Social media detox

With both of my pregnancies I steered clear of social media in regards to posting anything about being pregnant. I felt strongly that I only wanted people to know who I made an effort with and people who made an effort with me. I didn’t want a bunch of nosey Parker’s asking questions 😂 We announced our daughter’s birth about 2 weeks after she was born and will likely do the same with our second so we’re not thinking about who we’ve not responded to etc. in those early days. I just wanted to enjoy the newborn bubble 😂
I’ve been off social media for around 2 years. I didn’t notice a drastic difference, but I did notice reduced anxiety + it helped not seeing everyone’s performed ‘perfect’ online lives. I wouldn’t go back on it now as I just don’t feel the need, I keep in touch with everyone I care about and that does the trick for me. It definitely helps keep the pressure of being perfect off as you only really see the in flesh real lives around you, not just in a baby sense but in a normal sense too
I kinda got to a point where all my TikTok was “what’s in my hospital bag” and I realised WTF am I watching these for. Yes it’s good to get ideas but on the daily?? I don’t think so. You can end up attaching to strangers experiences in their life and forget to get involved and just live your own life… just my personal opinion of course.
Yaaas! Hahaha this is my practice even without babies hahaha lately I’m like no phone… so I literally did an organization on when to use it and how hahaha 🤎✨✨✨✨
I done this a few weeks ago, deleted a lot of my social media things like tiktok I felt were just full of negativity and it was affecting my mental health. Since I’ve deleted them I feel so refreshed as I’m not getting all this negativity thrown at me constantly. So I know exactly where you’re coming from. I love being in my own little bubble now x
