Today, Makarand shares his seven surefire ways of detoxing social media anxiety to start enjoying your life again. [00:34] Interacting with people, friends, and family used to be something done personally, but it has become a thing in the past. People now take comfort in likes, comments, shares, and emojis through various social media platforms. It is now about how many likes you or your friend have, what to post, etc. [04:26] Here are the seven ways to detox your social media anxiety: 1. To accomplish your daily task, be productive and efficient. Make sure you create undivided attention for yourself. Turn off notifications, don’t open emails, or even log out of your accounts completely. 2. Resist the urge of checking updates on your social media platforms. Operate only during specified intervals like going to the bathroom, break time, etc. 3. Set up an alarm clock and allocate the time you can spend on social media. 4. Distract your attention deliberately by taking a walk, exercising, listening to music, etc. 5. Think twice before posting on social media. 6. Do not get involve with virtual littering like bullying and avoid heated arguments, it’s a complete waste of your precious time. 7. Know when to respond offline versus online. Offline is still a meaningful way to converse and interact with your friends.
