The Lenten Season has begun for me, and yesterday my priest talked about fasting. He explained how most Catholics believe that fasting is eliminating food, but he also said that fasting could be eliminating other things from our lives. He challenged us to think about those things that need to be eliminated.
After I got home from mass, I began to think about this idea of fasting other than food. As much as I have tried to decrease my social media time, I am still quick to grab my phone, click on the icon, and endlessly scroll time away. I thought maybe if I tie into Lent, I may be a little more successful.
Yesterday, I totally eliminated it from my day. Instead, I read more and spent a little quiet time outside enjoying the beautiful spring day.
I might just be able to do this!
