move ur connections with friends out of the apps

Give people your number. Text, call, make actual plans to hang out and put them in your calendar. Also it may seem annoying, but you have to tell people you are leaving the platform so they know to reach out to you else-how. Take the initiative to be the one to reach out to build the habit of actually catching up, rather than passively consuming life updates via “content” The dirty little trick of social media is locking you in via the relationships you are trying to sustain. It’s hard AF, but once you’re out, you’re out!

it's how i hear about stuff

the trad social media i use the most is instagram. the main reason I stay on it is that it's kind of how i hear about anything that's going on. that includes all the things that make me go "wow I'm so glad I heard about this thing I can do" but also all the things that make me go "aww man ☹️". been trying to strike a balance with how much of that noise I let into my life right now, so I've been relegating my instagram use to just on my browser on my personal laptop which i leave at home most days. trying to get back into having a dedicated "screen time" for socials so I can still keep up with things but I'm not just constantly bombarded with notifications and stories and new posts and news and current events and also what my friends are doing and also what local businesses are doing and also what bands and musicians I like are doing and also ADS ADS ADS ADS ALL THE TIME I DONT WANT TO BUY ANY OF THESE LEAVE ME ALLLLOOOONNNE trying to reclaim my peace of mind and my attention this year. tryna be like this but for the attention economy

newsletters > social media feed

wake up and start your day by reading all the newsletters you got instead of scrolling through your feed. liberate yourself from the influence of the algorithm. choose who influences you yourself.

IT'S *NEVER* TOO LATE

some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything

dancing

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
