While social media can be a great way to connect with friends and family, too much social media can make you feel lonely, depressed, anxious, and tired. Social media, especially when viewed excessively, can cause feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction with your own life. Deactivating social media for even a day could help you sleep better, improve personal connections and feel better about where you are in life once you stop comparing yourself to others’ social media feeds.
Also, consider turning off your phone for an hour or two, or better yet, the whole day. It can be liberating to put your phone away during a day of rest. You might find it a relief to spend part of a day not answering emails, texts and other messages from your phone.
