I quit facebook and smoking together. I used to smoke 4-5 cigarettes a day and once i started being mindful about why i do and what i get, i took a stance to quit. I convinced myself to quit and also out of curiosity picked up a book about quitting smoking.After doing all this, I felt facebook and smoking are similar in so many ways. Trying to fill the non existent void in everyday life. And even though we are so much aware of our physical health , we hardly try to resolve our mental health issues. And then i quit facebook. Even though i used facebook for may be all together 45 mins a day. It feels so much better to not consume that insensible, utterly useless content.
