mindfulness daily check-in- july 26
Get a break from social media to stay in touch with reality.
We are bit addicted to social media. I admit for myself. But I think we need cleanse from time to time. Set boundaries on social media usage, We need to practice mindfulness because social media became an important part of our lives.
So what are the signs that we should take as an alert for mindfulness practice.
1. When you have 99 tasks in real life pending and you want to check notifications, if any from any social media account. You need to focus on 99 real life tasks before using social media.
2. When you using social media till late night and not getting sleep because you want to check them for few more hours.
3. When you do not want to go outside and interact with your friends or study with focus.
4. When you have free time and rather than doing something productive, you mindlessly navigating the social media. Just for the sake of time pass.
5. When you are a reader but not read a book over a month and stuck in social media notifications.
You need to become mindful. To stay focused and achieve your goals, set some boundaries with your social media handles.
I) Allot a time to use your social media accounts. Say for 2 hours. So after two hours, you need to log off your social media accounts and focus in real life.
2) When you have 99 tasks pending, say no to social media. Focus to finish pending tasks. Saying no to social media is no harm.
3) Log off all your social media accounts 30 minutes before the time you sleep. And set your sleep time for every day.
4) While eating, talking with someone, doing something, keep social media away.
5) When you are feeling bored and nothing to do, rather than passing time on social medias, do what interests you in real life.
Social media is good. But only when it is used in limits.

@ASilentObserver I agree! Socal media can be a good thing, but can also turn into an addiction that negatively affects your life. Setting boundaries around your use, and trying to be mindful about how you use it, makes a lot of sense.
@ASilentObserver Hi Obs!
How are you doing today? I hope you are having a wonderful day and week so far! 
What do you think about it? Am I correct? Share your views with us.
I completely agree with you, Obs! Personally, I do not struggle with this as I was never too keen on social media, but everyone around me is always on it. It really impacts a lot of things in a person's life negatively if they become too involved and/or obsessed with it. Therefore, it is okay, but only in moderation.
@ASilentObserver I agree any activity on the computer that is done to the point where it disrupts my life is a problem. I make sure that the computer does not crowd out family, friends, exercise, good healthy meals, sleep and recreation. Thanks for this post.
@ASilentObserver
Hahaha I am innocent I do not do social media anymore. But!
this bit
"5. When you are a reader but not read a book over a month and stuck in social media notifications."
Oh!!!!! Ohhhhh! I blame 7Cups not social media but I used to read books avidly but ugh so ok I will go read :)
@ASilentObserver
I believe in balance, social media/computer became very important and helpful in our lives so is nature, people around us. Sometimes it can be hard for people to find that balance.
@amiablePeace77 yes balance is what I am for.
@ASilentObserver
Hey Silent good post today
I will be honest tho-it is very hard sometimes to get away from the electronics. But in my house we do it 2 times over the weekend. Wow those times are rough. But they are kinda getting better
@ASilentObserver@ASilentObserver I have one social media and I don't really use it anymore. But I don't know what I'd do if I had all these Twitters and Instagrams and all this stuff people have now, its a LOT! I definitely don't use my phone when I am with other people. Why talk to someone else when you have someone right in front of you? About the reading, I much prefer holding a book in my hands and turning the pages, and using a cute bookmark and displaying the books I've read on my shelves to reading on a screen :)
@empathicForest15 I agree is sitting staring at your phone socializing with the person across the table? I don't think so either. Good for you one more way to stay in the moment.
I completely agree. You can't have too much of a good thing! It starts consuming your life.
