INSTAGRAM DETOX FOR A MONTH ♡ Experience, lessons & new changes

[@shoti_galdava]

You know.. I think I like you )) Your British accent and how you can express all this things. Positive energy comes from you ^^ P.s I also quit Insta for two month already. And it's quite good to check yourself, or just get some extra time. But when I'll get back, I will find you )) Damn, I miss my friends there 😟😁

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thank you for your kind words!! Hope your detox is going well - I'm sure they miss you too!

[@praveennambiarashmira]

Cool..I wonder if it is possible to completely avoid social media for a long time for the new gen??

[@digitalnomadgirl]

I did hear the other day from someone who only has a flip phone! That's probably a pretty good way! I personally think social media does a lot of good though so I don't want to totally opt out - just get my addiction under control!!

[@praveennambiarashmira]

I think the younger generation cannot stay away from it... Moreover for a digital nomad like yourself, phone and social media helps you to create a livelihood.. great to watch your videos. I always make a point like and comment your videos. Also asked friends check you out and subscribe. Happy to see you growing. God bless you

I check ig a few times a day, but I only follow 14 people (including you of course), so it takes very little time. And I personally have only posted one photo since being on ig. People just get jealous of my life whenever I post anywhere, so it's not something I need or care about dealing with. I mostly use fb to keep in contact with all my friends and family cuz they are all on fb and I no longer have a U.S. phone number. It's much more useful to me for messaging, video chats, letting people know where I am and what I'm doing, etc. As far as turning off the phone, that's not an option, because I use my phone to trade when I'm not on my laptop. Now yt is a completely different story and I spend several hours on yt a day. It's almost always on in the background while I work or play games. But I use that for learning new skills, researching places I want to go, getting information about games I play, and just overall entertainment, since I don't watch any TV. I guess as an "old" person, idgaf about social media. If ig and fb shut down tomorrow I couldn't care less. I lived a long time without it and can live without it again. My real life is awesome, so what other people are doing just isn't that big of a deal. And so many people create a fake images of their life on ig for status or popularity. Haha! Cheers!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Wow I'm so honoured to be in your 14 people!! And yes I totally agree that YT seems to offer way more value than IG etc - you can learn so much and it's crazy it's all just out there for free. Love it!!

Cuuuute top!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks! Yay for always wearing red. Haha!

[@DanicaChristin]

I'm shocked to see how long this video sat in my watch later list 😳😳😳

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Hope you enjoyed it!! I don't mind waiting ;)

[@hakankaya]

I would like to try social media detox, You motivated me, I hope I can do

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yay that's so fantastic! I'd love to hear how it goes 🥰

Late to this party but found this really interesting Louise! This weekend I have deleted IG, Twitter and FB off my phone and defo relating to picking it up and it being redundant! Have you heard of Venetia Falconer? She is currently championing a 48h digital detox at the weekend - wonder if that would work for you? I'd love to turn mine off at 7pm like you however I meditate before bed and also am basically in a long distance relationship so would mean saying goodnight at 7, which I think is a little early!! No notifications and the screen time limit are a game changer - although I cheat very often!! Anyway, just wanted to share that I enjoyed it and you're not alone wanting to try and limit screentime/time on social! x

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks so so much Kim! Absolutely loved this message :D I think there needn't be any pressure or judgement (on yourself or others!!) about screen time - just whatever works for you :) To be honest I go through major phases. Right now we are travelling so I am constantly on my phone taking pics, uploading instagram stories, navigating on maps etc. But when we are in one place I try to regain some control over the addiction!! Will definitely check out Venetia - she sounds great! Thanks

I was so inspired by you doing this: and amazing you did! I try to just spend half an hour on social a day, excluding my other work. Muting stories helps tons and I think deciding on a platform to focus on really helps so for me that would be Twitter and Instagram: Facebook and the rest don't interest me! Always having notifications off helps so much as well! I think having a brand for so many years helped me see social media as a job haha. xoxo

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Wow that's amazingly short! I am seriously inspired by that! Really trying to cut back. Yeah turning of notifications helped a lot, I must try muting some stories now 👍 love ya!

[@tunoheavy]

Removing Facebook app from the mobile phone helped me not being so attached to it. Switching off mobile data while working is essential

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yes I've done that too!! It helps so much!

[@jeanbb3283]

Yes! Gold content tackling hot topics as per! Loving Chessie King - thank you for putting me onto her. Plenty of food for thought, I do like the idea of a one hour timer, but so with you on having lots of insta friends and not wanting to lose those connections (especially youuu!)

[@jeanbb3283]

I’m loving my grayscale on my phone. And I must get rid of push notifications and red dots !

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Awww yay so happy that you like Chessie. I'm OBSESSED! She just bring so much joy to my feed :D The timer for me has been really transformational - definitely keeps things under control :)

[@AfterCoffeeWithJess]

I've moved my Instagram app from the first page of my phone as a starter to reducing my use! It's a start! Nice video!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yay that's awesome!! I'm so happy it helped you 🥰🥰🥰
