How to Save Yourself from Social Media Addiction

Why Social Media Detox?

Social media can be fun, but too much can hurt your focus, mood, and real-life relationships. A detox helps you regain control.

Signs of Social Media Addiction

• Checking your phone first thing in the morning and last at night.
• Feeling anxious when you can’t check notifications.
• Comparing yourself to others online.
• Spending hours scrolling without realizing it.

Detox Tips & Habits

• Set daily time limits for each app.
• Turn off non-essential notifications.
• Replace scrolling with a positive habit (reading, walking, etc.).
• Have “phone-free” times (meals, before bed, etc.).

Action Steps to Level Up

1. Track your screen time for a week.
2. Unfollow accounts that make you feel bad.
3. Try a 24-hour social media fast.
4. Use Covel to build a “no social media after 9pm” habit.
