6 Mindful social media tips to make your life happier!
Ever spent hours scrolling your timeline and just going through random stuff on your social media accounts?
If so, then you are not alone.
We have all been there and to be honest, this is one of the bad things about social media.
While it is a great way to stay connected to your loved ones and keep yourself updated, social media can also affect your lives adversely if you are not careful. In fact, do you know that stress, anxiety, and depression are common side effects of excessive social media usage? Yes, you can actually get depressed with Tik Tok!
This is why it is important to monitor your social media usage carefully and use your time on social media “Mindfully”. This might sound hard to do (we know it does), but don’t worry, we got these amazing tips you can follow to make it easier:
2) Have your phone on silent mode:
Silent mode is a blessing. Use it!
We have a very short attention span and an irrelevant notification can distract you from tasks at hand. Always keep your phone on silent mode and don’t let social media disturb your daily life anymore.
4) Detox from social media sometimes:
Keep it simple! If you are not using a social media app; simply delete it for your own well-being. After all, you can always download the app again ;)
6) Purposeful using:
If you are not careful, you can end up wasting hours (yes, hours) on social media. That’s why always ask yourself “Why am I here again?”. If you are just killing time with it, maybe logging off is a better idea. Maybe look for a new hobby or think about not killing but investing your time in something more fun or even learning a new thing!
1) Turn off Notifications on all social media:
Believe it or not, turning off notifications for social media is a great tip to save time. We spend enough time using our cellphones already and by simply turning of the social media notifications, you can focus on things that are actually important.
Be in control over when and how often you want to spend time online.
3) Never click on ads:
Avoid clicking irrelevant ads or even ads altogether. As soon as you click an ad, more and more of the same type of ads will flood your timeline and that is manipulative.
5) Choose MINDFULLY who you want to follow/Check-in:
Ever felt compared to those good-looking (and with perfect lives) influencers? Social media can be a great source of learning and inspiration if you are following THE RIGHT PEOPLE. Always, choose a small scale of people that you want to follow and gain inspiration from to stop aimless scrolling and comparing.
Wrapping it up:
Social media can be a blessing where you learn new skills and connect to your loved ones or it can turn out to be a source of depression and stress if you are not careful. Visit imenough.co to learn more useful tips on social media usage and spend your time wisely and other helpful resources.
