URC Weekly 2/27/2011: Addicted to Facebook
Hi Family,
Are you addicted to Facebook? Is Facebook the first website you check when you turn on your computer? Do you feel strangely naked and left out when you don’t check your Facebook daily? Do you spend more time on Facebook than you do sleeping? I hope not. Well, even if you are there is good news.
Did you know that there is a WikiHow page on how to quit Facebook? To make it more convenient for you, I got the steps right here:
1. Admit you might have an addiction to FB
2. Define your goals on FB
3. Make and follow a FB schedule (I really like this one)
4. Think of other things you could be doing with your time spent on FB (like making REAL friends)
5. Block the time you spend on FB using parental controls
6. Turn your profile into useless data
7. Leave FB
8. Find alternatives to using FB
I’m not really against Facebook. I have one myself. I actually think it’s a good way to keep a sense of community in this tech-advanced generation. The point here is that ANYTHING can become a routine part of your life.
I heard on the radio the other day that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. Apparently, if you keep doing (or not doing) one thing for 21 days, there is 50% chance that you will be doing the same thing in six months. And if you keep doing the same thing for six months, there is another 50% chance that you will be doing that thing for lifetime!
So let’s make a good new habit, or drop an old one that you don’t like. I challenge you to challenge yourself for 21 days. You wouldn’t really have to do it alone, since we belong to each other in Christ, remember? If you would like to take up on this challenge, please let me and/or your small group leader know. We’ll be praying with you. Let’s watch the faithfulness of our God who answers our prayers together. God bless you.
