Social media break improves mental health
Quitting social media and the news are some of the best lifestyle changes I&#x27;ve made in my life. Both present constant feeds of &quot;stuff&quot; in ways that make the consumer think it&#x27;s important. As a result, the consumer does what corporations and businesses want most: they just keep consuming and looking for more to consume. For me, 99% of stuff on social media and the news is simply not worth any time, so while I never had issues with depression or anxiety or things like that, it was a pointless waste of my time and focus. Nowadays I do way more interesting things and enjoy the moment way more. I imagine for people who _do_ suffer from anxiety, etc due to social media, the effects would be even more significant.
