I'm glad that you came across my post and that it gave you some good ideas. I'm also cheering you on in your attempts to try and quit your social media addiction. I can tell you that it's absolutely not an easy thing to do, at least in my case, but I'm sure it has to be possible to overcome. I mean... our ancestors were able to get along without phones and social media, so I'm sure we can too, even if the landscape of today does make it a little more difficult to be "in the know" without the aid of social media.
Maybe part of the process of letting go is embracing the "Joy of Missing Out" (JOMO) rather than the "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO). Sometimes what I turn to in moments like this are books I find at the library, magazines that I find at my local bookstore, and other things like that to pass the time. The magazines I like the most at the bookstore go by the name "Bella Grace". Those magazines focus on the smaller things in life that make life magical when you look at them more closely. But you can find other magazines and books tailored to your individual interests, like things about writing, self-defense, etc. There's a whole world of new and old interests out there just waiting to be re-discovered.
