National No Selfies Day

There is no denying that we live in a world where social media plays a huge part in our everyday life. All you need to do is refresh your Facebook or Instagram feed and you are bound to see plenty of selfies on your screen. Wouldn’t it be good if there were no selfies for one day at least? This is what No Selfies Day is about. On this day, you are encouraged to refrain from smartphone use. A lot of people rely on social media for work nowadays, whereas there are those that only use social media to connect with friends and family members. No matter what applies to you, it can certainly be beneficial to have a day away from the selfie stick! We are sure you have heard many stories about people comparing themselves to what they see on social media. This can cause a lot of people to feel upset because they feel like they are never going to have a life like the people they follow online. However, it is important to recognize that people only show you a very small portion of what they want you to see from their life. You never know what sort of turmoil they are going through in their own lives, and so it is vital that you never take everything that you see on social media at face value. This is also why No Selfies Day is vital, as it shows that there is awareness to shift the focus in the world of social media to share a more natural and less polished version of your life.
