    I deleted instagram and desactivated fb. And I realised how much the people I knew were attention seekers/insecure and boderline narcissist. Those traits were always there in real life. But with those social media, it amplized those traits.
    You also realized who are your true friends and who you actually want to be friends with.

    When I go out, It's so interesting to see everyones head down.. on the train, walking, sitting, looking at a phone. To their defense, they could be doing something important or mindful but for me, it's more compelling and challenging to be present, hands free, mind open.

    I've been off of social media for about a month-and-a-half now and I can't tell you how much my mental state has improved I also made sure that I wouldn't go back by changing my passwords to passwords that I wouldn't remember and it's been great for the moments when I think of going onto social media but i remind myself why im off of it. Its a great reward to finding actual meaningful things to do in your time that otherwise would be spent mindlessly scrolling looking for my next dopamine hit. I have taken up reading as of late and really reallt enjoy it as a winding down activity before bed. Im actively seeking ways to improve my life a little each day. I wish i had done this five years ago.

    • @chillinwithcharity
      @chillinwithcharity  Рік тому

      That is so awesome! Changing the password is a great way to disconnect, especially if you have urges to scroll. You did it now and that is all that matters! There is so much life to experience. I'm happy you found something to bring you joy such as reading, I enjoy it as well. Thank you for sharing ✨.

    I’m also taking a break from social media. And yeees this year I went to a family trip and noticed that I barely touched my phone. So, yeah living in the moment is so important omg. Enjoying the present. Plus I’m 22 so I know how concerning it’s that my generation lives in the internet rather than using it as a luxury/treat… and I was getting SO delusional living in my head looking at what others were up to. Now, when it comes to social media apps (at least the most time consuming ones like tiktok, Twitter and Instagram etc.) I deleted all of them 4 days ago and I quickly forget about using them and then I realize I have free will and just finish my tasks or do something else. I can focus even more and I have plenty of time to think of what I want and what I enjoy. I’m planning on getting them back again, but when I’m sure I’ll have a way healthier mindset. Thank you for this video! I loved it.

      You can do it, use it for your business by scheduling your content to automatically post. That also frees up time for engagement. Limiting time on the app can also be helpful or deleting from your phone. You can still access social media on a desktop, it will no longer be at your finger tops. I hope this helps.

      @@chillinwithcharity you’re welcome! I feel like we’ve been so programmed to think that if a business isn’t on social media 24/7 and at all, that it won’t succeed in this society. Which then leads to people like you and I prioritizing social media over other things that would normally be at the top of our list, which causes so much unnecessary stress and frustration.
      I’ve been off social media for a few days now, and I don’t feel guilty (how I thought I would) about my business because my inner peace and wellness IS MY FIRST BUSINESS!
      Sis, I’m a firm believer that once we take care of ourselves , our needs, everything else will flourish (including our business). So, if you feel lead to take a break off social media or completely remove yourself from it (either temporarily or permanently) , do so!
      Spirit will NEVER lead you wrong, and you can’t pour from an “empty cup” anyway ✨
      Much love to you 💜
