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 🙂

Social media has been developed to connect people. However, quite early, scientists found that social media (and social media addiction) can lead to changes in the brain such an enlarged amygdala. First reports surfaced showing that people compare their lives to lives they see on social media and report a decline of mental health upon heavy social media use. It seems like our brains cannot distinguish between social media and the real world. Social media also led to an attention span crisis meaning that we have a harder time to focus if we spend much time on social media. Moreover, social media is able to feed into the reward system of our brains. Everytime we perceive something good dopamine producing cells in the brain release dopamine which leads to a good feeling. Social media has used this mechanism to provide us with a constant stream of good feelings. Social media algorithms have been optimize to show more social media content in a shorter period of time leading to more dopamine. As a result, some argue that social media addiction should be recognized as a mental disorder.
Besides negatively impacting our brains on an individual level social media and social media addiction also impacts society. Last year, a sharp rise in tic symptoms have been reported among teenagers in the US. It seems like that tic-related content on tiktok together with anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to this rise in tic-like symptoms. So what should we do about social media? And how can we ensure that our brains are not negatively impacted by the constant stream of dopamine? Well, sometimes the best thing is just to avoid social media for a while.

Today we are talking about why social media can be dangerous.
Sorry for the delay guys a lot has been happening over the last 2 months. Custard’s bodywork is almost ready to have a brand new colour wrap and we CANNOT wait.
We’ve been a bit quiet on social media lately and have had to take a step back to work on us as a couple. We realised the busy lifestyles and all the behind the scenes stuff meant we weren’t giving each other enough attention, we were arguing constantly and our relationship was slowly slipping away from us. So we decided that counselling would help us sort all of that out – which it did!
So you have a brand new Kinging-it! – We’re back on form with a brand new vlog and with new head space which is just what we needed over the Christmas period!
Thanks for your patience, we hope you enjoy the vlog!

One of the most important videos I’ve made. After everything that happened to me in the past 2 years, I wanted to touch on an important subject. Social media isn’t evil by itself, but it’s fake and we need to open our eyes and realize that. The lives people share on social media, don’t reflect the reality they live in. After the privacy crisis in the past year, Mark Zuckerberg had to speak in front of congress.
Social media effects on your mental health are scary and we need to do something about it.
