Becoming automated in our thinking is typically not a good thing. Life is dynamic and so should our thought life be.
Facebook requires some thought, but it also has created in me what I call the facebook flinch. It's that uncontrollable desire to check facebook. You hit buttons without even knowing you hit facebook. It's like a little addiction.
Facebook knows this. Now that I've been off facebook, the social media site wants me back. I just received an email from facebook trying to tell me what I am missing. It felt (because of this journey) like they were an after school special drug dealer saying, "Hey kid, you want to get high...all your friends are doing it...come on kid, just one hit!"
I had to resist the urge to hit their link so I could see what I am missing.
So, removing the facebook flinch is difficult, but it can be done. Try it today!
