Blog author, I have written several articles in the genre of social journalism.
Let's count. I obzavolsya smartphone, when I was 13, now I 17.5, and still I can confidently say that spending in social networks at least three hours a day. Bottom line: for 4.5 years I wasted 4927 hours! If the average person reads 250 pages at 5 o'clock, then I am for this time could read a thousand books. Severely, is not it?
For the modern teen social networks are an integral part of his life. My peers continue to sit for hours on the Internet: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. If you do not have profiles on social networks, you are an outsider. Jonah. As one of your classmates who in sports games ever elected to the team last. It sounds cruel, but, unfortunately, it's true.
Looking back, I'm angry because of the wasted time and effort. For example, I might have read so many interesting books instead of manic monitor how many likes pick up once my post.
7 changes that occurred to me after the rejection of social networks
1. To me it's an amazing feeling of freedom from the opinions of others
Now I can not help the feeling of forgotten childhood, when the whole world - it is a canvas, and you're a great artist. And it does not matter what think about you the other. Previously, I often took the question to say what I really think, or adjust to the majority opinion. I found a definite answer to it.
2. There was a lot of free time
Previously, I always tried to carve out a little bit of free time, and now I have it in bulk. My phone distracted me, I'm often late, because of what seemed to be that I do not have time for the gym and even more. Now I normally manage your time and have time to everywhere.
3. I no longer worse than others
We often compare their everyday lives with the ideal picture of the lives of others. I remember, like Facebook and scroll envied: "Oh, I do so want to", "He's so lucky." More I do not think so. None on earth such a person, place on someone I would like to be, but myself. I love myself and my exciting future.
4. I was never happy, motivated and am in great shape
When I used the social network, I was depressed, lazy and not very good looking. Now every day I go to the gym: For three months, I lost weight and lost almost a fifth of its weight. Concerning happiness, Creation brings me now twice more joy than before.
5. I figured out who my real friends
It is easy to have many friendsIf you can communicate when you're comfortable. 80% of my friends disappeared after the removal of the social networks. Now they just do not notice me. Nice to know that now I am dealing only with those who really roads. These people inspire me, can learn something new. Funny, but none of the old friends did not get into this category. Consider this: most likely, you are in the same situation.
6. I have learned to enjoy the little things
I do not know if it was because I was "slowed down" and now I can look at things from a different point of view, but I began to appreciate what people do for me. I have the best mom in the world, but in the past I did not appreciate it as much as she deserves. As well as waking up in his bed in a warm house with running water and a roof over his head. Incredible. You appreciate the little things.
7. No longer fall out of reality
While I was sitting in social networks, I was in isolation from the real world. It's not just about the loss of time, but also that I was immersed in browsing Facebook tape when trying to communicate in everyday life. It is important to know the measure of all things. After leaving the social network, I realized that it was the best decision of my life. This is me with my family closer together, made a more disciplined in their studies. Now I'm right I eat, Devoting more time to sports and reading books. Life has played new paints. But once I thought that, if removed from the social networks, you immediately become one of these rogue school that always sitting in her room.
Will you be on your deathbed remembering pictures decorating your profile in Instagram or posts to Facebook, that you have read for days on end? Or do you still remember the happy moments spent with family and friends?
Set aside at last his phone.
