Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc, all social networks very popular but if you do not have caution can end up absorbing not only your time, but also social life and even priorities.

If you think that social networks are becoming a problem, you can solve it by detoxing them, it is not necessary to leave them completely as they are useful as long as they are used correctly.

To end your dependence on social networks you must work gradually, you do not get anything to close all your accounts from one day to another, but you have to set limits and rules for their use.

To begin with check how you use your social networks, identify what is necessary and not necessary and the things that you are doing wrong or that cause you greater obsession or anxiety. If you know what the problems are, it is much easier to attack them and then build a healthy relationship with these important tools today.

It is impossible to quickly detoxify from social networks, you should do it slowly because otherwise the results will not be good, we recommend you set goals, for example do not use Facebook during working hours, reduce your posts on Instagram to daily or weekly amounts, set certain hours of the day for Twitter, etc.

If you are addicted or overly dependent on social networks, you probably neglected face-to-face socialization. Propose to use that time that you lost on Facebook to go for walks, to set up panoramas with friends and family, etc., in addition you will be busy and less anxious to check your accounts.

To make it easier to detox social networks there are add-ons for browsers and mobile applications that, necessarily, filter your ability to enter Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. These allow to establish a maximum time of continuous use, to make the access is blocked during certain hours of the day, etc.

If you do not trust yourself and believe that in a moment of weakness you could disable these tools, ask a friend or family member to create and protect the password required to enter the extensions and apps settings.

As time goes by and you do not feel so anxious about joining social networks, you can set rules to ensure a healthy use of these virtual communities and, if you rely on old habits to go back using the protection mechanisms you already know.

We recommend you continually evaluate your achievements and what you gain by detoxifying social networks, so you will be encouraged to continue on the right path and to leave aside that sickly dependency in which many fall.

It seems difficult, but it is possible to detoxify yourself from social networks and learn to have a healthy relationship with these tools that are part of our day to day, without letting Facebook, Instagram and other platforms have you enslaved.
