I’m going to attempt Scroll Free September! An initiative introduced by the Royal Society for Public Heath.
Reasons I want to do this
1. I get disturbed by my own addiction to social media. These apps are created to be as addictive as possible. They work like casino slot machines. This is worrying to me.
2. Instagram used to be fun. But for me it’s now 100% work. The pictures that get the most likes/attention are ones of my face. I don’t like that. I feel like it’s made this whole experience stressful, it makes me over think what to post if I’m really trying to communicate something, like what I’m working on, when I’m playing shows. If i want to get a message across, no matter what that message is, it’s always most useful to post a picture of myself. I don’t like what that conveys. I think it plays on vanity & insecurities. I think this app mostly tries to tell us to Look pretty. Look like you’re having fun. Be perfect. Look like the most 2019 possible version of yourself that has been determined by western beauty standards, fashion mags, plastic surgeons/filters & influencers.
3. I get mad when I’m in a public space like the tube or the airport & there’s something as basic as a long queue & I can see everyone around me taking pictures & videos having no consideration for everyone they’re taking a picture of & then posting it or sending it to someone. The worst part is how it’s ingrained in me to want to do the same & that compulsion makes me uneasy. I don’t like the mindlessness, the zombie participation that makes me feel like I’ve been conditioned.
4. There’s research out there that says this dopamine hit we get has effected our sex lives & anxiety levels, that these apps make us less able to concentrate & more easily distracted.
5. Fear that my career is over if I don’t post. That’s too much. Need to get over it. Stop mind controlling me fAcebook!
6. It’s giving babies an altered sense of self. Wtf.
I will post if I need to or get my management to post for me! I hope you will try this to! I’m gonna reflect on my own relationship with social media & make it healthier. As I do appreciate the positives here & community it can create! TTFN

banana_gadd Thank you so much for posting this, it completely resonates. These apps are hugely addictive. What’s scary is that I always think it’s only other people who succumb to the addiction whereas I’m in total control. I’m not in total control; even as I write this I know the thought of deleting these apps is anxiety provoking. For what it’s worth, my favourite photo you’ve posted on Instagram was of your mum cleaning your apartment when your folks came to visit you! Loved it. Keep on keeping on Kate. You are an inspiration and a phenomenal song writer. Much love 💕

kholli85 Also a point to add to number two.. you say to get a point across, you post a picture of yourself. But even at that, some people are simply scrolling and liking. Not even taking the time to read the captions - no matter what the picture is. I make it a point to read the caption for context. A picture says one thing, the caption could say another. Best Wishes on your enlightenment journey away from the ‘gram. ✨

_princess_pebble Wow that’s a really good point mate. Well put. I’m finding the mental health community on Insta really helpful and supportive, so won’t be going scroll free, just being careful😉 Everything in moderation ⚖️ Loved your character on Glow btw 👏🏻

lines_scrawls_marks I just like the dog. Not often will I see such a perfect amount of perspective and composition that the tongue and nose are 75% of the photo. Lucky you.

eddiecottington Sod it, I'm going to go scroll free for September too, you got me right in the feels Kate, as you always do ❤ lets do this thing sista ✌

cricket1205 I took the social media challenge at the beginning of this year. No Facebook, no Instagram, no Strava...no stress! It was so peaceful!
