Goodbye Twitter. Social Media Distancing

Social media unfocused can be a warped vacuum. I feel during this anxiety filled time my Twitter account became my enemy and not my stress release friend. I had over 2500 followers and followed almost the same. I got away from my primary goal. I really just wanted to see hobbies, art, religious interests and pets. The problem is people you follow don't always post very specific topics all the time.
I saw increasing posts with doom and gloom, misinformation or flat out misrepresentations of themselves or fraudulent accounts. I saw immoral, unethical and misinformed posts. Bottom line I felt sucked in to these things and bombarded on a daily basis. I started to feel that anxiety when you work with people that don't share your values and feel stressed even after leaving work.
My husband yesterday pointed out to me a study he probably heard on John Tesh. 
He said something I already know. News and social media in gobs are not good for your mental health. In the past 10 days I have watched Twitter and news way too much. I wasn't living life. I was getting a lot of information and a lot of it not fact checked from around the world. It was too much mental sifting and for what? It wasn't giving me anything better in my life. There are some beautiful people on Twitter with enjoyable accounts. However, for me the bad out weighed the good.
It's time to get back to crafting and listening to some good music. It's time to take a walk or take a ride and take some pictures. There is so much to do even with social distancing. Be mentally well my friends. It's ok to leave trivial things behind and be a better you.
