Well guys I did it 😀 I survived my 1 month of no social media! So what did I learn from logging out of Facebook / Snapchat / Instagram (i allowed myself Pinterest and Youtube to survive!) Here is my top 5 things I learned from cutting out social media .. even if it was just for 1 month: 1. Life goes on without it .. it really does. I pressed 'log out' on the 31st April and never looked back (well at least for a month anyway). 2. Friends will text you and stay in contact when they want to. I thought I would be excluded from the gossip, meeting up for catch ups etc but my closest friends still messaged me and sent me pictures of the important times in their lives that they wanted me to know about. Which leads me on to number 3 ... 3. It made me realise how much 'crap' I actually fill my mind with that is totally unnecessary. I would sit for way too long swiping through pictures of people I don't even know having 'amazing' times in their lives which would make me feel down or depressed if I was at work or doing something less amazing. It made me realise I was spending more time watching people living their lives than actually living my own! So the first thing I did when I went back on social media ... unfollows and deletes. I went from following 400+ people down to 100. 4. One of the negatives of not being on social media meant I spent more time watching you tube videos of anything to surpass my social media addiction which lead to me watching make up tutorials. This helped me perfect better makeup looks but also made me want to go shopping!! The inner shopping addict in me came out 👎 however the savvy shopper in me remembered I had a few gift cards in the back of my purse so I put them to good use :)Then finally number 5 .... 5. When your not spending time on social media your actually IN THE MOMENT. With family/friends. I wasn't that girl anymore putting Instagram stories on every 5 seconds and not actually taking in what was going on around me however I did miss taking pictures and sharing my day to day activities with people. I found my passion for taking photos and video's of places to show people what is out there in the world and cool places to visit and see. So after 1 month of no social media what happened then ... I logged back in, deleted and unfollowed people/groups I had no interest in and started to post again. If you enjoyed reading my post please comment below and / or click follow to see more.
