    let's live with more intention 😌 sometimes the internet scares me and i go back to my safety blanket of loneliness and media (minus social). here's a gentle reminder to take days off when you need and preserve your mental & physical health above all!!

    the endless scrolling has definitely gone a tad out of control for me - i'm still a bit scared of all the free time that would come from deleting my apps for a couple of days but the idea is still so intriguing so huge hats off to you for being able to be so proactive about your life and goals!

      @@sterrevanhuijstee hmm well you can either delete your social media apps from your phone for the 24 hours OR turn off your phone, put it somewhere out of sight, and leave it there for the 24 hours. But I would recommend having someone in your family/household keep you accountable! That way when you’re tempted to go on your phone, they can stop you. I actually made a video on why I deleted Instagram last year and I have more thoughts/tips in that video! :) hope this helps

    After the first week of class, I feel SO behind. I realized I don't have time for myself because I spend too much time mindlessly scrolling on Instagram, or even just watching random RUclips videos I really don't have interest in because I finished watching all the videos from my favourite creators. I'm usually not too bad with using my cellphone, but over the course of the quarantine, it really has become a problem. You've inspired me to try it myself, I just don't know if I could do it for a full week!!

I feel like it’s so easy to try using social media as a distraction or for gratification but it never does make one feel better. Anyway, this video was so inspiring, and I’m glad your detox made you feel better :,) thanks for vlogging your experience!

    I’m currently on another social media break as well. I like to take these every few weeks!! Not sure if I’ll do 2 weeks or 3, it always depends how long I feel like I’m ready to go back. I’m also using this time to work out, (haven’t done that yet lol) grow my spirituality, eating healthier, work on online school and things like that. I’ve decided to be a content creator on Instagram though, and avoid Twitter. If that makes sense.

    I was just uploading my third RUclips video ever when your video popped up 😎 I deleted social media a year ago. I lost my phone while traveling and decided on not getting a new one until my trip ended. After 3 months without a smartphone (I got a cheap flip phone for emergencies), I felt so relieved and so much less anxious, that decided to quit social media for as long as I could. P.S.: I’m currently binge-watching true beauty 😅

    I'm so jelly you get to watch Chinese cinema for your course work. Hopefully you get to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Also if you're looking for good xianxia drama to watch (I'm not sure if you're into them), I highly recommend Love and Destiny. The female and male lead are very different than what we usually see in dramas. It has a slow start, but it's still very good.
