DELETING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR 30 DAYS CHANGED MY LIFE

I decided to delete social media for 30 days. It changed my life... I'm never going back to my old ways, now that i've seen the other side.

The first thing I noticed after quitting social media, was how much everyone else was using their phones.

Me : *watching this video on my phone*
Me : This is such a good message
Me : *clicks on another Yes Theory video*

Thomas : Am I a joke to u?

"Delete social media off your phone for seven days"
This is when you know that the YouTube channel is real there telling you to stop watching them. Respect

[august]

Well I wish I could also start my day with a quick jog and surfing here in Canada

Social media connects you closer to people far away, and creates distance between you and the people close to you.

I immediately wanted to delete the youtube app, but was like damn no I need to finish watching this video first

In order to regain control in your life, you must rethink your relationship to social media, rediscover the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnect with your inner self through regular periods of solitude.

Try deleting social media for 7 days and replace that time with offline activities that you value. I promise it will change your life. It surely changed mine, and I’m never going back to the way it used to be...

This makes me realize that so many people have unrecognized talent and don’t do anything with their life’s because there to obsessed with their phones.

I have been living without social media from a year now.. A lot changed in my life, i read over 60 books, i changed my lifestyle, I learnt new things, started learning new languages, I got back to drawing, i started to wake up early and sleep early and i found that this actually suits my lifestyle decluttered a lot of unnecessary stuff in my house, came to the concept of minimalism where i started to live with less items. getting rid of social media is the best decision i have made in my life

To think I am using Social Media to watch this video.

[ChillingMysteriesTV]

Leaving social media and having no friends is a whole new level

[palaks]

Me: not understanding what the big deal was
*opens screen time*
*11 hours 17 mins*
Me: shook and contemplating life choices

6. Collaborations with other YouTubers (depending on what channel they have)

- Travel: Race Time! Whoever arrives to a chose destination ANYWHERE on the planet wins ;)
7. Trying to make someone (a subscriber maybe?) famous
8. Get hired as an extra for a movie/show & fuck things up 😜 not in a bad way obviously
9. TED talk?
10. Live Tinder? Similar to Jubilee’s version or as seen on the late late show
11. Behave like you are a celebrity and look what happens
12. Try to become local legends lol. (as in, do something around your neighborhood/city that people will remember for a long time and will tell tales about)
13. Fly to one subscriber who will turn 18/21 and host their birthdayparty (fyi I’ll be turning 18 in August 😌)
14. Run for President 2020 ;)

Just deleted Instagram and Facebook. They didn't spark joy anymore.

[randyelliott]

I did it for a year and three months and you really learn to appreciate the world in a different way. It’s amazing

after only 14 days, he seems so much calmer...

This changed my life. I've been off of social media for 3 months now, I deleted my Snapchat, Instagram, and youtube. In this time my attention span has improved, I find it easier to talk to people, and I'm less stressed all the time. I used to not be able to read books or even focus on a single task at a time. I'd scroll through Instagram while watching Netflix at the same time, now I find my self reading for hours and staying more focused on tasks when I do them. I believe this is because I'm no longer being bombarded with notifications and checking my phone hundreds of times a day. I also find my self more engaged in conversations with people now that I don't open Instagram and start scrolling every time a conversation gets awkward, I was using my cell phone as a digital pacifier and it was unhealthy. The most important change is that I feel much happier now that I'm not wasting hours of my day and what will amount to years of my life maintaining useless social connections or browsing useless content. Thank you Yes Theory for changing my life and I strongly urge anyone who feels stuck or needs a change in life to try this out. It will change your life.

THIS. IS. BRILLIANT.
Been spreading this message around friends for years. Thank you for making it big.
This is the good life.

One of the most amazing things about social media is connecting to others around the world, but it also brings our social skills down sometimes if we replace interacting through a screen rather than real life with people around us.

Does anyone else feel guilty for watching this video?
