Stop using Social Media; do this instead.

 The Dark Truth about Social Media and how to escape it.

We’ve all heard of social media by now. It’s everywhere. You probably have already heard a lot about why social media is bad. This post will remind you of all the bad things and show you the better alternatives. This post will be your ultimate guide to quitting social media and improving your life.

Step 1

The first step is to realize what’s wrong with social media. Social media makes you feel worse, makes you anxious, takes away a sh*t load of time, and gives you (almost) nothing in return.

Just stop using it; the very few benefits aren’t worth it. Besides that, the short-term dopamine isn’t healthy and definitely not good in the long term.

Step 2

The second step will be removing all social media. This probably seems difficult, and I imagine you have a thousand excuses not to do it, but do it. You don’t need it. You’ve only told yourself you need it. It really doesn’t matter whether you’re in that group chat or on Instagram or not; real friends will meet you in real life, and they will have your phone number.

You have to stop procrastinating and start taking action. That’s the only way you’ll ever be able to improve your life. You have to do the hard things; no one else can do it for you.

So go ahead and delete all of your social media. Yes, even when you’re a content creator. You can still use the web apps, and you’re probably just wasting your time creating content there and making the world a worse place.

Step 3

After cutting out a bad habit like social media, you will miss it. You will want it, and you will be bored because of how much time you now have. That’s why you must replace bad habits with good ones. You must have decided to develop good habits now that you are usually on social media.

Here are some examples of good habits:

Reading

Meditating

Journaling

Exercising

Spending time with close friends or family

Working on an interesting project

Learning (courses, books, etc.)

Quote

Here’s a quote for this one:

“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” ~ John Dryden
