  Like-I just turn to that as a time filler instead of DOING real things.  It's a kind of crutch.  Figure out what I really "need" to do-hello, insurance stuff.  But otherwise, no other internet sites.  No celeb gossip, no home decor, no whatever other silly things I look at.  I will look when I first get up, then check my email at lunch, and then at dinner.  Done.  It's crazy that the screen time is so ingrained.  But when my family's usage is bugging me, it's time to look at my own.  I bought myself art supplies that are sitting on my desk.  There are my project areas that are not done:  my closet,  the arts & crafts mess, the playroom.  Listen to podcasts, or music.  Silence.  Journaling.  Meditation.  I've been so smart about how I've been listening to myself.  I'm actually paying attention to what my body needs: movement, water, fuel foods, very little sugar and alcohol.  Now let's pay attention to what my soul needs: peace, not chatter.  When I think about it that way, it's not a fad.  When I'm listening to myself I see what I'm clambering for-I do not want to know what everyone's beliefs and craziness are on FB.  There are great things I love seeing-what people's kids are doing, vacation pictures-but there's too much other stuff-the affirmations, and the memes, and political ranting (even when I agree with their stances).  I don't want contentious.  I want quiet.  The world can be a scary place-and right now, for my own peace of mind, I need to just go inward.  I need to be mindful of my time, my family's time, I want to feel flow and love.
