For a Lenten fast, I usually do something food related: giving up meat or soda or chocolate.
But since I started 2026 with some water fasting and sugar fasting already, giving up something food related just feels like overkill this Lent.
It just wouldn't be very useful. And a fast should be useful
So I started for looking for places where my life is out of whack - where I could benefit from some extra discipline.
The answer became obvious: phone usage.
When it comes to wasting time, my Achilles' heel is Tik-Tok style videos that pop up on every social media platform.
I begin my day with them, and I turn to them whenever I need a mental break.
Some are funny, a very few are insightful, and many are infuriating. But collectively, they are all a colossal waste of time.
But so addictive.
So that is what I am giving up.
I have been starting my mornings now with Bible reading and prayer - and already I am feeling better emotionally and spiritually.
