I feel like our generation is slowly realizing how damaging social media is to our attention spans, mental health, and productivity. A year ago, I got rid of my iPhone and picked up a flip phone, and thus went off of social media. It has been a year, and here are my discoveries and thoughts!

21:12-22:57 – Outro and Closing Thoughts
So this is just a reminder to stop comparing yourself to social media. I took this video 3 years ago on December 8th 2020, when I had been working out for just 1 year and 8 months. And you might be thinking to yourself, wait this dude looks like this after not even 2 years of training. There’s no way. Well, what if I told you in that video, posing with perfect lighting, and a full upper body pump, I was only 157 pounds. At roughly 5 foot 9, that’s not really that heavy, especially considering the fact I am now 205 pounds, and look like this. But wait, that’s still posing under really good lighting, in perfect conditions, so take that away and I actually look like this. You see, I don’t have any crazy veins, I don’t have massive bulging shoulders, I don’t have a tiny waist, my butt probably is a little bit too big, and my posture isn’t the best, yes of course I still look pretty good, and I would hope so after nearly 5 years of consistent dieting and training, but if I were to just simply compare this physique to my physique 3 years ago, it just wouldn’t make any sense, right. Why would I compare what I look like walking around everyday in normal lighting, with a bit more fat than usual, to someone who’s on the peak of their cut, standing under god’s divine radiance itself, after a 2 hour arm session with enough blood in their upper body to fill a swimming pool. In reality, in December 2020, I actually looked like this, where if I were to put a long sleeve shirt on, it wouldn’t even look like I lifted. Moral of the story, don’t compare yourself to people you see online, because not even they look like that. And thankfully, life is more than just having a good physique and going to the gym, at the end of the day it does not matter how big you are, or how lean you are, or how wide your shoulders are, so don’t stress about it, because the only one who really notices is you.

a social media detox day in my life *quarantine experiment* I wanted to try a day with no social media each week and this was my first one! my screen time has gone up since quarantine, which is completely normal, but I wanted to give myself a creative break and a break from consuming. We’ll see how I like this as I do it weekly, so stay tuned on my vlog channel, I’ll update on there 🙂 I give you the challenge to do a social media detox day! It might look different for everybody, but I think giving yourself some time to be more present is important 🙂 ilysm, xoxo
