Social Media DeTox
Hello My Allys,
Hope you all are doing well! It is Tuesday again and here I am. Well, you all must be wondering how can I make a statement like that, a person who is every week attached to social media always bring to you something different and hutke is asking you to have a social media detox.
When I first pitched this idea to my friends just to get a reaction from them. I realised smartphones have become an inseparable element in most of our lives. And to top the list is Social Media, that feature is used most of the time in any smartphone. Be it to watch videos sent on whatsapp, or just to scroll through Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. It has indeed become a part of our lives, the most addictive thing ever! Even if we aren’t texting anyone we are just scrolling through feed on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter. And when I say We, well I mean it as Me too. Yes, several times I too do the same.
Sometimes we think or say to ourselves that we will scroll through social media for just 5 minutes but end up sitting almost half an hour, only to realize you are already running late from to school, college or work.
Now, having a social media Detox isn’t difficult. You need to do it in the right way. We cannot avoid social media platforms completely as to how many disadvantages it has, it has several advantages too. It connects us to our friends sitting in one country to the other! While it also helps us to explore the world, while we stay connected to family. But as it is always said too much of anything can be dangerous.
Try to avoid using your phone atleast 10-15 minutes before you go to bed. You can either pick a book and read or else brush and floss too are best options at night, just before you hit the bed.
Secondly, avoid your phone early morning especially when you on the bed. Wake up, get to the nature admire the nature the leaves, flowers feel blessed and grateful for the countless moments the universe has given you.
Third, try to Unfollow people who aren’t your real friends, unsubscribe yourself from emails and most importantly delete apps you don’t use. Several times, it is because your phone blinked or the notification triggered is the reason that you went to your phone to check it, resulting into hours of scrolling through some other applications.
Try to spend more time in real with people, rather than on social media looking at someone else’s virtual world. Explore a place near by, visit/revisit an old friend, someone who you didn’t meet but there isn’t a single day passed without that person crossing your mind. Send flowers to that person! Who doesn’t love flowers? Send flowers and make them feel special. Gestures like these in the long run will make you happy! It is only when you are happy, you can make someone else happy! Its like a chain, when you make someone else happy, he/she reciprocates the same to someone else and then it goes so on! Ting!
Whatever you do, wherever you are stay happy! That’s all what I pray for you all! And of course I pray for one more thing that after reading this article, you will like, comment and share your views about social detox whether or not, this a need of the hour. Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Holidays!🏖
Hello my Lovelies! Hope you all are doing well… #BeingAllycaral is back this Tuesday with #BeingAllycaralTuesdayTips. Well, summer is almost here and with this scorching heat, the unseasonable spell of monsoon is the only source of relief for us. Most of us would prefer to stay in doors to avoid this heat, while the others would get to destination like the beach getaways.
Well, keeping all of this in mind here are a few tips how one can have a memorable trip. So dher kis baat ki, (what’s the delay for?) let’s get started!
1. Use Public Transportation – Whenever you plan your holiday to a new place or a public destination always try to use the public transportation or the public mode of commuting in this area. This helps a lot especially to put yourself in to the shoes of the locals in that area.
2. Maintain a Travel Diary – Yes! A Diary that documents every moment of your trip. You don’t have to write down everyday or every moment but hey try to note down important stuff like about the facts about the place you are visiting or for that matter about the restaurants that you visit. Always make sure to try food in a restaurant that is suggested by a local from that place. They can be your best guide.
3. Learn the Language – Everyone should try this one! It is lot more fun than you think, especially when you interact with the person who already is familiar with the language. The amount of happiness you feel that you accomplished something different and Hatke is something which is priceless.
4. Explore the Place on your own – This could be a challenging task but hey! You should give a try to such things, you never know what you might have in store for yourself. I always believe the experiences that you encounter in your day to day life or for that matter the circumstances or situations that you come across, everything happens for a reason. And when such a thing happens you either win gracefully or you learn tactically. So go ahead, give it a try! If you are scared, you should first experiment this in your own neighborhood, try it out in your own city itself and see the difference. Your confidence levels up. Then slowly try a new state and then a whole different country. Another important thing, while exploring do not forget to buy yourself a momento of the place you visited. It could be a simple souvenir that you could keep along. Buying such things not only adds to your showcase but also every time you see this place, it brings back the memories of that particular day!
5. Document the moment – Record every moment on your trip but at the same time enjoy the moment! Once someone told me, “Leave the phone aside, not everything can be captured through the phone. Sometimes it’s best to see through your own eyes!” Well true, in every possible way! But clicking pictures too keep the memories intact. So now what I do is, when I visit a new place, first I admire the place through the naked eye and then click pictures. Because in case memory gets weak then phones help them to remember those moments once again!
Certainly, live every moment, capture memories good and bad because good makes you happy while bad teaches you to appreciate all the good memories. So yes! Life is too short to hold a grudge against eachother. Meet people, friends, acquaintances share ideas, appreciate one another for their good deeds at work, help one another and uplift to glory.
And Hey! You yes you reading my article. Thank you for taking time out and reading it. Means a alot… Have a fantastic week ahead.
