These are just some of the signs that you are addicted to social media, so keep on reading to find how to stop this addiction with these easy steps.
Turn off notifications
When you turn off notifications on your phone, you stop being disturbed and you become more focused in anything else you are doing. So, don’t worry, you won’t miss anything happening online. You will still get notified and you can check what’s going on all at once, instead of being distracted many times during the day.
Find a time for a new hobby
Once you cut down your time spent on social media, you will find out that you actually have some spare time. Use this time wisely and go on and learn a new hobby. Who knows, maybe you will find what you love and get addicted to it, instead of wasting your time on News Feed.
Spend time with your dear ones in real time
Instead of texting and sending selfies, leave your phone and go on and spend some time with your loved ones. Go for a lunch or maybe spend some time in nature where you can also recharge yourself and thus feel better.
Go offline for at least a day!
Once in a while, you can try to go offline at least for a day. If you cannot do it on your own, get your loved one or some friends and go on some adventure trip. You can spend the night in the woods, sleeping under the stars. Or simply book a night in some place where there is no Wi-fi and see for a change what’s going on around you. Once you get to love this, you will for sure do it more often.
There are so many beautiful things going on in the real life, so don’t miss them by living behind the screen.
