US media: Want to leave social media for the time being?Try these points

American VICE website July 25 article, original title: How to not use social media to use social media for the time being, but when Tiktok becomes 1 hour of carnival, Instagram's story becomes a psychological measure for psychological measures, and what psychological measurement is divided into board. It's time to rest. For many people, we can still get a lot of things from applications that dominate our screen time. Therefore, it is not a good choice without social media, and people do not have that willingness. But when the mobile phone occupies too much time, brain power, and energy, it will lose money. Specializing in social media is different for everyone. Some people may want to stop all social media at some time, and some people may only want to limit some social media functions. The important thing is that we should obtain beneficial things from social media and abandon unhelpful things. In other words, find out what you like. In this regard, try the following suggestions:

Find out what is bothering you: Do you feel depressed because of seeing too many other people's lives? Does your likes satisfy your vanity? Do you go bankrupt because of online shopping? There are many reasons to say goodbye to social media. The important thing is to figure out what the reason is, so as to make the right decision.

Data Map

Choose specific social media functions and activities: Once you know what the problem is, you can choose social media applications or functions you want to suspend. For example, you may decide to continue using Tiktok, but only watch the video sent by your friends. Or, you still want to browse the dynamic information of Instagram, but do not publish your own content. These changes have not completely stopped social media, but it can indeed reduce the frequency of use.

Set a minimum limit: determine a minimum value for the time to suspend the use of social media. If you know how many days are left, you will not be able to spend the year. But do not pierce the social media after the suspension period ends and enjoy the feeling of carnival.

Don't post, go out: Most of the content on social media can also be completed without social media. Instead of publishing "memories" on Facebook, it is better to call someone who has a common memory for you; instead of posting a close -up food photo on the Instagram story, it is better to send it to your mother and let her know that you have lived. very good.

Directly delete applications: It is difficult to fight for obsessive -compulsive disorder using social media. To solve this problem, you can directly delete the useless application.

Go to vacation or find something else to do: This is a bit of violation of intuition, because no time is more suitable for posting than vacation. But when you do other things, you will find that in addition to staring at the screen of the mobile phone, there are many things to do. When you can't help but want to pick up your mobile phone, do other things, such as reading a book, stretching lazy, and solving a Rubik's cube.

Remember that no one pays attention to you: everyone is the protagonist of their own life, but in the eyes of other people in social media, you may be just a supporting role.

But remembering the distance will make people feel good: Some people must really like to see you in social media. When you come back for a while, they may be happier, I hope you will be happier. (Author Romano Santos, translated by Chen Junan)
