What would you do if  Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or Twitter blew up today? Would you still have a purpose? Could you find something meaningful to do with your time? Do you even remember what you were doing before social media existed? There's a saying that goes " too much of anything is not good". Take time and evaluate yourself. Hand write a letter, send a postcard, or make a phone call. Ten years ago social media was unknown to the world and you were doing just fine.
​
Here are a few signs that you are obsessed with Social Media!
  • You only go somewhere or do something so that you can post about it- likes and comments mean everything to you.

  • You check your social media networks about every 10 seconds.
  • You plan your posts very meticulously.
  • You post several times daily.
Let's find out if you are a Social Media Freak!
