BEYOND SOCIAL
We live in a world where social media often controls our attention, taking up hours of our day and shaping how we see ourselves. But constantly being "on" can make us lose touch with who we are and what really matters.
Why take a break?
Increased Anxiety and Depression: Here’s the part where things get serious. Studies show that heavy social media use—over two hours a day—is linked to increased levels of anxiety and depression among adults. So, all that scrolling? It’s not always as relaxing as we think. (source)
Cognitive Impairment: You know that hazy feeling after hours of scrolling through social media? It's not just in your head—overexposure can lead to mental fogginess, a shorter attention span, and trouble keeping your thoughts organized. That’s a lot of brainpower drained. (source)
Self-Esteem Impact: Spending more than 2 hours a day on social media? A study found that those who scroll for more than 2 hours daily are twice as likely to rate their self-esteem as low compared to lighter users.
And we’re talking all ages here, not just teens. (source)
Addictive Behaviors: How about those endless notifications and likes designed to light up your brain's reward center, creating patterns similar to addiction? It's like reaching for that next hit of validation, and before you know it, you're hooked. Yes, it’s that powerful. (source)
Generational Trends: Did you know that 95% of U.S. teens are on social media? And it’s not just a quick scroll—over a third of them are on there “almost constantly.” That’s a lot of screen time, which means it’s more than just a habit; it’s a way of life.
And here’s the thing—these young people are about to step into the workforce, bringing that digital mindset with them. (source)
