Today it is considered normal, barely getting up from bed, to check your account, in social networks.
Facebook, Vkontakte, Twitter, Odnoklassniki and other sites for communication, more and more fill our time, and how absurd it would not sound, but it's social networks that deprive us of the opportunity to communicate with loved ones. Remember, after all, instead of kissing your boyfriend / girl in the morning, you first start checking your pages: what did they write to me, how many "likes" they got my new photos from the rest, who posted which posts, who has any news, etc. In short, modern communication every year more and more losing the face of reality.
No, of course, it's very good that you can communicate with close people who are now far away, but, you see, the search here is also out of place. It's like eating a lot of sweets: like you should be happy, but at the same time you realize that something is wrong. If you can not live without Facebook for a day, then it's time to stay a little offline and build your relationships with loved ones. How to do it? We offer you five effective ways.
1. Avoid temptations.
First of all, remove all social networking programs from the mobile: why tempt once again. Tell your friends that for some time you will not be on the site - let your friends know that you are all right and you are not dead. If you want to invite friends to an event or ask something, tell them - just call them. The art of secular conversation, nowadays, has become impossible to complex. Remember, the ability to conduct a conversation as a muscle: it needs exercises! So, hide your computer where far away - again, so as not to "break", and if you can not do it without him, then use it only for working purposes.
2. Read the real books.
Do you like to read? Read on to health, but only real books, paper, which you can look through, smell the freshly printed pages, or, on the contrary, worn over the years. Of course, this is not as economical as e-books, but you can buy at least one book. What is the use? The fact is that reading a paper book has a good effect on the brain. It contributes to the full concentration of attention, because you are not distracted from the storyline, clicking on the links of online stores. Staying for a long time on the Internet, our brain becomes more flexible, that is, skills of quick decision making are increasing. But in parallel with this, the ability to concentrate on one task for a long period of time decreases. So it is better to combine electronic and paper reading to rationally develop the brain.
3. Go for walks.
How important it is in our time to live the present moment. It's here and now you live, so enjoy this life in full! Take a walk in the fresh air, enjoy nature, and do not forget to leave your phone at home, mp3 and what else you always carry with you. Today you do not need it. Give yourself the opportunity to just wander the streets, plunged into pleasant meditation.
4. Send a postcard.
Facebook and other social networks are one of the most common ways to support communication with friends, but sending a postcard to a friend is much more interesting, and it's much more pleasant to receive it. And remember it will be much longer than the usual message on the Internet. Therefore, if you have an occasion to congratulate one of your friends - do it with a postcard, they will appreciate it. The answer will not keep you waiting. It is likely that soon you will get a pleasant response.
5. Meditate.
Updating and checking your profiles in social networks, of course, makes you think in different directions. But, do you manage all this? Thinking about something for only a few minutes a day, you can relieve stress, relax and concentrate your thoughts in the direction you need, and do it more quietly.
If you want to free up more time for something important, then it makes sense to delete all your accounts. The key is simply to create new habits:
- communicate with people not through computer screens, but by phone or live;
- focus on one activity, not all at the same time;
- read news in newspapers, magazines.
