Social Media Detoxing
With the availability of the Internet, it has enabled us to gain access to alot of
information with just a click of a button.Which is a good thing because it allows us
to be connected to people from all over the globe , platforms such as Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter do play a very huge role in the way we communicate with
others.
Even though these applications are nice to use , you can easily get hooked to
them making you consistently looking forward to the next post and this makes it
even more of a reason for as to Detox from social media.In this post will look at
what social media detoxing is and why its important for you ,hopefully by the end
of this post you’ll try and limit the amount of time you spend on some of the social
media platforms.
To begin with we must first learn what social media detoxing is , like any other
detox the goal is to try and get rid of something that may be affecting you in order
for us to feel better.So in the case of social media detoxing , we’re mainly talking
about taking a step back from these platform in order to reduce our dependence
on them.Having Looked at the definition of what the aim of social media detoxing
is , we can now look at why its important for us to do it.You have to know that
taking sometime off can be a bit difficult at first but with time , you’ll be able to go
off long periods of time.
1. Reduces Pressure.
With all the things that we see on social media like cars, holiday destinations,
money and the nice jewellery, It can make us feel like you have to own all those
things in order for people to appreciate you or look at you some kind of way.Its
Important for everyone to remember that social media doesn’t define who they
are, try to get a grip of yourself and know who you are.This can only be done if
you take sometime off your phone.
2. Limits The Amount of Destruction’s
Detoxing from social media will allow you to get rid of things that are using up
most of your time, using these social platforms is great but its when we start to
depend on them which makes them a destruction.If you spend too much time on
your phone it will cause you to be less productive, being productive is what makes
us achieve whatever we want to and that’s why try to take a bit of a break.
3.Increases Your Success
I know most of you are thinking about what this means and have some doubts ,
but it will become clear after you read a few more lines.They way we define
success depends on what you as an individual picture as success , so if your
pictorial vision of success Is based on the things that you see on social media then
it will change the way you think.
Often are the times you look at our achievements and say we haven’t done
anything, when in actual sense you’ve become a total different person from
before. Am not saying you can’t use it to inspire you to work harder but , just try to
appreciate what your efforts and by doing this you’ll be more likely to gain
success.
4.Less Negativity
When you’re constantly on social media you tend to develop the habit of seeking
peoples approval indirectly which is through the form of likes and dislikes, which
will have a negative impact on you especially when a post doesn’t get the amount
of likes that you wanted.This will sometimes leave you feeling disappointed with
yourself , which will affect you emotionally and mentally.The best thing to do is get
rid of this energy by rediscovering yourself.
5. Improve Your Relationship With Others
When we spend all day looking at our phones , we tend to isolate ourselves from
everyone.This isolation will cause us to neglect the people around us and if his
will only weaken the bond between you and them. So keep that in mind when you
start noticing yourself becoming more distant and take time to think of what you
can change.
6. Give Your Eyes some rest
This one is a pretty obvious one but it has to be stated, a benefit of social detoxing
is you get to give your eyes the much needed rest that they deserve to have.Did
you know that using your phone too much can affect your sleeping pattern ? ,
well apparently it can and if you don’t get that rest it will have a usage impact on
the amount of energy that you can put in.
7. Promotes Self Care
As you start to detox from social media ,it becomes much easier for you to
practise self care properly. Taking great care of yourself is important as it’ll help
you improve your well-being, each of us have to take sometime to have a few little
tips on personal care.
8. New Interests
Now that you’ll have enough time to think about things , it might be a good time for
you to find a new interest.Most of the time we don’t get to learn new things not
because we can’t but , because we just haven’t got to try.That being said when
you start to detox you’ll be able to learn new things.
In conclusion that was our post on the importance of social media detoxing , I
hope it shaded more light on the topic and you something from this post.Like we
said before taking time off social media won’t be easy but it with time it can be
done.
