Brainwash yourself with good habits. You need to do it the way you would train a dog - fetch the stick and get a treat.

I love listening to music but I also wanted to start listening to podcasts. I have to go to work everyday, and I prefer to drive myself to work and back.

I know that if I make myself listen to podcasts both drives, the habit will last not more than 3 days.

But if I make myself listen to a podcast on the way to work; and listen to my favourite music on the way back home to de-stress and relax; now that’s a healthy compromise. And it works for the long term.

The same goes with social media. I deleted all social media from my phone. I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, or even tumblr on my phone. The YouTube account that I keep on my phone has been very consciously kept; I only allow the algorithm to show me educational stuff like podcasts, history videos, news, psychology, stuff like that. Absolutely no entertainment. I keep all my social media (and my “fun” YouTube account which is basically Korean mukbangs and all sorts of useless beauty hauls that I honestly love to watch) on another device - my iPad, which I use for work. I check out what’s happening on tumblr or YouTube or Pinterest when it’s my lunch break or a coffee break. That’s another healthy compromise that works for me.

Going cold turkey with anything - stopping something addictive like smoking or drinking or suddenly starting a plethora of new habits- doesn’t work. You’ve restricted your mind and body so much that you keep remember the good old days where you drank like a whale and sat on the couch watching rubbish and you glamorise, romanticise and reminisce those times. Now you’re in that dangerous red zone where you know that if you see that bottle or the packet of chips, your body is going to reach for it before your mind can intervene.

Aim for long-term, sustainable albeit small habits, rather than complex overnight habits.

any suggestions on how reduce screen time and stop wasting time on social media?

a hard one (who doesnt spend a little bit too much in their phones) but a few ideas to try out

A widget on your phone about how much screen time you had. A lot of phones come with this option, it lets you know how much time you spend entirently on your phone and usually, the top 3 most used apps of the day. There is nothing that makes one feel more guilty than going to watch tiktok and next to the app there is widget that tells you you already spend 2hours and 30 minutes on it that day.

Social media feeds are made to be addictive, that's why you open the app to see a notification and end up spending 3 hours on it. If you think something like "I'm just going to see if my crush posted a story" or "I'll see how my lastest post did and then i'll do the homework" DONT. You'll open the app with the intention of only 5 minutes and we all know it isnt going to be 5 minutes.

Set alarms. Set a "goal" like, only using it for 20 minutes. Set the alarm in your phone and when it sounds, close the app.

Try other activities. We mostly go to our phones because we are bored. Go on a walk, clean you room, cook cookies, read a book, draw, talk to someone irl. Look for alternatives. Some of them will be difficult at start (social media is known for ruining attention span and things like reading requiere that), do it gradually.

Hope this helps!

Solitude is your path of personal independence -

Being alone makes me really happy its like my special place where i can be myself and feel good i don't feel the need for another person to take responsibility for my happiness and emotional needs and i don't really want somebody in the phase i am in i can think and be creative without any interruptions it's like a peaceful break from everything else

Being alone helps me find peace in simple things like reading or walking outside these moments refresh me and make me feel more creative. Being alone also helps me understand myself better now I can think deeply about my feelings and thoughts which helps me grow as a person indeed.

Solitude is a phase that teaches you how to handle your emotions and bad days without relying on someone else. It actually teaches you how to live without depending on others and without ranting about your problems to them

And i want to message those people who constantly seek emotional support from everyone and keep crying that they need someone i feel they need to work on themselves or they have to accept the situation and think about what they can do themselves..instead of constantly seeking attention. Seeking attention all the time makes you mentally weak remember that. I feel that they should question themselves "Why do i need someone else am i not enough?"

Being alone doesn't mean staying comfortable It's about finding strength and discovering who you are ...it's about facing challenges, overcoming fears, and becoming stronger ..when you're alone you have the power to chase your dreams and conquer obstacles so don't think it's not brave to be alone it actually shows how strong and determined you really are.

Solitude makes you quickly observe things around you apart from the world of social media. If you begin on a journey of self discovery and learn to be with yourself ...you won't feel the need for others as much. This journey is very difficult I'm not saying that it's easy lol no!! especially for those who can't live without relying on others but if you want your future self to thank you then don't hesitate just start today . Because today's generation is busy distracting people but we need to bring self control. If you want to understand yourself better.

It took me three years to get in this habit and now i don't need anyone. I don't like to share my problems with anyone because i don't feel it's necessary. I have made myself mentally strong to the point where i don't feel the need for a second person

Last Note :

And if you guys have any questions or anything to ask related to this don't hesitate you can ask me freely :) thanks for giving your time

I have a self discovery questions sheets so that you can guys know yourself better if you want that Dm me 🎀

HOW TO HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX ୭ 🧸✧ ˚.

today, social media has become an integral part of our lives. however, it's important to take breaks from social media to prioritize our mental well-being. here are some steps to have an effective social media detox:

SET GOALS

ask yourself why you want to have a social media detox. this could be to reduce stress, gain confidence, increase productivity, etc...

BOUNDARIES

decide on the duration and extent of your detox. you can choose to deactivate your accounts (temporarily) or limit usage to specific times of the day.

UNFOLLOW AND MUTE

unfollow accounts that don't bring you joy or contribute positively to your life. mute notifications to minimize distractions.

FIND ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES

replace the time you would spend on social media with other activities you enjoy such as, drawing, reading, or spending time with loved ones. if you don't have any hobbies that you know you enjoy, try picking up new ones.

SELF REFLECTION

use the time away from social media to reflect of your values, goals, and aspirations. focus on self care and personal growth.

SUPPORT

let your family and friends know about your detox plan to gain their support and encouragement. consider joining support groups or online communities that promote digital well-being.

the bleak mid-winter

src: celine

y'know what's really annoying? after a few days of social media detox, without a lot of time/energy for in-person socialization, eventually my brain craves what little social interaction it gets from social media. or maybe i'm just mistaking it for dopamine. who knows. and just bc it's social media, eventually what was a tool to keep me accountable and keep me from getting *too* lonely, becomes a source of procrastination and unhealthy comparison and ugh it's a double-edged sword, i freaking hate it.

anyway, i guess i'm back.

updates will be whenever i feel like it (possibly sporadic as i'm *trying* to get my shit together through non-social-media accountability measures) bc i stopped counting days on 100dop++ bc it was getting annoying to keep track.

true to my studying hermit lifestyle, nothing much of note happened since i've been away. still chugging along, reviewing notes/R from stats course (i have so many thoughts about self-studying R and codecademy vs other resources 😒 perhaps i'll make a post when i have time...) and catching up on both psyc and pharmacology while trying not to fall behind on philosophy. (i made good progress on psyc over the weekend, so i'm not super behind anymore, which is good. i expect to be able to finish catching up on everything by tmr.)

FYI

From 1/1 to 1/8, I will be taking a social media hiatus.

This short hiatus means no Tumblr, no Discord, no YouTube, no Facebook, no Instagram, and ditching any other platform that is considered "social media".

I will be using this time to write, read books, watch movies, build puzzles, play video games, and do other things I enjoy. Basically, just a week long social media detox.

I will be back online on 1/9.

I'll reblog this post a couple of times and add the info to my pinned post just in case.

Love y'all 💚

i am canceling all social media accounts except tumblr cause this site is least toxic place on internet.

i want to be person i was before phone became favorite past time.

let's see how long it will take before my determination melts like everything else

anyone else want to participate? idk, if you want, if you already went through this ordeal share how did it go and how long were you on detox and if you have any fellow advice.

especially fellow writers, tell me if you too feel time spent on internet is killing your creative braincells.

also do you write on phone or with pen in notebook? do you feel while using notes app saves lot of time, that it can also be very distracting cause, again, internet is too close?

things that can take a toll on your mindset + mental health - 7/11/23

tw- talk about true crime + talk about truama ~stay safe~ <3

true crime/scary videos-

this is actually more important than it seems (this is just my experience, other people might feel differently than me and that’s okay). when I watch true crime or scary vids, I get scared & paranoid that something horrific might happen to me + i think it’s quite traumatic to hear what happens in most true crime cases, it makes you imagine horrible things and it stains your mind.

furthermore, i’d like to share something that has been bothering me for awhile which has resulted from watching true crime vids. The Columbine Massacre. let me just state that I DO NOT condone what the shooters did. rather i am fascinated with the case and psychology behind it. here’s what’s been bothering me, it’s been on my mind 24/7 and i hate it. I really want to think of other things but i can’t seem to shake it out of my mind, if anyone has any tips to help this please message me.

if you are into true crime like me, i recommend limiting it or cutting it out of your life completely as it unnecessarily causing harm.

sad/violent music-

music can really affect your mood, listening to sad or violent music while trying to heal will more often than not make you feel worse/sad, it can make you remember past trauma or overthink. there’s hope though, personally i love upbeat pop music + kpop. upbeat music can raise your mood and make you happier, here’s some music I recommend: any dua lipa music, blackpink/itzy, just like magic from ariana grande.

social media-

it’s quite known that social media is bad for your mental health but still lots of us are addicted to it (including me). with social media you can fall into the comparison trap which makes you compare your life to influencers or other people. i always try to remember that they post fake/edited photos and only post the good things, social media is really toxic and if you’re trying to heal or practice self love/care, i recommend limiting your use of the apps or even outright deleting them.

if you limit social media i recommend following motivational & inspiring people such as tam kaur, thewizardliz, persephonesblood & jayciesdiary.

reminder- even if you’re sad, don’t give up! bad days are normal & inevitable, remember to treat yourself with kindness like you would a friend! <3🩵

this was a bit of a different post but i hope you liked it! <3

I have too many followers and I must scream

(I do not like social media and am angry at myself for becoming invested in it from boredom. I don't trust these people. And I especially hate the undue sentiment I attach to mutuals when they can, have, and will end up being really mean to me. Like I do not want to judge Everyone I hang around on Tumblr by the actions of a few. But the fact of the matter is I don't Know any of you personally and I hate social media for this. It gives you the illusion of knowing someone, and even those you are very friendly with, it is probably a bad idea to become attached to in any capacity. There's always the sensation of being Watched and Judged, which is doubly bad for paranoid people. I am not on the extreme end of paranoia like some people I've talked to {I hope you are doing well} but I do tend towards it. But it's bad for everyone. Social media, I'd argue, is bad for everyone. Unless you don't use it like a social media and just look for pictures of cats or something.. that sounds really nice. The internet should have stayed that way. We should gather around pictures of cats and only get personal in PMs.)

(I don't actually desire anywhere near the following I have now and definitely no more than it. It is on my list of self-improvement things I'll eventually work through to swear off social media pretty much entirely. I do not want to extend undue sentiment and trust to people who don't like or trust me. But I know I have an unhealthy habit of wanting to connect with others while conveniently ignoring any red flags or incompatibilities. But then facing, reckoning with what I myself have done to hurt me in this fashion is very painful. It is not the fault of other people that I have liked them. But mine for jumping too quickly and happily into enjoying other people with no regard for my own safety or future happiness. Now I am trying to indiscriminately weed out those that make me feel negatively in any way. And it's *hard.* It's still hard even knowing that someome flat out doesn't respect me or discriminates against me to sever all ties. Repeatedly. Reminding myself "these people are not your friends and you do not owe them anything.")

(I am sorry to those who *do* want to work it out or change their hateful views or what have you. Who want to have a peaceful actual friendship or at least a peaceful acquaintanceship. But I'm going to try harder now to set healthy boundaries with social media.)

(It has been miserable, I am going to set time limits and actually stick to them. If you want to talk more urgently or privately, I can be reached on Discord. But, that aside, I need a serious detox and I'm going to try to either spend time by myself or with people I am truly good friends or at least decent acquaintances with.)

Happy holidays, and I urge you to try to cut down on time and investment in social media with me.

#social media #rambles #mental health #i cannot stress how universally damaging the standard way of using social media is #even just the standard way. not even getting involved in discourse or spending too much time on it or what have you #social media detox #*shaking myself*#YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE MY GOOD SIR

I am, as I’ve often been, torn about my internet usage. I do love things about tumblr of course, but one thing I’ve been thinking about is this urge to scroll. Even when I’m not really in the mood for tumblr or hardly paying attention, I just physically crave scrolling. This'll continue even when I’m caught up on posts; I’ll go to reddit or the news to keep scrolling somewhere and that’s even worse lol. I know FOMO is a part of it for sure, but I also feel like I’m searching for something... I guess just distraction, entertainment, anything to get that dopamine hit one gets when scrolling upon something that sparks interest in any way (even negatively). But I’m not thinking about that stuff in the moment really, or even if I am, the urge of “well, I’m just going to go check real quick...” seems so harmless and logical, regardless of how recently I’ve checked or other things I need/want to be doing.

I always think about what if the time I spent online each day was spent reading instead; I’d actually be the bookworm I envision myself to be! Or even just life in general - so many things could be different. Hell, even if I just switched my internet time to TV/movie time, I’d be enjoying tons of shows/movies I’ve always wanted to watch that have been on a perennial list. I wish it were that simple though.
