Social media has become the most addictive substance around. Having something takeover our lives is never a good thing. If your days and nights can be dominated by scrolling through social media, you may have a problem. This is when some time away can do you some good. Here are some benefits of a social media cleanse:
More Time For Other Activities- With so much time spent on social media, we can barely find time for other things. When you decide to cleanse, you will open up yourself to new activities. An example may be: taking a hour of that free time to start exercising. Social media can be a time suck, but a cleanse can bring that time back to you.
Stop The Comparison Trap- When we get on social media, we can’t help ourselves to compare. If our feed is filled with people seemingly living their best life, we wonder what we are doing wrong. Just know, everybody is just showing the best parts of their lives. People rarely post about anything bad happening to them. When we choose to cleanse, we stop the comparison and start to see life in a different light. You can start to feel better about yourself with a simple cleanse.
Increase In Productivity-Without the distractions of social media, you will start to see your productivity improve. You get to have the time to actually start doing the things you been putting off. Not worrying about posting or checking on the latest trends will help clear some time in your schedule. With this extra time you can learn to become more productive, and begin to get your life in order.
All in all, a social media cleanse will give you an incredible boost in life, period. How long you spend on your cleanse is up to you. It can be as short as a few hours or as long as a week. Just being more mindful of your social media time can have huge benefits. Your mental health will thank you.
This Christmas, decide to put your phone down and spend quality time with your family and friends. Being social in person is a 100 times better, so ditch social media just for a few hours and experience the beauty of good company.
Merry Christmas!!!
