Have you ever disappeared for 6 months and made some good changes?

[PumpkiPie]

Or is this just "life quote" nonsense (live, laugh, love type nonsense)?

I don't mean disappear as in never speak to anyone or move to the other side of the world. I just mean disappear as in disengage from social media, do some self-discovery 'inner' work, focus on health/diet/exercise, save money/reorder finances and pick up/work on new habits, reevaluate old friendships and withdraw completely from any dramas.

Apparently if you "disappear " for 6 months your life will look very different. Sounds tempting but has anyone ever done this and achieved a better life?

I've come off social media such as Facebook etc and my mental health and anxiety has greatly improved. I now have a better, wider view of the world. I also avoid deeply upsetting news but try to read headlines so I still know roughly what is happening, ie Ukraine war. I don't need to see pictures of bombed and bleeding children to understand the sheer horror of it all.
