How do you detox from social media?

So, if you're curious about trying a social media detox, here are some of my top tips: Think about distractions. ... Tell your friends and family. ... Silent mode and Do Not Disturb are your best friends. ... Remember you don't need to be available 24/7. ... Turn off your notifications. ... Don't be too hard on yourself!

Aglaia:

Over the years, I’ve realised that I have to be in the right mindset to deal with social media and, more importantly, I don’t need to seek acceptance from others at all costs if I can accept myself. For me, having a social media detox does not necessarily mean removing myself from social media completely. Rather, it means being more mindful of how social media makes me feel. In the modern world, avoiding social media altogether is difficult. But by reminding ourselves of the importance of self-acceptance and self-love, we can learn to have a better relationship with social media. Part of that is using it in a way that feels authentic and positive for us. In 2018, when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, my whole world collapsed. I was ashamed, lonely and I felt misunderstood. I had to get away from social media, focus on myself and remove all the noise. Already feeling inadequate because of my diagnosis, I didn’t need any reminders of my “abnormality”. But with time, as I learnt to accept my diagnosis, I also started to share my life unfiltered and use my experience to advocate against mental health stigma. Social media turned from a disturbing addiction to a way to express myself, live my values and try to make a small change.
