- One of my most frequently asked questions is, "you're hardly ever online! What do you do when you're offline?" Today's video gives you a sneak peek into the other things that I do. Enjoy :)
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others. (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

I think part of being a successful offliner is definitely having a full life. Things like work you’re doing, church, friends, etc. If you don’t have some of these things, it would be hard to stay offline 😅 I have some of these things, but I definitely want more. I’d like to fill my life up with things so the need to be online isn’t as constant. Thank you for the lovely video Ezinne. ❤
You're absolutely correct.
I reason with you. Without all of these factors in place, life would almost be boring offline
Try reading,start reading books
If you're Christian then listening to sermons to grow your faith ,journaling and tbh just living in the moment
Be quiet,look around, Observe things...I promise you,you'd notice alot more things around you than you ever have
Also,you can add working out😊I hv a full day without social media
10mnths in now

I remember the first time I took 7 months off social media in 2020, my life has never remained the same😂😂. Now I’m not a fan of Social media,I take more breaks,when God would have me. If I had the choice I’d stay off permanently 😂.
I realized,during that time that there’s life to actually be lived,I started taking more pictures and videos but not to post, to appreciate the special moments that God has graced me to live,above all I learned to appreciate the beauty and serenity of a quiet life.
Thank you for always making ‘normal’ look beautiful. I had the constant pressure to show up too because of what God has led me to start but seeing you take your time has inspired me to find my pace,one that’s healthy for my soul-as led by God ofcourse 😂🤲🏽.
I love what you said: "Finding your own pace as led by God."
❤
This is so beautiful. I remember that in your video of "Seeking first God's kingdom" you referred to watching the Hallelujah Challenge then, now seeing you were the screenwriter for it this year made me so proud and thanks for taking us along 🙈🥰
Congratulations Ezinne, well-done fr! More wins by God's GRACE 🎉🎉
PS: This is making me feel like taking a social media break even if I just got back like 2 months ago 😂
I took a few months off, I was able to study the scriptures like I never did before, changed my life ❤
Seasons change, and not every season will require me to show up the same way! Got that. Thank you, Ezinne!❤❤❤❤
“Impact often outweighs reach”
That’s so powerful!! I took a one month break earlier this year and it definitely gave me some clarity on the whole way I use social media. I definitely want to take one this December.
Hi, I worry about losing my accounts. Do you have tips on how I can go about that? I use almost every social media app 😢
‘Impact often outweighs reach’. A word.
Social media breaks are so refreshing. I’ve never been off as long as you have but I do well to take short ones intermittently. I look forward to when I can take long breaks without worrying about work.
And yesss, I’d love to see the video about your 26-year old realtor friend and her project.
Thank you, Ezinne.
A big yessss to Demi's story !!!! Whatever work you do has a beautiful touch to it. Can't wait!!😊
!
One thing I truly love and admire is how short your videos are but you’re still so able to say so much! Pour out a lot and inspire a lot too. I honestly love it.
Thank you, Ezinne Zara ❤. You’re a gift ❤️.
Just here to give credit to Isimeme’s own creative skills. He handles the camera so well, I don’t want to overlook that❤❤
‼️‼️
Thank you for sharing this Ezinne. Well-done on the Hallelujah & Documentary projects 😍I took a social media break sometime last year for up to 5 months, and just like you said, it was liberating. It made me realise I had a silly urge of wanting things I saw, not because I needed them but because they were constantly in my face (I dare say I am naturally contented, thanks to my upbringing. So it was weird & I knew there was a problem somewhere). The break also took away some sort of cramped noise / informations off my head. It was totally worth it. I plan to take another break soon.
Dear Ezinne, you're such a light and you shine the brightest ⭐✨
I'm so glad I followed your journey here on CZcams. You inspire you to be more intentional and to serve the purpose of God while at it. Thank you for always Ezinne ❤
Oh my goodness🥺
Bonjour Sister Zinny
Thank you for Dear 20 something!
Tamara is pretty too, gracefully.
There was a cause for the burnout, I'm so happy you didn't ignore it🤎
Your fave is my fave😘
Yes, I would love you upload it.
I love the way you responded, like it's a real conversation 😂🥰
I love the idea of a long social media break because one of the most direct effects is a rich fellowship with the Lord, the distractions are almost zeroed out. It’s also very healthy. I think it should be a regular one. It also elevates the quality of a persons life, somehow life suddenly has more meaning offline. Thanks for uploading this video! Love you. ❤
Im 3years off instagram&snapchat and 6months off twitter😂...i check my friends up with my sisters' pages once in a while, but its been peaceful not having the distraction and excess dopamine from social media in general.😅
Commenting before watching! Proud member of the early fam gang! 🤗🤗🤗
Whew! congratulations Ezinne. I got my 'Dear 20 Something' book delivered yesterday, love itttttt. Watching your videos always leaves me feeling enlightened. This thing called Social Media can be overwhelming and taking that said time off can be scary but liberating and I say this as a Content Creator and Rising Artist who uses the platform for career growth so yh. Looking forward to watching your documentary on you Real Estate friend's work. God bless you Ezinne.
Thank you, Ezinne. Would love to see the real estate videooo!
As a student, it's quite hard to take breaks off social media. I have been considering doing this for a while but then.... having to stay updated with school activities is something. (Not even Unilagggg)😅😅
I'm glad you took this break off, and I'm glad you feel refreshed too.
Even the one who pours needs to be refilled.❤
Keeping up with Unilag is a full-time job 😭. I worry mostly about losing my account due to inactivity.
You a one of the few real women,your husband is blessed.Spiritually so alert,less worldly.
I just came back of a mini social media break and just watching your video makes me want to go back for more
I had 9 months off last year and it was so liberating. I sense another coming soon. I don’t mind at all
Saw y'all watching the interview of Pa Elton and his wife with Archbishop Benson Idahosa on the big screen. Im overwhelmed with joy of the fact that such a hunger still exists today. I recommend that interview to everyone who hasn't seen it yet. May our hearts will burn once more for the Lord and His Will for Nigeria. ❤
I remember talking a 7day social media break. Indirectly a break from my phone. Honestly, it is so rejuvenating.
However, I wish that time I meet more people. But it was mainly for refreshing myself of which it accomplished. I am hoping to take one again soon.
Thank you for sharing.
Just scrolling through youtube and I cane acroos this. I'm grateful for this Ezinne.
I've learnt so much
This was so beautiful to watch.
As an introvert, it'd be really hard to take social media break because our phones is mostly the only company we have.❤❤❤❤
This is me exactly 😢😢😢😢
@@DeborahArinseh ❤️❤️❤️
The Holy Spirit is hurt by your statement😮
@@mbangokokon2348 what are you talking about? Do you pray 247
Every second of this video is just inspiring! You’re encouraging and motivating other Christian content creators like me! Oh yes, I’d love to watch the story of the real estate developer
And now the Hallelujah Challenge documentary is out🎉🎉🎉 God is good
Ohh Ma'm, you're inspiring big time.
This video is timely! My friend and I were talking and planing on Social media break and then your video was released ❤❤❤🎉I 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm excited! I look forward to the video of the construction of the Estate owned by your 26 year old friend.
I'll be taking a social media break soon ❤❤❤
More grace and wisdom in all you do Ma Ezinne!
You inspire me Ezinne, I love you and God bless you for all you do.
We like even before watching 🥹🤭
Honestly 😂
For real 😂
This was hard for me waking up just to be constantly scrolling. Thank you for your POV on this topic and amazing video
I'm so happy that you are getting sooo good at this storytelling and doing it for others
Wow
250??! Thought I just saw 25 until I looked well...
I really love you ma'am, you are an inspiration.
I have never taken a long break off social media, times I did was just like some hours or a day, tho I wish I could oo🥺 not when I need to be online for work😐 but yes, I am planning to, I'd love you.
I have taken some weeks, ( I think 3 weeks) off SM. Trust me, it helped made me less concern with the happenings around the world as against before the break.
Thanks for this video.
I enjoyed this. Whenever I am overwhelmed or I have a lot of things to do offline, I just leave social media. The last time I left social media, though, wasn't intentional. My brand new phone got bad, and I unavoidably went offline, but I became used to it that even after I got my phone I didn't want to come online until my friends and people started calling to ask if I'm OK. Another thing I find funny is that some people just assume that you are not doing OK once you are offline. We still have real lives offline. I would love to see the real estate video .
Very correct
First to comment. I love you Ezinne zara
This is Beautiful, Your Story is Encouraging and it just hit me that I was offline from the beginning of this year and my Life turned around for good ❤
Staying off social media has really helped me for some years now.
Mosttimes we need this space to refresh.
Thank you, Ezinne, for always being an inspiration! ❤️
Really enjoyed this. Your life seems quite wholesome! Thanks for sharing.
This should be recommended to everyone!
This was so beautiful, enlightening and sort of a “confirmation” for me.
I’d really love to watch the video of how you’re telling Demi’s brand story, please.
I love love love watching (bingeing actually) your content.
You’re such a blessing, Ezinne!
Keep shining!✨✨❤️
Same here too same here too
God bless you Ezinne, thank you for yielding.
Thank you Ezinne for this video and please i will love to see the real estate documentary.
I'm planning on taking one so this video is very helpful, thank you. Would love to see Demi's journey, and congratulations on all you were able to achieve within this period!
Thank you Ezinne for sharing❤️❤️ You did amazing with the documentary. And yes I would love to see the video on the real estate
I don't know maybe it's from you or whose channel or timeline I got it from which is true that "When you're consistent or scrolling online, you tend to want to be more, but If seated offline having thoroughly think, you'd truthfully reminisce, remember, know sincerely that you so desire, crave for a life way far off what the social media has shewed 😭"
That's my quest in summary... it's not gonna be easy, but I desire to go offline than beyond few weeks I have♥️♥️.
Blessings of God on you, and more strength, sis Ezinne.
To add, you look so stunning...(phewwww) in all of the clips, with your thriving hair🤭😫😫❤️❤️🔥
Wow, this is so timely Ezinne. I've been struggling with social media and I just found the motivation to take a real break last Sunday and it has been so amazing and eye opening, I'm more focused on God and I'm so productive. Thank you! I'd definitely love to watch any video you have for us. You're so pretty. Love you ❤️
I’m so proud of your paths towards your goals❤
I went through a lot of emotions while watching but most of it was just me being glad that you took time off social media. Thank you Ezinne. I love you. I hope to see the real estate video 😃
Big big congratulations Ezinne, so glad that we also get to cheer you on from the sidelines with your wins, we can’t wait to see much more of what you do with your amazing talentsss and yes we’d love to see more videos of you exploring and doing that which you do best 🎉❤️❤️
Gosh! So happy for you.
Would always love to see what you’re working on ❤.
You are such an authentic creator and it’s amazing to see ❤️❤️
I cried watching the hallelujah challenge documentary. It was so beautiful to hear what God did in the lives of all those people
Please where did you watch the documentary
At Hallelujah Festival
Ezinne, God bless you richly for this video! I now have a confirmation in my spirit of what I want to do to combine my business with my love for media and content creation ❤
Wonderful storytelling Ezinne and Praise GOD for all the new projects that have come your way. 👍
Loved this! There’s definitely so much fear with not being online but this helps ❤ and yes to the video with Demi
Your storytelling style is beautiful, Ezinne! I look forward to seeing you direct/produce other films 🎉
Keep winning 🥰
Great and wise of you to take a break when you needed one. Must have taken courage and faith in God. Well done for being God's rep online as well as offline. Great grace.
You’re so inspiring sister Ezinne!
Congratulations 🎉 on the Halleluyah challenge documentary Job. The preview was brilliant . Yes we are interested in hearing the Real Estate developer story
Your page popped up on Wednesday, I'm like ok...let me watch before i subscribe and i was encouraged and blessed.
Your honest words & it's simplicity which i believe are spirit breathed are easy to take in and i trust God's grace to apply them.
Thank you so much, ama share your channel with friends🎉🎉
This is very inspiring. Thank youu, ma!
Your videos are so refreshing 🥹🙂🤍
This video is so soothing! And yes! Please share the video telling the story of your friend building homes at such a young age.
I watch each of your videos at least 2 or 3 times just to understand the context of each video and get what I can from it. Your videos have not just been fun but truly educating cause I am consistently learning from it. Thank you❤
I planned on taking a social media break 2days ago and now your video pop's up on my feed, this must be the best sign ever.😅 I ve been so excited for this break, I know it will be worth it. There is a whole beautiful life outside social media, and the urge to learn more about God & myself is one of the reason. Thank you Ezinne, God bless you ❤
Ezinne you truly inspire me and you’re a constant reminder that choosing to do life with Abba is amazing ! I would certainly love to see the video you would create.
Yes yes yes we want you to upload the doc series. Love you so much Zinne! Keep it up ❤
This was beautiful, thank you! I miss the days when I could go offline my job won't allow me these days
Thank you so much Ezinne, its nice to have you back🎉. And thank you for showing us that it is very possible to stay off social media ❤ its funny how most of us think its impossible to do so. We sometimes plan to spend just few mins checking IG posts but end up spending hours on it. I plan on staying away before the end of the year so this video is very timely.
Eagerly awaiting your new vlogs cos watching them gives me peace and insights. I love you Ezinne Zara 💕
This video is everything and more.... Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. I am sure it sounds really cliché but it's so true.
This is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤
And I'll LOOOVVEEE to see the video about the real estate developer
So much work to do,kudo girl
'the impact definitely outweighs the reach'...I like that🙌❤️
Ezinne, you are such an inspiration. God bless you for saying yes to God❤❤❤❤

I had goosebumps watching the hallelujah challenge documentary. Thank you for taking us along in your journey. And yes, I’ll love to see the real estate documentary🤭
I’m in so much awe of how you do what you do🥹🥹🥹
I was also offline for 82 days and it was the best time of my life. Thank you for sharing, please share the video with your friend😊
Thank you for sharing! While we miss you on this space I am glad the many opportunities and projects God provided for you. Yes to seeing the behind hallelujah challenge and your friend’s realtor story
I’ve taken one for a few months before. Social media was affecting my mental health and I was always tired like you said.
Thank you so much Ezii. ❤❤❤ I hope to see the real estate video too.
This was so refreshing to watch Ezinne
Currently on social media break and this has given me more ideas on how to navigate, thank you so much Ezinne
Thank you 🙏
And yes we’re in for the real estate bts
Every second of this video was beautiful and inspiring. congratulations on being the screen writer for the Hallelujah Challenge. Just as you have been faithful with little, Father is entrusting you with much.
Yes please, I'd like to see Demi's story❤
I love this and I need to take a break too ! Loved the video
Your videos always leave me feeling inspired❤.
I’m hoping to take a break from social media because I haven’t had the luxury of doing that in a long while.
Thank you you Ezinne for this, I just decided to go off social media last night cause it’s been overwhelming and I feel drained…watching this really has given me a push
Impact often outweighs reach. Profound.
🥺🥺 what an amazing short video. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for sharing. I would love to see the video that you created for your friend 🤭.
Ezinne, the wise woman. Thank you ❤
I always take at least 2 weeks off social media every December... Most times i do it more frequently- every 3 or 6 months I go 1-2 weeks completely off every SM... Last year, went over 4weeks off social media at the end of the year and it was quite liberating 😊
Yes ooooo
We want to see everything 😂
It is so encouraging to see you live such an intentional, submitted life.
May GOD continue to bless and use you❤
God bless you Ezinne ♥️
God bless you..... Been waiting for your upload....God strengthens and energizes you and cause you fulfill purpose
I enjoys watching you Ezinne. Whenever i see a new Video it excites me.
You inspire me soooo much💕I’m grateful you yielded to God✨
