11 Signs You Need a Break from Social Media

In Advice and EncouragementRelationships by Debra FiletaAugust 31, 2017
There’s no denying that social media has a powerful role in our lives and personal relationships.  It helps us stay connected, spread information, and share our stories with one another in a really unique way.
But isn’t it safe to say that many times – instead of adding to our lives, it begins to take over?  I know that there are times in my life that I’m guilty of this. Even as I write this post, I am increasingly aware that my life is slowly creeping back in that direction.
It’s easy to get to a place where we want to post about the moments of life more than we actually savor those moments.
Maybe you’re aware of this tendency in your own life.  If so, consider the following signs that maybe it’s time for a social media break:
11.  You’ve actually said the word “hash-tag” out loud in a conversation.
10.  You’ve started formulating your thoughts in the form of a Status Update or Tweet.
9.  The majority of your socializing during the week requires the use of an electronic screen.
8.  The first thing you do when you wake up–or the last thing before you fall asleep — is check social media.
6.  The first urge you get in a moment of down-time is the urge to “check” the Social Media happenings.
5.  You’ve been known to peek at your phone while driving–just to see what’s going on.
4.  You go on with the intention of a quick look- but it quickly turns into an hour or more and devours your time.
3.  The main reason you know what is going on in your friend’s lives is because you’ve read about it- not talked about it.
If you find yourself caught up in one or more of the above list- than maybe it’s time to step back for a while and take a break.  While that might mean unplugging for an evening, a day, a weekend, or even longer–more than simply unplugging from social media- it’s a deeper call to plug back into real life.
It’s important to make sure that we are using social media as a way to enhance our lives- rather than allowing it to become life itself.
