I recently been feeling the need to get away from Social Media. I remember it being such a great place to express my individuality and creativity. But as technology grows and times change when a new generation takes over... There's just been too much... chaos. There's no original ideas, there's just the same things over and over. People express themselves through others expressions. Its very... disconnecting. I, for one, thought that I would never get tired of being able to share and express myself. But its becoming more of job than being something of a hobby. It takes the fun right out of it. So I figured, lets just a take a break from it. Take a break from Social Media. My problem is, I still had access to it.
Fast forward to this past month, which has been a difficult one on a personal note. I stumbled upon the "No Distractions Challenge" video. Since now of days everyone is so distracted and dependent on our phones, why not get rid of what is distracting you on there. The challenge is that you clean up your phone, get rid of the Social Media accounts that you often check every damn second, turn off the annoying notifications, and declutter your phone life. I never felt so inspired to gain more time and gain back my life. So I cleaned up my phone.
I'm going on week 2 without Social Media apps and I realized all the notifications and even text messages that corresponded to what I posted are no longer a problem. I've had more time to breathe and enjoy the moments of my life. I have never felt so good. I still have to deal with the twitchy fingers though of checking an app.... which thankfully are not there. It feels less stressful. I definitely recommend anyone to try it and see how you feel after.
That's all for now.
