| 0:51.7 | I am back from my social media detox. I was off of social media for a week and it was really nice. I got a lot done personally and in terms of business, which was excellent. I was able to focus, less brain clutter going on, and I feel very refreshed and rejuvenated. |

| 2:11.8 | Instagram or Facebook or whatever for a week. You still exist. You still have the internet. |
| 2:17.1 | But it's a good, it's a good |
| 2:19.2 | learning lesson. If you feel like you can't go off social media, then that is a sign that you |
