deleting social media changed my life

4 years off social media - here's my story and my thoughts!

As a fellow self-development creator, this is awesome! YouTube needs more authenticity like this!

[aahil]

i have faced my life mostly alone and i can relate to u abt the inner voice thing
last year my mom turned off wifi for like 2 months and its been the happiest days in my life even tho there was 1 exception, i used wifi at some nights to download good content from youtube( answers to my life problems/curiosity ) during the time(like 15 min) she checks her notification
just around this time i made a habit of reading books, exercising and all the good habits u can imagine
The way i speak the way i looked and everything about me changed because i listened to my true voice

Currently going a month without Instagram and boy do I feel more free to do what I want including free thinking. I have allowed most of my thoughts and opinions be influenced by constantly changing strangers on my feed, made it near impossible to be consistent on anything. Now I feel like my brain got room the stretch and breathe 🤔😤

What a Great experience Stephen, actually every time I feel the need to delete social media, I knew that a spiritual growth experience is waiting for me, so I took my decision since few weeks and deleted them, I had discovered that this was an inner call to understand myself more without distractions, to grow spiritually, to reach mental stability, and to heal, Peace ✌️

at 4:10 that "something within me" reminded me of the book I was reading, Total Freedom by J. Krishnamurti.

"There is intelligence only when there is no fear, when you are willing to rebel, to go against the whole social structure in order to discover the truth of anything.

Intelligence is not knowledge. If you could read all the books in the world it would not give you intelligence. Intelligence is something very subtle; it has no anchorage. It comes into being only when you understand the total process of the mind - not the mind according to some philosopher or teacher, but your own mind. Your mind is the result of all humanity, and when you understand it you don't have to study a single book, because the mind contains the whole knowledge of the past. So intelligence comes into being with the understanding of yourself; and you can understand yourself only in relation to the world of people, things and ideas. Intelligence is not something that you can acquire, like learning; it arises with great revolt, that is, when there is no fear. "

Holy shit. I feel like it’s crazy this video is in front of me right now! Especially considering it’s less that 1k views (congrats on making such excellent content btw!!!)

I’ve heard this inner voice tell me to go travel alone and also been hearing the strong urge to quit Instagram! I’ve been off Facebook and Snapchat for years now and haven’t looked back, but I’ve been holding on to instagram. But I’ve realized a similar thing to your story… you said you were planning out your graduation post to post on social media… i feel like whenever im in a beautiful place I end up thinking about what picture I can take that would be cool to post … then I catch myself and im like “NO NO NO, BE IN THE MOMENT!” … but it’s hard!!!! I don’t want social media in the back of my mind all the time.

Anyways, this was really inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
