Deleted Social Media, What’s Next?

Hey guys! My name is Tyla, this is my first post on Lemon8, and I’ve deleted all social media off of my phone except for this app :) I found social media just slowly becoming so toxic for me, and as a small singer songwriter and song producer, i get so jealous when I see others like me flourishing with their music and becoming more successful. I’ve decided to delete social media so that I don’t have anything to compare myself to anymore. I feel free to be myself and not feel jealous of others. I feel free to make music and go places, and be with family and friends instead of scrolling endlessly on social media like a zombie! so this is day 1, and so far i feel so happy and refreshed 🤗 i don’t plan on getting it back anytime soon but I invite you to join me on my journey of this social media detox!

... Read moreIn today's digital age, the effects of social media on mental health have gained significant attention. Many individuals, like Tyla, have recognized the toxic nature of these platforms and the hindrance they can pose to personal growth and creativity. Studies show that excessive social media use can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression, as users often compare their lives to the curated images of others. By disconnecting from social media, individuals can reclaim their time, foster more meaningful connections with loved ones, and pursue their passions without distraction. This detox can create space for self-reflection, allowing for personal growth and increased productivity. For those considering a social media detox, consider setting clear goals, engaging in hobbies, and establishing a support system that encourages your new lifestyle. Remember, it's essential to prioritize your mental well-being and focus on what truly matters in your life.

This is my second day of social media detox, and It’s hard as f**k not to go back. The only apps I have are Lemon8 and Pinterest also TikTok may delete soon IDK. My mind is studying drivers license handbook and I’m confident that I will get it.
