The key to happiness is doing this!

 

Here’s something we all probably know but most refuse….take a break from social media!

A new study found that even taking a one-week break from social media makes us happier. Researchers asked 150 people who use it every day to stay off it for a week. And by the end, they were less stressed, less depressed, and happier overall.

The sad part is a lot of them COULDN’T do it. The average person still spent 21 minutes of their week on things like Facebook and TikTok. But that was seven-and-a-half hours less than a normal week for them.
