Last year I finally stopped doomscrolling and my life expanded tenfold. It’s tech’s business to keep you on the apps, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to make the algo work FOR us. 😏
Now I spend more time creating instead of consuming, and my time on social leaves me feeling inspired instead of drained. 🤸🏽♀️

Let's loosen the chokehold social media has on you. This is part of my series on how to make your life a little more enjoyable. Do a ruthless unfollowing spree. That means unfollow people from high school you never to, people you tend to judge, people that either make you feel like you don't have enough or just aren't enough. Next is muting everyone's Instagram stories. Yes. Even your friends. I realized that I was, like, tapping and tapping and tapping, and I actually didn't care what my friends ate for lunch. And now I only have about 10 accounts unmuted, which means I really only see, like, four stories at a time. If you're anything like me, Apple's social media blockers do not stand a chance against you, and you are best friends with the ignore for fifteen minutes button. I use the app Refocus to lock me out of Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok from 8PM every night until 6PM the next day, which means I unwind, wake up, and have a productive worse without scrolling. This is by no means bulletproof, but these small changes are super easy to make, and they drastically altered the relationship I have with social media. Let me know how this works for you.
