Quitting social media is literally a cheat code.

I used to doom scroll in Facebook. Every time I did I feel worse and sh*t. Not because of the brain rot but because I can see my friends living their best life.

I'd see them going out to the beach and traveling. But knowing I couldn't made me feel worse.

Plus we are humans and humans like to compare whether consciously or unconsciously. It will happen even if you are mindful of it. It's the way our minds are wired. That's why you feel bad every time you see someone younger than you live a better life.

It's designed to make you feel insecure or worse. Because if that happens you will be more likely to scroll again to numb your pain and internal suffering.

After taking as step back I've improved my mental health:

• I no longer accidentally see violent content, like fighting or catastrophic events.
• I don't have to look at media and make me feel depressed how the world is going to end by global warming or economic depressions.
• I don't have to deal with unnecessary hate from people who got nothing better but just comment angrily in controversial topics.

Life is better without the constant over consumption. I've been on detox for over 2 years and life has been so much better.'

I only consume podcasts and educational content.

And if you found this post valuable perhaps I can tempt you with my weekly self-improvement letter. I write weekly actionable advice about how you can stay consistent on building habits and build discipline.
