Social media use can bring some good stuff, but some bad stuff too.
If you’re feeling fine about your social media habits, no problem.
- But, if you’re feeling stressed, unhappy, and disconnected, it might make sense to take a social media detox.
- First decide the length of the detox you’ll take. It can be as brief as a week or as long as a year.
- Yes, some people swear off social media for a year, and some people swear off it forever.
Once you’ve decided the length of the detox, deactivate your social media accounts and delete the apps from your phone.
If you’re worried that you won’t maintain your social media detox, try apps like Freedom and Self Control to limit your access to Instagram and Facebook on your phone and computer.
