THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX- THE ULTIMATE GUIDE!!

Like it’s just a quote that I have found: “Sometimes we need to unplug to recharge”.

So, it is examined that social media is affecting the lifestyle of teenagers. From the social media, a high number of teenagers’ mental and physical energy is spent to their lives. Social Media Detox is the process of distancing oneself from using social media apps and not letting restrain the daily life routine. So, there must be various questions arriving in your mind that what is social media detox? Why is it needed to be detoxed? And so on. So, to help you to just get started, we need to know some disadvantages of social media detox. Here are the disadvantages of social media detox: -

  • Sensitive teenagers with low self -esteem fall prey to the toxic ambience on social media. It is tough for them to look at the perfect skin, body, and dress of people around them. 
  • Mindlessly scrolling and tapping from one app to the other just for a second but when realized that an hour has passed by without knowing. So, there is too much waste of time and a lack of mindfulness.
  • Bullying has gone to another level with the presence of trolls and memes among teenagers on social media.




HOW TO TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA: -

  1. LIMIT YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA TIME: Completely cutting off from social media may be very tough for you. So, try reducing your social media consumption for a short period of time, i.e. for 30minutes a day. Doing self -control with media usage can have a positive impact on your life.
  2. TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS: Many people often start their digital disconnection period by deleting some apps or muting or blocking notifications from the media sites. This strategy can be useful in restraining the urge to look at and replying to the constant messages alert.
  3. DISCONNECT BEFORE BEDTIME: Destress your brain by avoiding digital devices or screens at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. This screen passes the blue light which delays the sleep-inducing melatonin which affects sleep quality. This action will help you avoid any distractions and promote restful sleep.
  4. INCREASE FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTIONS: Spending excess time online can decrease offline interactions, which can negatively impact your mental health. So, as such, focusing on your current relationships, reaching out to friends and relatives, enhancing your social life, and so forth can foster a healthier mindset, boost your mood, and leave you more satisfied.





So, in conclusion, detoxes are good. They give you time to focus on other things and can help you manage your time, energy and mental health. If you have a difficult time unplugging completely from media, consider visiting many websites that offer educational benefits, today. Use the time to engage in offline activities that make you happy. Whether it’s reading, going for a hike, meditating, or listening to podcasts on your topic of interest, these activities give your mind the relaxation it deserves.





So, at last I will conclude by saying a quote or a sentence that: You don’t need to keep sharing things on social media. You can still grow and glow in private and that’s all that matters:).

RISHIKESH UNVEILED:)

  Like Rachel Wolchin said, “if we were meant to stay at one place we would have roots instead of feet.” When I first landed my feet in ‘the land of gods, Uttarakhand’ , I experienced a sense of calm, oneness and serenity, almost as if someone had picked me up from the crowded and polluted Delhi and transferred me to a heaven like place which breathed tranquility. The air never felt as fresh and sweet, the skies never seemed to be as clear, strangers never felt like acquaintances, but the time I spent in Rishikesh, it made me experience all this and so much more. After the hectic college exam season, it was just the break I needed to reconnect with my divine self and reflect on my actions and self actualize while sitting at the banks of Ganga Mata.  MY EXPERIENCE It is well known that wherever we go, it somehow becomes a part of you, and till now i just thought of this statement as a quote. But being at that serene place for a few days made me connect to that quote deeply. Ris...
