1. Dedicate Time For Face-To-Face Contact
Ideally, social media should compliment the relationships we have in life as opposed to replacing them.
2. Call — Don't Text — A Friend
Research shows that people seem to feel best when their relationship interactions happen face to face or over the phone, as opposed to just through social media.
3. Take A Day Off
Having technology inaccessible makes us all the more present in the moment. So go ahead and log out of all your social media accounts for a day or two.
4. Do something else on your breaks.
Start bringing a book to work and reading on your lunch break instead of scrolling. Limit your time scrolling through your phone as you eat simultaneously.
5. Consider your goals, priorities, and reasons.
Are you trying to learn? Find motivation or inspiration? Find fashion and beauty trends? New recipes? Keep up with friends? Promote a business or brand? Know your reason for being in the social media space. Write down your priorities for your life. It helps to remind you where your focus should really go.
Quite relevant and timely.
