The Art of a Social Media Fast

I’m taking a social media fast until at least the end of August 2022. If I’m posting, it will be my team.

If you’d like more immediate assistance about working together or an upcoming project, email my team at hello@hausoflala.com.

Rest is imperative. I’ve found myself strangely with bouts of anger, rage and sadness. I didn’t know where it was coming from.

After a large epiphany, I realized I was angry because I was exhausted. Depleted. Ride a NYC subway to see where your adrenals are and how you really feel.

Radical responsibility as it’s so often touted on these screens, is rest. Yoga Nidra, laying down, calming the mind, turning off my phone, etc. I love working, and I also love the fullness of breath. Of life.

We all need rest, and in our culture, it’s deprioritized. The deeper truth is what drives your work. If you look closely, you’ll likely smell fear.

The other day I bought wildflower honey. I couldn’t eat it, though, because it smelled too much of manure. For me, the taste and scent were like poop 💩. The honey takes on the conditions in which it’s grown.

When you build from chronic depletion or exhaustion, your honey may smell like shit, too (and you don’t even realize it).

Sleep, little ones. Go inward and see what awaits. Social media fasts are always my most fruitful times. May the force be with you (and I mean that).

Best,

Lalita
