Determine a specific amount of time you're allowed to spend on social media each day and stick to it. Use apps or features that remind you when you've reached your limit.
Instead of mindlessly scrolling, designate specific times during the day to check and engage with social media.
Replace reel scrolling with activities that bring you joy or relaxation, such as reading, exercising, or spending time with loved ones.
Minimize distractions by turning off notifications for social media apps. This can reduce the urge to constantly check for updates.
Be mindful of the content you consume. Unfollow accounts that promote unrealistic standards or trigger negative feelings.
Talk to friends or a mental health professional if you're struggling with reel addiction. They can offer support and strategies to help you reduce your usage.
Consider using apps that block access to social media during certain times of the day to help you stay focused on other tasks.
