I deleted my Instagram account and here are all ways to change my life

I learned to disable and reunite reality.


Three months ago, I made one of the most difficult decisions of my adult life. No, it was notkick up a smoking habit Or walk in my boss's office to declare: "I stopped!" I did something like a lot of people from our smartphone toxicomane population would actually say are evenFollowing Difficult to do: I deleted the Instagram application of my phone.

And here's what I can tell you about the beautiful beautiful and sunny pasture on the other side: life is better.

Seriously.

It is only when you erase the application of your life that you realize how quickly it has been dominated by this endless roller, that Triumphant Throill rushes to get a "like" on a new photo, What is inexplicable to double Press NSFW Kim Photos Kardashian. But do not take it from me.

In fact, recent data suggest that Android users alone are not increasing53 minutes a day On Instagram. It's more than six hours a week. In a year? These users will have passed the equivalent of almosttwo weeks on the application. (Two weeks!) Imagine all the time that will be miraculously given you with the simple cock faucet.

I do not regret my decision - and for all the reasons I listed here. So, if you want to know what it sounds like living in a forward-instagram or post-Instagram world, read it and consider serving the application of your life.

1
I have a lot more free time.

Thefree time I found to read, exercise and myriad other things exponentially increased after deleting my Instagram account. In fact, it was shocking to realize that Icould finally find the time to read Ulysses (seriously), or even finally clean this unwanted drawer that I had signed forrelax At one point in the next decade.

Everything fell to the moments of boredom. Instead of filling these moments by scrolling the application, I must now doSomething instead of looking in space. And I discovered that my body is naturally in the direction of reading books or taking a simple walk. Or, if it's a little while (like, say, in a crate), I learned not to fear these little moments of boredom. Instead, I use the opportunity to just dream, resulting in remarkable feelings of peace.

My anxiety instantly refused.

Since the creation of an Instagram profile almost six years ago, I spent hours comparing my life with others with more money, renowned and VScocam. As a person who is still fighting anxiety, I have never realized that the instagram acts in my anxiety. One of the final straws saw a random video of a beautiful female golfer striking a bull shot in a beautiful place in Spain, and I think of myself, "I hate my boring life so as not to be able to do anything . "

Fortunately, reality came back in full strength and I realized how completely ridiculous, because not only I never played golf in my life but I never intend to. I have no interest anything. And if I was ever going to Spain, there are 4,832 082 things I would do, about zero, playing golf. It was an instagram case giving me anxiety and feeding feelings of jealousy that really did not need to exist. At all. Talk about so-sabotage.

As soon as I deleted the application, however, I noticed that my anxiety felt more manageable, now that these triggers look like Envy - were no longer accessible to the touch of a button.

Despite his reputation for the Toast and Emily Ratajkowski Selfies, I found that my Instagram was too political, like a shocking number of friends and family positions, which I did not want to unsubscribe, and so appear Impolis - therefore used the platform to disseminate their points of view that I disagree with.

Maybe I'm sensitive, but it totally stressed me. Today, I live free from these points of view and I repeat Thanksgiving Thanksgiving much less.

In addition, at the rate I was going, I was well on my way to raise a personal photo library, like, 983,332 photos when I'm ready to turn 30. Do not forget: realize that anytime does not It's not worth registered is a key step to free you from the addictive setting of Instagram.
