The final question that Robert Oliva helps us with in our “Going to Hell in a Handbasket Because of Covid” health series is one we may all probably need help with. We’ve actually been forced to buy a new couch because the springs in our ancient one finally smashed to the floor.
We’ve all become couch potatoes and social media addicts. What’s a few ways we can break our patterns?
Social media addiction has been shown to be an actual addiction and negatively impact our mental health and our decision-making.
Having an inactive lifestyle can cause weight gain, weaker bones, poor circulation, and hormonal imbalances.
Social media addiction and sedentary lifestyles undermine our well-being.
Here are some ways to battle your social media addiction:
· Turn off notifications!
· Do a social media cleanse.
· Form a new habit.
· Take a holiday from social media.
· Go cold turkey.
Here are ways of getting off the couch:
· Take an indoor walk around the house.
· Go out for an outdoor walk.
· Stay hydrated to reduce cravings.
· Start a modest exercise program.
· Reward yourself for being active.
· Download free exercise apps.
Good luck!
