I stopped using Instagram and YouTube for 90 days and here’s what happened: 😟
The first few weeks were challenging since I did not allow my brain the activities it wanted.
I was struggling with my own mind 😒
I had a lot to explore but this time not to scroll; explore in real that make some sense in life.
Excess of anything is bad is what people usually say, but the thing with social media platforms is that they are much more than bad when we started consuming it in excess amount.
Without YouTube and Instagram, 24 hours of a day seems like; Why they were so long.
To not get bored 😴 without YouTube and Instagram, I started reading books. And, undoubtfully It was one of the best decision of my life.
Time and love can heal anything. Likewise, reading could heal something too.
I read the books that I always wanted to read but I was delaying them for some reason.
I became more mindful of the little things around me, I don’t know for sure but I felt more empathetic.
When I had nothing else to do I just sat by myself and let my thoughts wander.
It felt good by doing nothing at all. It gave me time to reflect on my life and my goals.
I used to sleep around midnight and occasionally far past midnight, but that has improved. However, without social media, I began to feel sleepy considerably earlier.
I felt that suddenly I have more than 24 hours in a day to get all things done and still have time left to spend times with my loved ones 🥰
