But I can only do those habits when I&#8217;m at home, not at work. So I need to have other options that I can do in the office, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At Home Habits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go on a walk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook a healthy meal \/ meal prep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shop for groceries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete a workout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Journal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the house<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spend time with family \/ friends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At Work Habits: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read!!!

I have a full blog post explaining how to do this (with a free aesthetic template) <a href=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/index.php\/2025\/02\/21\/how-to-create-a-dopamine-menu\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping up with the news:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t love traditional news outlets on TV, etc., and find them hard to watch. It oftentimes feels very focused on the negatives because that&#8217;s what gets views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if I&#8217;m not going to be on social media or watching the news on TV, I need to get creative with ways to stay informed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My plan is to listen to daily news podcasts that I already listen to and read the newspaper if I feel that&#8217;s not enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, I feel overwhelmed with the 24-hour news cycle right now anyway. Keeping up constantly can be draining and depressing. So cutting back to the essentials could be a positive change in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What am I hoping to get out of this challenge? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few changes I&#8217;m hoping to notice once I quit social media for 30 days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u263a\ufe0f To feel overall more contentment and joy with my own life and <strong>less comparison to others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcd6 To start naturally gravitating toward my <strong>positive habits<\/strong> (going on a walk, cooking a healthy meal, reading, etc.) and less drawn to picking up my phone 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\ude0c To feel more peace, calm, and <strong>acceptance of boredom<\/strong>. Right now, every time I&#8217;m bored for a second, I&#8217;ll put on a YouTube video or start scrolling through social media. That&#8217;s not a good way to live and I want to move away from the need for constant stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcb0 To feel<strong> less influenced<\/strong> to buy unnecessary items that I see on social media and cut down on overall spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Challenge (Day 1, Day 15, and Day 30 results)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-723x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-723x1024.png 723w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-768x1088.png 768w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-600x850.png 600w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4-800x1134.png 800w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-4.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting on day 1, I&#8217;m feeling&#8230; <em>glitchy<\/em>. I am keeping a sticky note of how many times I feel the urge to pick up my phone and it&#8217;s <strong>insane<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After averaging it out, the numbers are downright embarassing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I felt the urge to pick up my phone once every ~3 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EVERY. THREE. MINUTES.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, there are other reasons to pick up my phone besides checking social media. I would also feel the urge to text someone or check email, etc. But for the most part, I just feel the urge to distract myself with something <em>mindless<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s to hoping the rest of the challenge gets better and this is just a day 1 problem&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 15<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halfway through the challenge, I&#8217;m feeling much better than on day 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The urges to pick up my phone and mindlessly scroll have massively decreased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often still find myself gravitating towards my phone, but for the most part, it&#8217;s not to check social media. It&#8217;s to text someone or do something else entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, I&#8217;m feeling more at peace, more calm, and less stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m still getting news every day from podcasts, so I don&#8217;t feel uninformed. But I&#8217;m not feeling the stress of constant negative news reporting on social media, everyone&#8217;s comments and reactions to everything, everyone&#8217;s highlight reels of their own lives&#8230; etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I just feel better. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 30<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the 30-day challenge, I&#8217;m feeling honestly incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really don&#8217;t feel the urge to scroll on social media hardly at all anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are still times where I&#8217;m bored\/anxious and want to distract myself. But I&#8217;ve replaced my doomscrolling with healthier habits (like going on a walk, reading a book, writing in my journal, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My stress and anxiety have decreased significantly. They&#8217;re not fully gone, of course, but the difference is very noticeable to how I felt before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m comparing myself to others less, worrying less about my daily life, less concerned about the negative news cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, I would highly recommend anyone struggling with overusing social media to try a challenge like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying off social media feels like second nature to me at this point and my life is better for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-723x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-723x1024.png 723w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-768x1088.png 768w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-600x850.png 600w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6-800x1134.png 800w, https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover-photo-6.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Quit Social Media for 30 Days: Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This challenge honestly changed my life. I&#8217;m less addicted to my phone, not doomscrolling at all anymore, and have filled my time with healthier habits I&#8217;ve always wanted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of staring at my phone for hours on end, I&#8217;m working on my blog more, reading more, exercising more, getting outside more&#8230; I feel better and don&#8217;t want to go back to the days of doomscrolling every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like I said before, I would highly recommend this challenge to anyone and everyone. Even if you don&#8217;t want to completely give up social media forever, doing a challenge (even if it&#8217;s just for a week or a day) can&#8217;t hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See how you feel afterwards. See if you want to go back to scrolling social media as much as you did in the past.
