Sameee. It was bad for my mental health find yourself comparing and just in a funk and just lacking in productivity just from scrolling . I don’t miss it at all . I only be on YT and I enjoy it
Omg! I overstand this! I’ve burnt food, forgot to do something, almost missed appointments literally because I was scrolling 🤦🏾♀️. I use to be an avid reader, I want to return to it and I also want to learn Spanish fluently. Life is too short and I want to spend my time being productive and present, especially with my family.
I am so glad to see more and more people speak out about removing themselves from IG and TT. I've been off for the last 3 weeks really just taking time to self reflect and I have been feeling so rejuvenated! TH-cam is my happy place lol. Also, as a wife and mom of 3 sons I had to realize I can't be everywhere! The pressure we place on ourselves to be everywhere was weighing me down to the point I was completely drained. I am NOT single with no kids and have time to film to be on all 3 platforms. But...that's OK! Eliminate the doom scrolling, find balance, figure out where you can and can't be is the only way I want to move from here on out. You'll begin to see how amazing your life already is!
I've never had any type of social media other than here. You and anyone else can do it! 👏🏼 Just take one day at a time. You will enjoy Guitar and sign language lessons. I need to do a refresher course on both since it's been awhile.
Love this video. Good on you for choosing to create more than you consume. I left IG off and on multiple times then left for real in 2021... and then thought posting would be fun in 2022. Then left again a couple months later. Nobody was actually interacting with me besides ppl I already talk to. Ppl I grew up with would like but nobody ever DM'd me or commented on anything. I was also off and on of TT bc I can't have it without doomscrolling. But I got rid of it for good. Recently got on Twitter for cat videos and news. Can't have it without doomscrolling so it's also out. I use it once a week or so on my computer and once I got it off my phone, I really forgot it existed for a while. So happy to see so many ppl doing the same. We all have too many other priorities and projects we should and could be working on instead. It feels great to work on me and see growth, even if it's just a little every day. Much love
you have to drop the smart phone and stay away from tablets all together. Its the only way. Get a Flip phone / Home phone and direct Internet to a PC only.
I’ve been inactive on ig for almost a year. A friend sent me a reel and after watching it I scrolled thru my feed for like 2 mins. It was one of the most chaotic and overstimulating experiences I’ve ever endured! Most of what I saw were ads or content from strangers and hardly anything from ppl I actually know/follow. I logged out and don’t plan on returning. Love that your family is learning to sign! And which phone did you record on bc the quality is 👌🏾 Tfs ❤️
That’s so good and you know what IG isn’t as difficult for me as TikTok is! It just pulls me in so effortlessly! Yea we really are enjoying signing and I’m not sure the phone its one of the newer iPhones tho.
I recently realized that I used to have fun and do things but now it seems as though I’m only living life through scrolling and I hate it. I’m planning to put my phone down more too and get back to living.
I’ve deactivated my ig & I am considering deleting it for good, but I am not sure yet because of the connections I have on there with people from elementary, high school & college. Idk, but I definitely will continue to fast from ig often.
Instagram is the worst, quitting instagram was the best decision for me
Sameee. It was bad for my mental health find yourself comparing and just in a funk and just lacking in productivity just from scrolling . I don’t miss it at all . I only be on YT and I enjoy it
Yes!!!! Agreed! Good on you guys for recognizing the issue!
Tik Tok was mine. I’ve been off for 6 years. I’ve been on fb a year and Instagram for maybe 12 days.
Omg! I overstand this! I’ve burnt food, forgot to do something, almost missed appointments literally because I was scrolling 🤦🏾♀️. I use to be an avid reader, I want to return to it and I also want to learn Spanish fluently. Life is too short and I want to spend my time being productive and present, especially with my family.
You took the words right out of my mouth with this one!!! So we’re on the same page clearly!
@ indeed we are lol 😂
Same sis. I got to do better next year and focus on me and my life!!
Yes! Start now with meeee!! Xoxoxo
I have neither! And no desire. Just YT for entertainment ❤
You go! Giiiirl I can spend so long on those apps lol consider yourself lucky!
I totally get what you are saying girl ! I believe there should be a mental health day where social media is cut off
Congrats!! Quitting social media is a blessing. It has blessed every single part of my life!!
Woot woot!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m feeling super accomplished already! Only on day 2!
Yes. I want to focus more on me and explore what my creativity will translate in this world
Oooooohhhhh yes!!! This is so good! Great way of wording it!
I gave up social media last year, and it’s been peaceful
That is so good!!! Just up and quit!
I believe learning sign language and Spanish is a necessary tool in life. Great job❤
Yea we are truly enjoying it! I can’t wait til I’m actually really good

I’ve literally been thinking about doing this for a while and this feels like confirmation.
I'm right there with you, love.❤❤❤
It’s a new day! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
TikTok is useful for me as in tutorials and idea sharing but Instagram is just about trends and absolutely useless
I couldn’t agree more with this!! I’ve learned so much from tiktok but I’ve abused the app lol
Love this. Yes to Stepford wife 🤣 I enjoy following you, J, and look forward to seeing you on the guitar!
I felt this! I stopped scrolling recently too and I feel so much better and I’m getting a lot more done in a better time frame!
See exactly! This is my exact reasoning to the T!
I’ll be joining you as well, I’ve been point the finger at other things besides my lack of time management with these apps.
Yes girl! Let’s go! I’m feeling so good!
I have missed you so much on TH-cam.
Omg and this just brightened my day!!! Thank you!
I can feel this so much. Definitely making changes here as well missed you so much!
Change is so necessary for growth!!! Xoxo
Oof, great topic. I definitely need to reduce my time on the socials as well
Yes gf it’s such a good feeling!
you have to drop the smart phone and stay away from tablets all together. Its the only way. Get a Flip phone / Home phone and direct Internet to a PC only.
DANG! Lol this is a hard core strategy! The thing is. I still enjoy making content I still want to upload

I’ve deactivated my ig & I am considering deleting it for good, but I am not sure yet because of the connections I have on there with people from elementary, high school & college. Idk, but I definitely will continue to fast from ig often.
I want to quit too, I just want to keep my kids school accounts they post frequently and I don’t want to miss that 😢
So I’m keeping it to gf! I’m just looking at specific things and posting. That’s it. No scrolling! In and out.
You look so gorgeous 😌

I feel you I’ve been contemplating deleting IG as well.
It’s worth it I think. IG is easier for me to neglect than TikTok whew
I needed this. It was for you, but motivation for me lol. Thank you , and we missed you for sure 🫶🏽
Omg thank you so much for that! I’m right there with you!
