Sharna Burgess Suggests Digital Detox Days More Often

Sharna Burgess is opening up about he she lets go of all things digital for a digital detox day every so often.

The Dancing With The Stars pro wrote a blog post on her website about how she wants to start taking more of the days in 2018 to fill “your day with real things. Things that can better you.”

“Confession time! I’ll be the first to admit, social media can be a good thing, something I love most about it is being in touch with all of you!” she writes on her website. “Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, all serve a very real and valuable purpose if used responsibly, BUT like most good things, it’s not all good, all the time. Let’s be real with ourselves … we can get lost in there.”

“I decided to challenge myself to a day without social media more often,” Sharna continued. “Instead of thinking about it as giving something up for a day, I thought of it as what I could gain. I chose to listen and be mindful of my own thoughts and feelings. Social media has a way of flooding our brains with so many images and ideas that can often fill our head with a lot of negativity. I wanted to give myself a real break, and see how I’d feel if I put all that time spent on social media doing something else! Something that could actually improve me rather then something that could potentially drag me down.”

“With the holidays here and a new year approaching, I want to encourage you all to take a digital detox and see how you feel, filling your day with real things. Things that can better you. And whenever you choose to come back online, if you do ;) let me know what you learned and got out of it!”
