How can you protect yourself in this every increasing media obsessed world?

thoughtful answers?

Identify the problem. We use media to keep up-to-date with the world and our families, but are we addicted? We are accostumed to receiving notifications all the time, and our brains may be wired to constantly check. Make sure you're not checking your phone for instant gratification! Things that you can do right now; turn off notifications, set times to go on "Do not disturb" mode, or place in drawer so that way it is out of sight and out of reach.

Limit time spent on social media. This is one of the most harmful and easiest things to do. For example, if we average 2 hours of social media per day, for the next decade, that means we will spend around 7,120 hours on social media. This can be controlled by changing the settings on your phone to alert you of your screentime, or download an app that documents your screen time.

Learn to be bored again. We are living in the most entertaining decade in human history, we can multitask, distract ourselves and do almost anything with little effort. However, we resort to media because we find boredom uncomfortable. This is harmful because this interfers with our focus, and limits our creativity. If we do not give our minds a break from constant, mental distractions, we no longer have the drive to be creative anymore. Take a walk, learn to meditate, adopt a new hobby, etc. Instead of watching people create things online, become the person that creates things.

glamis thou art, and cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promis'd; yet do i fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; art not without ambition; but without the illness should attend it. what thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, and yet wouldst wrongly win: thou'dst have, great glamis, that which cries, "thus thou must do, if thou have it: and that which rather thou dost fear to do than wishest should be undone." hie thee hither, that i may pour my spirits in thine ear; and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round, which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crown'd withal.
