Summary! 1. Look back at old photos ~can show you how you used to be without social media 2. Read a new book and annotate it ~annotating is similar to journaling ~can help you get to know yourself more 3. Go for a drive ~go somewhere you’ve never been ~don’t use gps 4. Watch a new show ~she started watching the witcher ~find something you’ve never heard of 5. Journal ~you can use prompts 6. Bake ~doesn’t even have to look or taste good it’s just fun 7. Meditate ~sit with yourself ~go outside 8. Do a mani pedi ~you can have fun with it! 9. Picnic ~good way to connect with nature ~can even do this is your yard ~can bring a book 10. Friendship bracelets ~7:54 she shows some she has made ~can give them away 11. Workout ~go on a walk or run ~Pilates 12. Go to coffee shop ~bring computer or book ~people watching 13. Write a book ~write what makes your happy 14. Film a music video with your friends ~use videostar or iMovie ~vlog your summer and use those clips at the end of the summer 15. Learn an instrument ~can learn on the internet 16. Color/paint ~don’t use reference pictures ~could use a coloring book 17. Go on a walk 18. Take a bath ~turn on some music ~light a candle ~read a book 19. Make a vision board ~ use Pinterest 20. Go to the park ~swing on swingset ~can bring dog or cat ~paint at the park 21. Make a playlist 22. Learn to crochet 23. Clean ~deep clean or cleanout 24. Write some poetry 25. Go swimming ~buy a kitty pool ~play mermaids 26. Go to a concert ~stay hydrated ~doesn’t have to be expensive concert you can see someone you don’t even know 27. Explore local stores or go shopping ~thrifting 28. Buy plants 29. Have a movie night ~go to the theatre or stay home ~romanticize it 30. Have a photoshoot 31. Try new makeup or hairstyles ~tons of tutorial online 32. Put together outfits in your closet ~have fun with it 33. Go out with your friends and pretend you’re living in an 80s movie ~go do some crazy shit 34. Make RU-vid videos Those are all of her ideas!! Some things I suggest too are 1. Scrapbooking 2. Hiking 3. Reorganizing your room. I like changing up the posters on my wall 4. Dance in your room 5. Go to the beach if it’s summer 6. Go outside and make a flower crown 7. Play with pets if you have any And a tip that has helped me stay off my phone is putting the screen time widget up. It’s like a reality check each time I open my phone

Hi! I love the energy you bring into this channel, I’m glad your videos popped on my RU-vid. I have a question for you, you said you deleted social medias but you obviously kept RU-vid. Do you find this platform distracting in any way? Your videos inspired me to delete TikTok to avoid doom scrolling.❤ But I would never delete RU-vid since I rarely watch videos and when I do, it’s only to keep me company while I’m cooking or cleaning
@gillianelaird
@gillianelaird 3 месяца назад
hi! so my relationship with youtube has never been that intense. i've always wanted to post, but when it comes to watching videos i typically go through phases of bingeing my favorite creators and then not watching at all. but since deleting social media i am much more discerning with what i watch on here. i'm a little more aware of what kind of content will benefit me and what won't.

Hi , i just found your channel couple days ago.. I watched the quitting social media video for three times maybe .. i love your topics and the way you share thoughts.. i used to hate these apps and i love other things like cooking, drawing and reading . But unfortunately I sometimes re-downloaded these apps and became more anxious and hate my life again because i dont want but maybe im afraid of being behind idk 🥲 wish me luck this time
