Social Media Detox Quotes

Just as one goes on a fast or a body cleanse you owe it to yourselves to detox your mind, it will not be easy but easy never yielded lasting results. ~ Aysha Taryam

What social-media really becomes after years of use is a constant stream of information both verbal and visual that at first drenches the mind, quenching its thirst for knowledge, and subduing its curiosity slowly but surly transforms into a torrent that renders the brain heavy and the mind restless. ~ Aysha Taryam

Social media is the basis of my career. Since I was a kid I've always used the Internet as a space to express myself creatively. ~ Kesh

Social Media isn't creating the problems in our relationships; it's only exposing the ones that already existed. ~ Steve Maraboli

It's super-important to have a strong social media presence, and Jane's always going, When interviewers ask you about your Twitter, say you love reaching out directly to your fans, and I'm like, I don't even know how to use Twitter or what the password is because you disabled my laptop's wireless and only let me go on the Internet to do homework research or email Nadine assignments, and she says, I'm doing you a big favor, it's for nobodies who want to pretend like they're famous and for self-promoting hacks without PR machines, and adults act like teenagers passing notes and everyone's IQ drops thirty points on it. ~ Teddy Wayne

I don't do much on social media. I don't really want people knowing about my life. ~ Sean Bean

Nature as a means of reproduction is important for these intellectual workers because the specialisation and one-sidedness of their work generates psychological instability and requires periods of complete relaxation without jarring sensorial stimuli (noise, media, social contacts). Nature is the most efficient compensation for intellectual stress since it represents the unity of body and mind against the capitalist division of labour. Extensive consumption of nature has traditionally been an element of the re-production of intellectual workers. (It started with Rousseau, then came the Romantics, Thoreau, the early tourists, Tolstoi, artists' colonies in the Alps, etc). The ecological movement responds directly to the class interests of the intellectual sector of the proletariat and the struggle against nuclear power plants is a mere extension of this struggle. ~ Anonymous

I wanted to just sink into my media downloads for a while and pretend I didn't exist. ~ Martha Wells

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for tattoos and STDs. ~ D.D. Barant

If you have to tell people on your social media profiles you're an "influencer" you are probably not. Reality check. ~ Rebecca Aguilar

Lovable work is visible work. The question of who gets a public platform as a worker and who does not is neatly side-stepped by Jobs's narrative. What do those in the invisible workforce call themselves in their social media profiles? What kinds of identities are available to them? These questions are critical because, as Jonathan Crary notes in his recent book, 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep, while the notion of identity is bound up with public visibility, today that public exposure has become detached from communal forms that once provided safekeeping and care. Crary notes that in the always-on, 24/7 temporality in which we now live, the pressure to be constantly consuming or producing necessitates a constant presence in the public sphere, specifically in the marketplace. ~ Miya Tokumitsu

A life had been ruined. What was it for: just some social media drama? I think our natural disposition as humans is to plod along until we get old and stop. But with social media, we've created a stage for constant artificial high drama. Every day a new person emerges as a magnificent hero or a sickening villain. It's all very sweeping, and not the way we actually are as people. ~ Jon Ronson

Think of social media as the Internet. I can't think of anyone betting against the Internet in 2012. ~ Gary Vaynerchuk

...social media and the internet are introducing all kinds of new options into social and romantic life. And while it's exciting, sometimes even exhilarating, to have more choices, it's not necessarily making life easier. ~ Aziz Ansari

The parents are in charge of all the stuff like technology in the house and time on screens and hours on social media, but then their computer goes wrong and they're like a baby, going, "What happened to my document?" "I can't get Facebook." "How do I load a picture? Double-click what? What does that mean?" And we have to sort it out for them. ~ Sophie Kinsella

Twitter and social media have so changed the game for filmmakers, but especially for artists. It shrinks the world and gives chance to feel like they know you. But it's a blessing and a curse. It can help build you up, but there's also such anonymity. ~ Gina Prince-Bythewood

Instagram, as well as all other social media platforms, is meant to complement your main marketing efforts for your business, not take over them. ~ Kevin J. Donaldson

Looks, intimidation, specialisation, special titles, awards, and any superlative status quo can never hide the deficient character of a toxic leech of calumny, and/or one's excessive sense of entitlement.

Genuine diplomacy, true deep honesty, sincerity, and mutual respect are absent in an arrogant, offensive, defensive, deceptive, destructive, distractive, intimidating, abusive, defamatory, sicko, toxic, and sadistic, manipulative, unscrupulous, strategical, power player, fame whore. ~ Angelica Hopes

Social media presents an opportunity for business people to connect and know each other prior to a phone call or email taking place. ~ Jeffrey Gitomer

The thing about social media is that it is anonymous, so it can be much more vitriolic and extreme than normal media and yet it is there for everyone to see. It is kind of like electronic graffiti. The political process is accelerated and intense in a way that I don't believe it ever really has been before. ~ Tony Abbott

Success-minded people know that first and foremost, in all we do, we must think of others first. By thinking of others, how they feel and what they need, will not cost you a thing nor will it lessen what you have to say. ~ John Patrick Hickey

Social media is great for collective sharing, but not always so great for collective building. Good for collective destruction, but maybe not so good for collective construction. ~ Thomas L. Friedman

Social media allows us to behave in ways that we are hardwired for in the first place - as humans. We can get frank recommendations from other humans instead of from faceless companies. ~ Francois Gossieaux

Social media can easily become the equivalent of junk food for our soul ~ Ken Shigematsu

The sex difference in Agreeableness puts the debate about sex discrimination in society into an interesting light. The media tends to decry the fact that the prevalence of women chief executives of large corporations is very much lower than 50 per cent. But is this really evidence that discrimination is operating? It could equally well be the case that there is no discrimination, but that fewer women want to emphasize status gain at the expense of social connectedness. Given the known relationships between Agreeableness and career success, and the known sex differences in Agreeableness, you could actually work out the expected number of women in top positions if the market is blind to sex. It would not be zero, but it would be not be 50 per cent either. ~ Daniel Nettle

Before you post online ask yourself two crucial questions: Does my content add to the space; or, is it just clouding the feed? ~ Germany Kent

I'm not a gadget freak, so to say. I own an iPhone, which I love, and would sorely love to upgrade to MacBook Air from my current MacBook Pro. But what gets me going is the technology behind the gadgets, new websites, new apps. And I'm way too much into social media - FB, Twitter and Instagram are always open on my phone. ~ Shreya Ghoshal

Good manners is just being respectful of others. Whether you know them or not, you should show respect for all people. ~ John Patrick Hickey

There are many people who have no idea what they should be living for, or the meaning of their lives, nor have they any guide to tell right from wrong. God looks down at people in that kind of spiritual fog, that spiritual stupidity, and he doesn't say, "You idiots." When we look at people who have brought trouble into their lives by their own foolishness, we say things like "Serves them right" or we mock them on social media: "What kind of imbecile says something like this?" When we see people of the other political party defeated, we just gloat. This is all a way of detaching ourselves from them. We distance ourselves from them partly out of pride and partly because we don't want their unhappiness to be ours. God doesn't do that. Real compassion, the voluntary attachment of our heart to others, means the sadness of their condition makes us sad; it affects us. That is deeply uncomfortable, but it is the character of compassion. (121) ~ Timothy J. Keller

Being on Twitter and social media, you obviously get to see a lot more of what people are thinking of you and of your show. ~ Eliza Taylor

An effective content strategy has to mix your authenticity, your story & your authority mixed with the shares of other peoples content.

If you're only sharing other peoples stories, authority, authenticity & brands, how does that make any new or old visitors want to connect with yours?

And, only reposting without sharing why you chose to share it & what your thoughts are on that content creates zero connection to you and for you. ~ Loren Weisman

Our media, which is like a planetary nervous system, are far more sensitive to breakdowns than to breakthroughs. They filter out our creativity and successes, considering them less newsworthy than violence, war, and dissent. When we read newspapers and watch television news, we feel closer to a death in the social body than to an awakening. ~ Barbara Marx Hubbard

Putting a photo into your LinkedIn stream increases engagement up to 90%. ~ Jason Miller

You look at pictures of Nepal, push a smile button, and you think that's the same as going there. ~ Dave Eggers

I view social media as a Sunday newspaper that is pleasant to read on a lazy morning. ~ Steven Magee

Focus On How To Be Social, Not On How To Do Social. ~ Jay Baer

THE CURIOUS THING was that Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr and Blogspot, a media platform owned by Google, were the stomping grounds of self-styled intellectual and social radicals. It was where they were talking. It was where, they believed, the conversation was shifting.
They were typing morality lectures into devices built by slaves on platforms of expression owned by the Patriarchy, and they were making money for the Patriarchy. Somehow this was destroying the Patriarchy.
So there is always hope. ~ Jarett Kobek

Keep up with social media. Twitter and Facebook are both great ways to get your music out, especially internationally. ~ Dia Frampton

Without social media, I'd probably just be a quirky, amateur photographer with a hard drive full of photos. I'd be cold calling respected publications, begging for a feature. ~ Brandon Stanton
