Quitting Social Media and Starting Meditation

Let's recap:
I have started to measure through an app the productive time. I am not giving up on social but when I am focusing or working or working out I mustn't have any social media notification etc.
I must say that I am about on 3-4 hours really productive + 1 hour of workout a day.

Of course now I need to focus on quantity (quality can be improved but I think for the moment is ok).
Let's keep working
Ciao!

 

Well... We need always improving. I want to add one strenght workout every morning. Starting from tommorow (today I have done it). Let's see if I can keep it up. Of course still measuring my productive hours.... also in that I need to improve .... Love the process ... not the results!

 

Hello fellows,
Tonight I was thinking some steps ahead have been made ... but not something that really make the difference.
The productive time is ok ...but still not good. We have to become badass and not remain pussy.
The point for me is becoming more focus during concentration time. I am now anyway struggling. I want to cut the music during focus time and allow it only pause time and workout and let's see if I can improve the perfomance.

 

It's been more than a year since I quit all social media.
One thing that happened is that I started feeling less lonely and had less anxiety.
I always had this terrible feeling looking at people living their "great" lives and I always found myself attempting to portray my life and myself what it wasn't. Craving for likes, craving for attention. I realised how pointless they were.

 

I know some people who did this, and now they are happy people. Social media take a lot of time away from our lives, and we don't even can imagine how many hours!
Instead of being there reading your screen, looking at funny cat memes or anything else, you can use this time to develop yourself.
You can work more, develop something and start a new life!

 

The problem is that is difficult, not impossible, to live without social. I am using them for events, to stay in touch with "friends", to meet new people and even for work.
I have decided to limit the time but keeping them. It s kind to accept anyway a drug but with limits

 

Wow 2 pages! I guess you pass a lot of time on the internet everyday

 

Yeah me too. It might even be good to do it earlier in the day, there's the tendency to slip into just a bit more time at night. Or maybe you could say okay, if there's nothing interesting no need to take up the whole half hour, even cut out early, base it on how much you can read a whole post. If it takes 25 minutes then that's it.

Of course if that's not an issue for you there could be a benefit in reading this forum as the last act of the day, assuming you're going to bed right after. You're reminded about not to act on PMO.

 

I had to delete facebook and whatsapp due to always looking at someone's else success and comparing myself to them. It was a problem that kept putting me in the dumps and leading me to relapse. But now that I have no social media apps whatsoever (except for Ifunny due to memes) I have been able to concentrate on my own life goals and dreams without comparison. So yeah I've been there and you know what? I don't miss it Thank God.

STAY STRONG AND EAT YOUR VEGGIES!

 

I th

Nice bro, I think the biggest problem is SMARTPHONE. as long as you stay with smartphone. It'll be hard to quit from any distractions ...

 

I have been quitting social media for 3 months by using my dumb phone

 

If you can just delete them, now you have even less motivation and incentives to go since you have to create a new account. I deleted Insta amd Facebook both because of the damage it caused and also because of their horrible privacy issues.

 

Being consistent is the key. My motivation is lower during the weekends cause I am thinking what the hell is day off... the fact is that or we always improve or we always get worse.

Also today ... I want to have some productive hours.

 

Life is shitty and unfair. Of course there are sunny days but the problem is to endure also for the rest. Today I had same bad news and general issues and of course my motivation is really low. These are the days where you relapse you give up to everything and the we had to restart from the beginning. My life is just like that. But I really want to show strength.
Today I had anyway a workout and I have bought a book on order to get some tips on controlling my emotions. If I quit now all the efforts have been useless. You know everyone is suppose to die once ...I think about it...I am not sure how I will end up. But I am thinking all the times to keep at least my honor and have an always keep fighting to the end attitude.
That is the way I suppose to go.
