I deleted social media for 7 days. I felt my brain was being overloaded with dopamine lately and I needed a good detox to reset my brain, build momentum with discipline, and find joy in my personal life. This challenge was super fun and I hope you guys take something from this video. Enjoy 🙂

However I am still unsure on when or if I will ever redownload tiktok.
In this video I share my own experience with social media and the reasons why deleting it might be beneficial to you.

Social Media was at one point an essential part of my life, so quitting was something I never imagined I’d do. However, about more than year ago I decided to delete most of my social platforms for the sake of my sanity lol. Although the process has come with its fair share of ups and down, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Hopefully this video helps you out a if youre looking to do the same, all the best!! Love ya
