I needed a mental break from being on social media

I noticed my anxiety was through the roof. Between covid stories and crime news, I needed to log off. I noticed myself being negatively distracted by social media. I would scroll through my timeline then completely forget what I was going to do physically in the present time. I would be reading gossip and news and feel awful afterward. I noticed I was more irritable and not focused. I decided to make my page private and log off.

Now it was not difficult to log off of social media because I have done it before. When I log off, I have a concrete routine to follow. After logging off I started doing my job better not that I wasn’t, it’s just that I got my job done quicker. I started working out at 10 am each day. I was reading and watching more movies. I decided to take a break from social media because I felt like I was connected to everyone else's life but missing out on mine.
