Are you sick of…
Social Media?
We feel the same!
You need a break!
Take it!
Disconnect for a few days and stay offline.
Give it a try; there’s nothing to lose!
Take some time for yourself, your family, or your hobbies. Explore nature, discover
your surroundings, engage with people in real life.
It’s like an experiment with your inner self.
See what happens or changes when you go offline for a few days.
Send us a message on Instagram or tag us so we can find out too.
We’re curious, and we hope you are too.
Oh, before we forget: We love social media and the opportunities
it brings. We’re not sick of social media in general – we’re sick of negative side
effects, the nature of certain content, and the overdose of social media content that
many consume.
We are advocating for a healthier approach to social media and aim
to involve providers in this effort.
To take a break, simply choose one of the images
below and share it on your social media app.
p.s.: Before you are taking your break: Feel free to check our change.org campaigns
below and leave a signature. Thank you!
PPS.: Please try not to use apps to block your social media apps
– harness the power of your mindset.
In that spirit:
Happy break!
