- Hi Friends, in today's video I share what I gained from deleting social media. If you would like a more in depth video please let me know in the comments. Do you think you could delete your social media?
Delete tiktok and Instagram about 2 months ago. Best decision of my life . My mind is so much clear.
Congratulations! Cheers to clarity!
It's been a month and a half for me and I feel so blessed to have a newfound clarity of mind and overall calmer approach to life.
@@maximilianraphael9853 Clarity and peace of mind are blessings!
Been off social media 6 months just changed my phone number I have never felt the PEACE and HAPPINESS
Congratulations . I wish you more peace and happiness ✨
@@chillinwithcharity Thank you😘
I deleted instagram and desactivated fb. And I realised how much the people I knew were attention seekers/insecure and boderline narcissist. Those traits were always there in real life. But with those social media, it amplized those traits.
You also realized who are your true friends and who you actually want to be friends with.
That is a good point about realizing who your friends are.
I noticed the same things. I gave my contacts notice I was deleting instagram on my status. 60 or 70 people viewed it by only 3 people sent DMs with contact information ℹ️. I deleted instagram. Months later people are asking where I’ve been
I noticed that too. Even about myself. Social media changed my whole personality for the worst had to get off that shit.
love the point about “who are you and what brings you pure joy?”
social media robs so much time and energy from us, we shouldn’t just focus on connecting with others but ourselves too 🙏
You are so right, We often forget to connect with ourselves, we look to the outside for happiness and joy instead of going within.
“i’m no longer friends with this person” took me out lmfao but you’re so right!
Lmaooo!
I deleted social media, now I have fully focus on my life and self, it's like I have right path to go, and I always have self assessment and discovery, the best decision in my life .
Love to see it ! Isn't it an amazing feeling!
Beautiful soul. I deleted social media too and it really helped me to live life to the fullest and enjoy the people around me.
It truly does. Thank you for being here.
I took a break from social media a while ago and I enjoyed it. Being present was definitely the highlight of my time away. I truly could enjoy my experiences with those that I was with instead of focusing on sharing it with those who were not.
It makes a difference when you are present in the moment, regardless of the activity.
When I go out, It's so interesting to see everyones head down.. on the train, walking, sitting, looking at a phone. To their defense, they could be doing something important or mindful but for me, it's more compelling and challenging to be present, hands free, mind open.
That is very true. Everyone at the dinner table on their phone and not talking to one another. Posting they had an amazing time. Ok, girl.
Wow. The lord is speaking to me with these videos - evidently.
Won't He do it, lol.
I've been off of social media for about a month-and-a-half now and I can't tell you how much my mental state has improved I also made sure that I wouldn't go back by changing my passwords to passwords that I wouldn't remember and it's been great for the moments when I think of going onto social media but i remind myself why im off of it. Its a great reward to finding actual meaningful things to do in your time that otherwise would be spent mindlessly scrolling looking for my next dopamine hit. I have taken up reading as of late and really reallt enjoy it as a winding down activity before bed. Im actively seeking ways to improve my life a little each day. I wish i had done this five years ago.
That is so awesome! Changing the password is a great way to disconnect, especially if you have urges to scroll. You did it now and that is all that matters! There is so much life to experience. I'm happy you found something to bring you joy such as reading, I enjoy it as well. Thank you for sharing ✨.
I’m also taking a break from social media. And yeees this year I went to a family trip and noticed that I barely touched my phone. So, yeah living in the moment is so important omg. Enjoying the present. Plus I’m 22 so I know how concerning it’s that my generation lives in the internet rather than using it as a luxury/treat… and I was getting SO delusional living in my head looking at what others were up to. Now, when it comes to social media apps (at least the most time consuming ones like tiktok, Twitter and Instagram etc.) I deleted all of them 4 days ago and I quickly forget about using them and then I realize I have free will and just finish my tasks or do something else. I can focus even more and I have plenty of time to think of what I want and what I enjoy. I’m planning on getting them back again, but when I’m sure I’ll have a way healthier mindset. Thank you for this video! I loved it.
(As you can see I still have RUclips only)
It is really easy to get caught up in socials, I am happy to hear at a young age you are making the effort to be present. When off of social media, I realized that i'm not missing anything . RUclips is a bit different, it can be very useful and helpful.
Thank you for sharing & for being here ✨.
Makes so much sense. Superb 💯
Thank you for sharing ✨
I RELATE TO THIS. DAY 1 OFF SOCIAL MEDIA. WISH ME LUCK.
You got this girl ✨ Keep me updated!
Love it ❤
Thank you . I appreciate it. 💕
Italy?.. I'm from the EU and Italy is one of the more racist countries, so it's refreshing to see a sister being ok in Italy
I didn't have any experiences with racism while in Italy, I have heard that some people there are racist.
@@chillinwithcharity I'm really happy for you. My younger sister was judged harshly before she even reached the age of 1. You look beautiful, as well. Goodluck on your endeavors. I permanently erased all my SM accounts a few weeks ago, and I'm already reaping the benefits.
@@Yggdrasil30 I am sorry that your sister had to experience that. Thank you for the compliment.
I am happy you are benefiting from not having social media, more people should delete it.
@@chillinwithcharity Do you any advice for someone who wants to go work there for like a year or two?
@@sweetpoptart9486 in Italy or Thailand ? It depends on what you want to do in those country. I taught abroad and found positions from Facebook group and word of mouth. For Thailand I purchased a return ticket to get a visa, then when I got there the school helped me to get the proper paperwork to extend my stay.
I deleted Facebook Snapchat and I logged out of Instagram
Congratulations! Wish you the best along your journey .
Very beautiful inside and out.
Thank you
4 year gang letsgo here right withbya

Dropped social media sometime last year. Haven’t been missed but have enjoyed real life since. Still watch RUclips tho
Lol I’m the same way. I love RUclips .
Deleted my FB account 7 years ago.I have no other accounts unless you consider reddit and YT to be social media. I consider reddit to be special interest groups and educational. Some people tell me YT is also social media but I tend to disagree. In the case of YT, I think it depends upon how you use it. As far as all those other platforms, I doubt anyone my age bothers with them at all. I know I don't!
I do have facebook for family. I'm not familiar with Reddit. I agree with you in regard to RUclips it depends on how you use it, it has a lot of useful information and resources.
'Promo SM'
I really want to do this . But I have a business 😭 maybe you’ll go over that
You can do it, use it for your business by scheduling your content to automatically post. That also frees up time for engagement. Limiting time on the app can also be helpful or deleting from your phone. You can still access social media on a desktop, it will no longer be at your finger tops. I hope this helps.
I thought the same thing, but I decided to focus on email marketing and building outside of social media. Until or if, I choose to tap back in to schedule content for the business on Instagram and Facebook like she mentioned.
@@BackToMama1 Love this! So helpful, thanks.
@@chillinwithcharity you’re welcome! I feel like we’ve been so programmed to think that if a business isn’t on social media 24/7 and at all, that it won’t succeed in this society. Which then leads to people like you and I prioritizing social media over other things that would normally be at the top of our list, which causes so much unnecessary stress and frustration.
I’ve been off social media for a few days now, and I don’t feel guilty (how I thought I would) about my business because my inner peace and wellness IS MY FIRST BUSINESS!
Sis, I’m a firm believer that once we take care of ourselves , our needs, everything else will flourish (including our business). So, if you feel lead to take a break off social media or completely remove yourself from it (either temporarily or permanently) , do so!
Spirit will NEVER lead you wrong, and you can’t pour from an “empty cup” anyway ✨
Much love to you 💜
@@BackToMama1 Everything that you said! Perfection ✨
Hi charity, am i allowed to make a reaction video based von this video, since i also deleted social media.
Hi, I don’t mind long as it is positive.
I’d love to check it out.
@@chillinwithcharity yeah def positive !!
@@Applecitylightkiwi let me know when you make it! Best wishes ✨
So what do you do on your phone
Lol, that is a great question. I use it for texting, recording videos of my garden, looking up random information.
I am back on social media, however I use it differently . I share pics of my garden and my friends and I send funny and informational content.
@@MiszBeauty14 I have it to share garden content & a business idea I am working on. Otherwise girl, it's a waste of time.
Going on 4 years myself and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made!! I’m sooo weirded out by the idea of over sharing everything now…and when people take pics of their food every time I go to eat with them I’m like 🥲 (few left bc I lost a lot of “friends” when they couldn’t get anything from me anyway)
