I participated in my first ever social media fast and honestly, it was weird. LOL
It was weird because I have NEVER intentionally taken time away from social media. Since starting Miocoa in mid-2018, social media is a key part of my life–it’s my Google, it’s my search engine, it’s my lifeline and it’s also my job.
The first few days I found myself clicking the icon and quickly exiting the app. I say this loosely but I felt like an addict.
Other days I went to help clients with their hashtag strategies and realized I was no help to them without being able to find new tags. Note: Instagram has the best hashtag search feature of any network.
It really boils down to knowing how and why you use social media. Using it to escape your problems, validate your success, vent to strangers and tear others down is the wrong way to use social media. Using social media to connect with friends, family and people all across the world at lightning speed, well that’s the joyful part.
