I just deleted TikTok. Permanently. And I don't know why I am freaking out? I guess it's the addiction. I was actually addicted to scrolling on that app... What a waste of time. Now the healing begins. <3

Do you feel like you need a fresh start? Wish you could wipe the slate of your life or your work schedule or your manuscript clean, and begin again? . We can’t always do that, and sometimes we shouldn’t. The impulse to burn everything down and walk away can be destructive and hurtful, too, and lead us to make choices we later regret. But we can always take stock of our lives and ask ourselves if what we’re doing is really producing good fruit for our souls, our work and our relationships, or whether we’re locked into old habits that are no longer healthy or good for us. Sometimes the restlessness we feel with our current situation is a call to reconsider our choices, rearrange our priorities, or repent and change our ways. . I’ve spent the last couple of months feeling frazzled and frustrated about never seeming to have the time or energy to do the things I love and consider most important, or be able to enjoy those things fully even when I do. So a few days ago, after a good chat with @rllafevers (thanks, Robin) and listening to a few podcasts about writers’ burnout, I came to the decision that I’m going to take the month of June off from all my social media except IG (which is my happy place right now), and take the time I used to spend on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook to do things that will feed my creative energy and inspiration and help me focus, rather than drain my emotions and scatter my thoughts. . For me, that means reading good books, baking, catching up on household chores, and spending more time in nature. I stopped checking my feeds and got a head start on that earlier this week, and I already feel calmer, happier, and generally better about life. I’m hoping it will soon make a positive difference in my writing, too. . Is there a change you can make in your life to feed your spirit instead of depleting it? Are you ready to make a fresh start in June with new and better habits, even in a small way? I’m cheering you on! . . #habits #goodhabits #socialmediacleanse #socialmediabreak #freshstart #june2020 #motivational #inspirationalwords #womenofjoy #womenoffaith #womanofsubstance #womanofpurpose #writinglife #creativitymatters #creativehappylife https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3IQtugnIY/?igshid=1wsncb9s5nlfb

So it's only been a little over a week since I deactivated my twitter,Instagram, and Snapchat. It's crazy how much I used to check my phone to see what everyone is doing, even though I honestly did not care at all. Not having them anymore makes me feel a little out of touch with the world. I'm trying to last 30 days without them, like a 30 day cleanse from social media. Hopefully I can succeed.

I Quit Social Media for 30 Days - Here’s What Happened to My Brain, My Anxiety, and My Life

I didn’t think I was addicted. Sure, I scrolled Twitter during breakfast, checked Instagram before bed, and doom-scrolled Tumblr anytime I felt bored.

But it wasn’t a problem… until I realized I hadn’t gone a full day without social media in over six years.

So, in June 2025, I challenged myself to go completely off-grid: no Instagram, no Twitter, no Gettr, no Tumblr, no TikTok for 30 days.

Here’s what happened — the good, the bad, and the surprisingly beautiful.

Week 1: Withdrawal Hits Hard

Within the first 48 hours:

I instinctively grabbed my phone every 5 minutes

I felt FOMO watching friends post their travels and brunch photos

My brain felt… empty

It was uncomfortable. Like missing a limb.

But by Day 4, something shifted. I started noticing things I hadn’t in ages — how my morning coffee actually tasted, the way birds sounded outside my window.

Week 2: Rediscovering Boredom (And Loving It)

Without constant dopamine hits, I had to confront boredom head-on.

Instead of scrolling, I:

Took evening walks

Actually finished a novel

Wrote in a journal

Started sketching again

I remembered what unfiltered, unshared life felt like.

Week 3: Mental Clarity and Sleep Like I Haven’t Had in Years

My anxiety dropped noticeably. I wasn’t comparing my life to strangers’ highlight reels. I wasn’t doom-scrolling war headlines before bed.

For the first time in years, I:

Fell asleep without phone anxiety

Woke up less irritable

Felt focused in conversations

It was like rebooting my brain.

Week 4: Rebuilding a Healthier Digital Relationship

By the final week, I didn’t miss social media. I missed people — real, in-person connections.

I reached out to friends to meet for coffee. I called my grandma. I wrote actual letters.

It felt personal. Intimate. Human.

Final Thought

I’m not quitting social media forever, but I am using it differently.

Now, I:

Log in with intention, not boredom

Mute or unfollow accounts that trigger anxiety

Take weekends offline

Leave my phone in another room before bed

Life without the constant feed was quieter, slower, and shockingly better. If you’ve been thinking about unplugging, this is your sign.

Social Media Cleanse

For a 24 hour period I tracked my social media usage.... and I observed a lot of alarming routines that I didn't even know I had.

I observed that I spent 5 hours and 23 minutes on my phone in one day. ONE DAY. And 9 of those hours in the 24 hours were spent sleeping lol! I spent 47 minutes on Tiktok, 36 minutes on text messages, 23 minutes on Snapchat, 12 minutes on Instagram and the rest was random. Looking at those numbers are alarming, but at the same time, I know I have done way worse in the past. I questioned why I had spent 36 minutes on messages to then see in my data tracking that had 132 posts and texts for that time period. No wonder why I get so distracted!

To be honest, I knew I had a unhealthy relationship with social media and the usage of my cellphone. However, I just kind of accepted that I did that because so many other people do as well. I enjoy keeping up with friends and family and seeing cool things that everyone does. I also enjoy posting things myself and seeing what people have to say about it. These things are so common that we don't even realize the damage it is doing to our human interactions. Therefore, I wanted to see what it would be like to change that and have better connections with my friends and family, besides just texting them. So for a 24 period of time, I made plans to hang out in-person with friends and to only Facetime friends and family that I aren't close-by.

Over this period of time, I was able to hangout with 2 friends in-person (without going on my phone) and Facetimed 2 family members and 4 friends. This day was probably the most fulfilling and joyful days I've had in awhile. Being able to talk to so many people that I love to talk to and catch up with- I was finally able to do. Instead of just commenting on their latest post or text, I had a meaningful conversation. It wasn't honestly that difficult to stay off my phone when I was with these people and talking to them. I was really living in the moment and enjoying the interactions that I don't normally make priority of doing so. I also noticed that after I got done talking or hanging out I didn't really care to go on social media because I felt so fulfilled with my conversations with everyone that I didn't have the need or want to see what "everyone" else was doing.

Taking this social media "cleanse" was probably different than most cleanses, but it was a cleanse that I saw necessary for what I needed in that 24 hour period. I hope to do this again in the future- will hopefully try and aim for it once a week!

Doing the Artist's Way and am starting week 4, also known as Reading Deprivation Week at midnight. That means no taking in other people's content for a week. So no social media, no reading, no TV/movies, and no video games. I CAN listen to music, so please share those Spotify playlists. I'll be off social media for a week which seems like an eternity, but I know I can make it. Deleting it from my phone should help. But please let know if anything crazy is going on. I know how nuts the past week has been. It might be nice to step away for a bit and concentrate on making my own content. 📸 @marianthe #artistsway #socialmediacleanse https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYOdKSAGsg/?igshid=1kaak10p6lb1g
