Transcripts
I'm not going to sit here and tell you
that deleting social medias is the
easiest thing to do because it's not I
know from personal experience that I
didn't want to delete them because I was
too worried I would miss out whether it
was the news or whatever it was my
friends were up to I just felt like I
was going to be alienated from the world
so I decided to ask myself is that
really such a bad thing I figured
whatever I only have like two friends
anyway so I decided to just delete
social media get it out of the way get
it out of my life I'm not going to lie
it did feel pretty weird at first I
found myself scrolling on things like
Gmail and photos which is like pretty
random but that made me realize that
scrolling is basically a coping
mechanism for your brain when you're
bored so it made me think should I
really be this bored this often so I was
like look I didn't delete social media
just to occupy myself with some other
app so I put my phone in another room so
I wouldn't feel the urge to just
compulsively pick it up and
Boom the boredom begun however this
wasn't the typical boredom that would
typically just be filled by scrolling
this boredom had me thinking
H what should I do now I felt like a
hundred doors all with different
possibilities just opened up in front of
me like it was a weird feeling honestly
so in the daytime I started going on
more walks I started spending more time
outdoors I started walking my dog way
more like this dog was getting like six
walks a day and when I couldn't go
outdoors I would like tidy up my room I
would Journal I even asked my family to
play board games which I hadn't done in
like years and this just made me
reminisce do you guys remember when you
were a kid and you would just get so
excited to watch a new movie or play a
new game or get that new toy like
seriously think about it do you guys
remember because I was one of those kids
I felt like as a kid I was able to just
have fun with whatever it was you put in
front of me like and after a couple days
without my phone this slowly started to
come back to me I also realized simply
how productive you can be if you just
got rid of that one major distraction
that is your phone I mean it's honestly
so crazy how much power your phone holds
in your life like you don't even realize
how much time you spend on it every
single day and when I decided to just
get rid of it for a certain amount of
time I really realized this and it's
like you have so much time in a day but
your phone and screens just occupy so
much of your day I mean I know it's such
a relevant thing um being productive and
productivity and procrastinating like
all three of those things go together
and it really just comes down to
obviously being distracted and being
bored but when the phone is right beside
you at all times your brain just tells
you that you're bored because you don't
have that dopamine Rush going on all the
time and you just get that simple fix by
picking up the phone and it just
consumes consumes you it just consumes
you like I speak firsthand experience I
was consumed by my phone and when I put
my phone away I was more productive I
felt more connected with myself I felt
more at peace and when I reflect on it
on all the positive experiences I got
from just putting the phone down my
brain really didn't want me to do it at
first so it really is like a mental
battle that you have to have with
yourself in order to put this device
that holds such great value
in your life away for a certain amount
of time it's it's it's not simple but
man I just felt like it it honestly made
me feel young again you know it made me
feel not that I'm not young but like it
made me feel like I was a kid again
everything felt like I was experiencing
it again like I went to the park you
know with nothing just by myself and I
was just like looking at
trees it was just me and my thoughts
nothing there to really d distract me
also the that you see on social
media and the that you see on your
phone just doesn't matter like what is
the stuff that we are consuming every
day on social medias on Instagram on
Facebook on Twitter on whatever it is
like what is this stuff that we're
consuming and why does our brain want
this fix so much think about it if it
was like a good fix of information for
your brain to consume it wouldn't want
so much of it so it's like the fact that
it keeps you just coming back for more
it just shows that like you probably
shouldn't really be consuming it cuz
it's addicting right I guess in summary
this wasn't easy but it was definitely
worth it it's definitely something that
I would tell you to do if you feel like
you kind of need a reset in your life
you feel like things are may be getting
a little too out of hand too out of
control whether it's your work habits
your procrastination habits something
like that just try and cut something out
of your life that you feel is taking up
too much of your time because I'm
definitely just not on it as much as I
used to be I realized that it really is
just pretty brain dead just the on
there I unfollowed a lot of people that
I don't know man cutting it out was
great and it's definitely just helped me
limit my usage more but yeah you guys
already know all of this I just wanted
to share my experiences with you let me
know your thoughts on this in the
comments let me know if you've ever done
something like this let me know if you
would ever try something like this just
let me know your overall thoughts guys
drop it in the comments if you like the
video drop a like drop a sub I'd really
appreciate it guys I'm trying to hit 700
