30 Days Without Social Media: The Shocking Impact on My Mental Health

Digital Detox: Unplugging from Social Media

The decision to go 30 days without social media was not an easy one.

For many of us, it’s hard to imagine a day without checking our feeds. But there’s a downside. A lot of young people are feeling more stressed, lonely, and distracted because of too much screen time. It’s a real problem that we can’t ignore.

I had also noticed a decline in my mental well-being. I felt more anxious, less focused, and constantly overwhelmed.

So, I decided to take a break and see what would happen.

And guess what? It made a huge difference in my life.

In this post, I’ll share the top 7 good things that came out of my 30-day break. Maybe it’ll make you think about your own social media habits too.

1. Increased Focus and Productivity

Without the constant distractions of social media, I found myself more focused on tasks. I completed projects faster and with better quality. The hours in my day seemed to stretch longer, and I accomplished more than I had in months.

• Set specific times during the day to check social media, rather than doing it sporadically.
