Why I deleted social media

Vulnerability

🤍 I genuinely deleted social media last night… but it was something constantly in the back of my head. I am currently growing a relationship with God everyday more and more. Social media just started weighing on me and my mental.

- comparing myself to others

- comparing lifestyles to mine

- wardrobe

- relationships

you name it. Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Snapchat can all have great things on them — I love watching reels. BUT I noticed I spent more time on my explore page than on my regular followers… straight negativity and just a popularity contest. If you’re from NYC you know how it is. And, while i’m trying to grow a more positive and successful relationship with God, me watching all of this and constantly comparing my life I’m never going to be able to appreciate the life I live. which is beautiful as is (still has room for growth everyday of course).

So we took a break, it’s been a few hours and not having anything to just scroll on and watch videos is kind of ughhhhh let me log back on BUT I think taking time to focus on myself, my child, GOD, the gym and bettering my life without watching others will better me everyday.

In today's digital age, many individuals struggle with the impact of social media on their mental health. Taking a break from platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat can provide a refreshing perspective on life. People often find themselves caught in a cycle of comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. By eliminating the constant flow of curated images and content, individuals can focus on their own lives and relationships, fostering a healthier sense of self. Steps like practicing mindfulness, engaging in real-world interactions, and dedicating time to personal growth can significantly enhance mental well-being. Embracing a social media detox allows for self-reflection and the opportunity to cherish the beauty of everyday life. As many find solace in their faith and community, breaking free from social media often leads to a renewed sense of purpose and happiness. In conclusion, considering a temporary or permanent break from social media can pave the way for a more fulfilling life, free from distractions and negativity.
