Good idea to make yourself scarce, y/n?
Idk, strange mood where I just can't be bothered. Hopefully, I'll feel SUPER GREAT in the morning.

I think that is a good idea, from time to time I disconnect from social media so i wont be defined by certain things and just connect with myself and being apart of the outside world

Really good idea. Too much temptation to check up on someone, and I don't think being 'plugged in' and available all the time is actually healthy for us as humans. Sometimes you just need to chill.

Ha ha ha...great to see this thread! I have an account in facebook and in WhatsApp too, I don't access them for more than 2 years I guess(though I was never a social media type of a person).
And I feel relaxed since then,my love's posts,pictures,being online and not pinging me even once don't agitate me anymore!!
Great to see I was so right!
Love you all !!!

As long as it makes you feel super great. I think it's well worth the try. I find myself barely on social media anymore apart from this forum which greatly raises my vibration.
Another thing to consider is certian shows and the news you watch on the tv. Those things greatly affect us and we are not even aware of it. Choose more uplifting things which you want your life to emulate.
I don't know if I can give up watching The walking dead though..

I rarely watch TV anymore. Don't read or listen to the news. At first I worried I'd miss out on stuff.. And that is somewhat true! HOWEVER what you miss is all the unnecessary drama and negativity! If there's something I NEED to know, the info always gets through to me somehow ππ

Yeah, I've stopped reading newspapers and although my family insist on watching the news, I tend to switch off mentally so that it goes in one ear and out the other. I live in Spain and a few years ago I became quite stressed and ill, worrying about the political situation, whether there was going to be another civil war, and so on. I'd listen to a political radio program every weeknight which was all doom and gloom, and the more I listened, the more anxious I'd feel. And the more I worried, the worse the situation seemed to get. So one day I just decided to give it all up and give up worrying, too. I instantly began to feel so much better. And finally nothing terrible happened - and the rumours of civil war that I had been so afraid of just fizzled out into nothing. Which is big proof that when we stop putting energy into worrying about a problem, it tends to disappear easily from our lives of its own accord.Β

This is so true. What you feed grows. In the United States there was a big unrest with law authority on black youth violence. It was like everywhere you turned there was another Trayvon Martin story. I stopped watching the news then. Anti anything only promotes more of it. Anti drugs, anti war, only creates more of it.
