                     SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX

                     Spending  too  much time on social  media  can affect your
                     studies, health and confidence. To overcome this, many young
                     people are now trying a social media detox. This means taking

                     a planned break from apps and online platforms to refresh
                     both the mind and body.
                     Follow these steps to take a break from social media:

                                     Choose a specific day and time to stay away from social
                                     media. It could be one evening after school or a few hours
                                     on the weekend.

                                     Disable notifications or keep the phone in another room to
                                     reduce the temptation to check it constantly. This helps in
                                     staying focused on other tasks.

                                     During detox,  try  replacing  social  media  time  with  other
                                     activities,  like  reading,  exercising  or spending  time  with
                                     family and friends.

                     After the detox you will feel
                     more  relaxed and will be
                     able to focus better.

                                                                                                your phone first thing
                                                                                                   in the morning.

                                                                                    Mastering Social Media the Smart Way  71
