Day 3 of Social Media Detox

2:19pm

Should I delete my personal account and let my travel account stay after my detox? Or should I deactivate my personal account and make a new one, following people who radiate positivity? Or should I just unfollow people that have negative vibes to them? Then I will use Instagram for 15 mins max. daily, except for Mondays? Or should I just use it on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for 15 mins. max? 

I honestly don’t wish to spend a lot of time in Instagram but I also want to upload photos especially in my travel account.

Anyhoo, today I had fun using Apple Pay. I used it when buying groceries from Cold Storage, paying for breakfast at Swensen’s and getting deodorant from Watsons. So convenient and fast! I was wondering if Australia accepts Apple Pay 90% of the time because I prefer to be cashless if I were to work there in the future.

Even when I had to pay for coin prata with cash just now, I felt uncomfortable and just not… perfect? Maybe it’s just me since I’m a perfectionist and I live in an unrealistic perfect world in my head but I don’t know. I’m pretty sure many stores will accept cashless payments in the future. Who knows?

Alright, I know this wasn’t related to Social Media Detox but I was enjoying myself using this new way of paying this morning till I didn’t think much about my Instagram… or did I?

5:25pm

Alright, I’ve decided to deactivate my current personal account and create a new private one after my detox. Boyfriend referred to as “to start a fresh slate”. and I agree with his suggestion!

Anyhoo, I’ve kind of decided on the photo and caption I will post in my new personal private account. The caption will go like this:

“I’m finally starting a fresh slate after returning from the much-needed Social Media Detox. After being Social Media-free for 5 days, I’ve become more self-aware of my addiction and I’ve learnt to be more mindful, especially enjoying the present moment. This experience taught me the importance of not allowing my life to be controlled by Social Media. I am grateful and more grounded than ever. Cheers to a new beginning!”

6:00pm

I feel like I don’t want to have a personal account because I feel pressured to follow people I don’t want to? But at the same time, I know the personal account will be good with Boyfriend and family. I will just let this go. The chatterings in my mind will be silenced in some way or another.

A Little Update…

Hey guys!

Omg I know I have not been blogging as frequently as before ever since I started uni! I really apologise for that! I swear it seems impossible to find extra time for blogging every day when I have to study every day after school (heck sometimes there’s not enough time to do homework!)

So, how was school so far?

Hmm besides feeling intimidated by the innumerable amounts of tasks, assignments and quizzes, I feel that it’s okay as long as I am consistent in my daily study routine. I did feel overwhelmed especially today when I spent the whole day at school but I believe I can continue with where I’ve stopped, tomorrow since I have no lesson tomorrow!

Tonight, I can’t make myself study because my mind is overloaded with a lot of things that I really need rest. I’ll probably spend most of my time tomorrow to study, and revise! I have yet to make study notes for 3 modules in total, and homework for 2 modules as well.

So I’ll just organise and plan the things I need to do tmr so that i won’t miss out anything, and that I won’t be too stressed!

I might not be able to update my blog as often, probably 1-2x a week, but I appreciate those who always dropped by to read!

Thank you so much xo
