While social media might have benefits, too much time spent on the phone can cause low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Putting down your phone may help to alleviate some of these symptoms.
A social media break is when you do not use social media in any capacity. It means restricting your screen time to achieve a greater balance and becoming more conscious of how you use your time on the internet.
In this post, we will discuss how you can take a break from social media.
Tips To Take A Break From Social Media
Turn off notifications
When you’re continuously bombarded with notifications, it can seem like you need to answer everything immediately. It’s remarkable what falls away when you turn them off. You will find it simpler to perform tasks with greater attention, without battling distractions.
Delete unnecessary apps
Deleting apps may help you stop checking social media, because you will have to re-install the applications to sign back in. If removing apps does not work, you can temporarily deactivate your accounts.
Keep your phone away from yourself at night
Hitting your pillow with a flashy phone is a sure way to disrupt sleep. Instead of surfing social media before night, leave your phone on charge or outside your bedroom door. Putting your phone down will help you resist the need to check it every two minutes.
Just because you’re on a social media detox doesn’t mean you have to quit it entirely; moderation is key. Plus, instead of using social media platforms, you can meditate, read a book, talk to actual play, go on a date, and do a million other fun things.
