My work involves advertising on FB for clients so I won’t delete it. However I have recently decided that won’t scroll down my wall and I’ll only see something if I’m tagged. I’m free and only use FB when I’m making income.

All the best,

Family: For me, Facebook makes it easy to stay connected with friends and family. Is it necessary. Absolutely not. It just makes it easy to share with multiple aunts and uncles with one click.

Business: Yes. it serves us, but at what cost? We use facebook as a primary means to connect with new people, to “wow” them with cool badass stuff we accomplish. Both with our personal accounts, business page and course groups. It starts the credibility and trust chain with potential new students. However, we must always be on our best behavior. We must be critical in what we post and who sees it. While social media does drive us a significant amount of leads, social media is no longer social. It has become a marketing channel.

In the grand scheme of life , it does allow me to share and experience high vibration energy with others. But, i must sift through a ton of low vibration stuff to get there. I’ll give this more thought and get back to you…

I had to jump in and tell you this quick: I wrote the very same stuff about Facebook in my journal this morning! Then I saw your email and thought I was seeing things! LOL

One difference though: I’ve logged out rather than deleting it all together. I’ll take the month and see what it’s like to go without it after 12 years and then decide what to do next. I’ve reconnected with some old and dear friends via my Facebook profile, so I’m just not sure about doing the full-on delete quite yet.

Really, for me it boils down to questions around addictive response, creative time and energy loss, and self-esteem from within rather than the “fake-esteem” garnered from seeing that like number rise. (Never mind the politics and “salesy behaviour” that has grown so tiresome.)

I’m curious to see how this goes but I can say already that, like you, the space created in Facebook’s absence already feels light and full of wonderfully real things.

Cheers to a new year full of new potentials!!

I do want to delete it at some point though. I’ve decided to spend a lot less time on it going forward, so maybe after a year of limited time I will see if I can just pull the plug.
