What is a social media fast?
It is just what it sounds like: a break from social media.
During this time you can either delete all of your social apps (not your accounts, don’t worry) or you can test your discipline and leave them on your phone.
You can do this fast for multiple reasons and any length of time. Personally, I did it for three months just to see if I could actually do it.
You could do it for a year, a month, a week or even a day. Even a day can make a big impact on you.
Another thing, you don’t even have to quit using ALL social media, just the most influential to you.
Why should I do a Social media fast?
One great reason to do a fast is to focus on school.
Anyone else struggling to study right now? Yeah, me too!
It seems like every time I get ready to study, I end up scrolling through instagram or tiktok.
Taking a break from social media allowed me to focus on bettering myself and doing things that actually added value to my life. I ended up coming up with a great morning routine that was pretty easy to follow through with when I didn’t lay in bed on instagram all day.
Need another reason?
What about your self esteem?
If you have been comparing yourself to all those perfect instagram influencers… It’s time to stop!
Those photos are just highlights of their lives. They aren’t posting those late nights where they feel like their life is falling apart.
Taking a break from social media can let you appreciate just how lucky you are to live the life you do.
What I Learned From My Experience
- I have such an exciting life!
- Most of my social apps add very little value to my life.
- Social media takes up A LOT of my life.
- Social Media Addiction is real.
- Life is worth so much more than an instagram post.
- Taking a break doesn’t completely change your life.
- You have plenty of time in a day. You just don’t use it well.
- Most of your “friends” won’t reach out when you get off social media.
- Instagram, tiktok, twitter and others aren’t your enemy if you don’t let it be.
