Activities to do Instead of Scrolling on Social Media
Taking a break from social media can be important when prioritising your mental health. Here are a few ways you can avoid scrolling for hours!
📖 Read a new book from a genre you’ve not tried before
Why not try something completely different? You could find your new favourite!
🎨 Get creative and try a new hobby, no pressure for it to be perfect!
You could try scrapbooking, crotchet, painting, or even just doodling on a post-it note.
🎶 Listen to Calming Music or Podcasts
Soothing music can be incredibly helpful when trying to unwind. You could also listen to a podcast that interests you!
💌 Write a letter to a close friend or relative
Let them know you’re grateful for them, just because!
📕 Start a low-pressure journal
No need to do it every single day, just whenever you’re grateful for something or someone.
💆♂️ Try a Relaxing Breathing Exercise
Why not try the 4-7-8 breathing technique? It’s thought to help reduce nervousness, stress, and calm anxiety.
🌿 Take a Nature Walk
If you are able to, take a quiet walk outdoors, even if it’s just for a few minutes! Being in nature can help bring you to the present and ground your mind.
