The first thing you do every morning

If you always check social media first thing in the morning before any other activity, then you are becoming an addict. What social media addicts do daily when they wake up from the bed is to slowly scroll through what they have missed on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others during their eight or fewer hours of sleep. Some even go to the extent of waking up in the middle of the night to check what’s happening on these social media platforms. If you are doing any of these, it’s high time you broke yourself from them and give yourself some free mental space.
