While it's great to have the intention to replace social media with other activities, kicking a mindless scrolling habit is easier said than done ... especially because tapping into certain apps often feels automatic, and by nature, social media is addictive. In other words, once you start, it's hard to stop. If you do happen to open one of your social media apps or want to spend a certain amount of time on them every day to keep up with things (and hey, sometimes social media can make us really happy!), simply set a timer for 15 minutes, or however long you want to spend on the app, and get off of it when the timer's up. You can also use you phone as a kind of timer and have it let you know when your time on an app is up. Just don't fall into the trap of extending that time! Trust us, with a little time and effort, you'll be spending a lot less tie on social media and more time doing real-life things that actually make you happy.
