Getting off social media is a healthy exercise. It allows you to get rid of negativity in your life. You can also focus on other more important things. The problem is you already got used to social media, and you don’t know what to do without it. So here are some tips to help you move on even without using social media.

Get a hobby

When was the last time you pursued a hobby? Now is the perfect time to do it. Since you already eliminated a time-consuming activity, you can do other things. From gardening to reading books, you will enjoy pursuing these hobbies.

Talk to your friends

You usually message your friends on social media. You also interact through the comment section. However, you have not had a deep conversation for a while. You might want to stop using social media and talk to your friends via phone. You can also spend as much time as you want to get to know each other better. Your friends might also pretend to do well on social media, but there are issues to deal with. You can help by pursuing that conversation.

Take a steam shower

How long do you usually spend in the shower? If you’re always in a hurry, you don’t have to do it now. Instead, go to the bathroom and take steam showers for as long as you want. Bathing should be a relaxing experience and not something that you do because you have no choice.

Exercise

You keep telling yourself that you’re busy and you have no time to exercise. The truth is you can spend hours on social media, and you don’t mind doing it. Since you already eliminated it from your schedule, you can pursue different exercise techniques. You don’t even have to leave home or enroll in a gym. Open some YouTube videos and enjoy exercising.

Plan ahead

You’re always in a hurry because you don’t schedule your activities well. Since you have more time, you can start creating your weekly or monthly schedule. You can even plan a trip and check your bucket list soon. It feels good when you can do these things since you already have sufficient time.

Redecorate your house

Redecorating your place takes time and effort. When you have plenty of time, it’s time to do it. You don’t even need to get inspiration online. Determine what will improve your place to make it feel more comfortable. You will enjoy the process and be proud of what you can accomplish.

There’s nothing wrong with social media use. The problem is you spend too much time browsing your newsfeed or watching tons of entertaining videos. If you can’t control your social media use, it helps to have a time out. You should learn to control yourself. You can do many things when you’re not on social media. You can always get back once you finish your digital detox.
