You may have seen the global OFF February movement encouraging people to step back from social media for the month. While a full break isnโt realistic for everyone, the idea behind it matters: creating healthier relationships with our screens and with ourselves.
At Southwest Therapeutics, we often talk about balanceโnot perfection. Even small digital pauses can help reduce stress, comparison, and burnout, while making room for sleep, focus, and genuine connection in the real world.
๐ก A few gentle ways to try a โmini detoxโ:
โ๏ธPut your phone down during meals
โ๏ธTake a social mediaโfree hour before bed
โ๏ธReplace scrolling with a walk, journaling, or calling a friend
โ๏ธNotice how you feel when youโre offlineโeven briefly
Mental wellness isnโt about quitting everything at once. Itโs about choosing what supports your well-being.
If social media use feels overwhelming or tied to self-esteem, anxiety, or mood, support can help. Compassionate, evidence-based therapy is available right here in Deming.
