Social media addiction and choisesmaking

So not a long time ago I realized that I make so many daily choices on the basics of NOTHING, and later it gives the same results. In this post I will reflect on why do I do it.

The reasons I do things now:

1. To be cool
2. To be beautiful
3. To get joy
4. To have an aestetic
5. To be perfect
6. To meet expectations

The reasons I want things to be done:

1. To be happy
2. To express myself
3. To improve myself and to invest in my future
4. To build a great community
5. To try something new
6. To stay healthy and sustainable

Let’s think: why the first reasons don’t make me happy and satisfied with my life? Five of six points are concentrsated on the other prople: be cool — for who?; be beautiful — for who? etc.

It’s time to speak about the number 3. “To get joy”

Have you ever noticed that now you don’t enjoy things that you were supposed to enjoy? I have. This time I’m trying to be happy, but every moment that was supposed to be magical, becomes usual. I don’t feel magic anymore, all I can do — to fake.

What is the cause of it and how to go back to “normal life”?

Yesterday a youtube-video told me that the reason is…………SOCIAL MEDIA. Babaaam

When I heard that, it just didn’t make sense. I kept scrolling Pinterest and Instagram, moreover, I wanted to start posting something again. It was 15 minutes ago, when I realized that I don’t engoy it. I simply scroll, and want more and more and more visual content. It is addiction.

What am I going to do?

If I say that I will delete SM, I will lie. I simply can’t do it, because it is how I keep in touch with my friends (i mean dms, not stories and posts).

The way I found for myself — to replace them with something, that has the same nature, but that won’t f*ck my brain every day. So I will keep only insta, but only for dms. I’ll try to found some way to hide stories and the feed.

Replacement

Pinterest scrolling = Looking on real people on the streets

Tik Tok = Dancing (real dance!)

Instagram = 1SE (a program where you have to make 1 photo every single day) + this blog❤

It is going to be hard, I know, but it defiinitely worth it. The only thing I’m still in — telegram. I follow a bunch of channels, that help me stay motivated and inspired.

I am not sure what results will I have and how soon, but I will write about them in this blog.

Thank you for reading,

Have a nice day!:)

The mantra of the day;)
