Here’s How to Escape Social Media Stress in Just 4 Minutes a Day

Corrina Allen
Dec 20, 2017

Think about all the convenient, time-saving, and fun things you can do on your phone: Shop for stuff, share and edit photos, order dinner, get instant answers to the strange questions that pop into your head at 3am, and umm… phone people. But all that access at our fingertips isn’t all good all the time. On average, we spend 20 percent (!!!) of our day on our phones. It’s a lot, but considering all the stuff our phones allow us to get done, it’s not that terrible. What is a bit scary though, is the possibility of 24/7 exposure to social media trolls. Our reliance on our phones might make the kinds of negativity and/or harassment experienced on these platforms a) unavoidable, and b) really invasive. How do you get a break from social media stress when you’re taking it with you everywhere you go?

Companies like Twitter and Facebook say they’re doing everything they can to combat harassment from the trolls that lurk their platforms, but progress is slow, while posting a hateful tweet takes seconds. And it only gets worse when you take into account how disturbing the 24-hour news cycle has been this year.

“Many of us are tech addicts,” says Toronto Occupational Therapist, Yoga Studio director, and meditation teacher Ruby Knafo. “When we take a break from our devices we begin to notice the impulse to reach for the phone or computer and consume media out of habit, or as a means to distract ourselves from whatever else is going on in the moment. This is mindlessness in action — the opposite of mindfulness. Our habitual over-consumption of online news and social media is doubly harmful when the subject matter is upsetting. Our brains are hardwired to focus on what is negative and too much bad news can lead to an increase in stress, feelings of anxiety and depression, and a bleak worldview.”

So how do you cope mental-health-wise when there seem to be no more mental safe spaces? “It can be helpful to take some intentional time away from social media or technology,” says Knafo, “For example, have a designated time every day where you put your phone in a drawer for an hour — like when you get home from work or before bed. Becoming aware of that impulse or habit is really informative, and is a first step to curbing overconsumption.”

Developing a meditation practice is another way to protect your sanity when you find yourself in that “I just can’t even” state of mind. It’s not nearly as difficult or time-consuming as you might think and the benefits are for real. “It’s a common misconception that you need to be able to meditate for at least 10 or 20 minutes to see any benefit,” Knafo told us. “In fact, just a few minutes a day is a great place to start and can have a significant positive impact on your life.

“I generally recommend that you set the bar very low for the first two weeks so that it feels attainable. For example, setting a timer for four minutes. It’s also helpful to pair meditation with another activity, like ‘After I brush my teeth in the morning, I will sit and meditate for four minutes.’ The most important factor is consistency. It’s better to practice for four minutes a day for one week, then to go to a one-hour class every weekend. Over time, four minutes will seem easy and you can begin to add on: six minutes, or 10, or 15. You may suddenly begin to see other opportunities to practice as well, like when you’re on the subway, or waiting in line at a store.”

Okay, that sounds easy enough to work into most schedules but, um, how exactly does one meditate? Does it involve sitting in a circle of lit candles at a secluded mountain ashram with your legs twisted into pretzels and chanting… or no? Because that is not a thing most of us would or could do on public transportation.

Luckily, there are different styles of meditation, many of which can be done anywhere, at almost any time, and completely inside your own head. Says Knafo: “Lovingkindness meditation is a common meditative practice that helps soothe the heart in stressful times. It’s a practice of cultivating goodwill toward ourselves and others, and can change our inner relationship with those we perceive as challenging or difficult.

“In this practice we silently repeat phrases of kindness and goodwill such as ‘May I be happy, May I be healthy, May I be safe, May I be at ease.’ To begin you might offer these phrases to yourself, and then move on to others (in the traditional order: a benefactor or teacher, a good friend, a stranger, a person who challenges us, and then all beings). It’s important not to practice this with any expectation of result, but to think of it as an experiment in cultivating compassion.”

Someone seriously smart and Greek (it was Socrates) once said, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” It takes compassion to view the world that way, but building up your ability to empathize can actually decrease your mental stress. Think of it this way: An internet troll’s power to hurt your basically disappears when you have empathy for that person and start to think about why they act so cruelly online — what’s happened (or is happening) in their life to make them lash out?

That said, it’s not always possible to empathize with everyone all the time. The next best thing is to use meditation to increase mindfulness, a practice that helps to quiet the stressful stuff coming at us via Twitter or Facebook and prioritize the real, concrete areas in our lives where we can make a change for the better.

“Meditation helps us to become more aware of what is going on when we feel overwhelmed — the various thoughts, emotions, judgments, and physical sensations that arise,” Knafo says. “When we’re not aware, stress can feel like a crushing weight, but with mindfulness we can begin to see the different components of what’s creating this felt sense we call ‘stress’, and then we get a clearer idea of what is needed in that moment. In short, mindfulness helps us to see and accept what we cannot change, and to identify more clearly the areas that we DO have control over so that we can take action.”

Your Solar Eclipse In Aries Horoscope Is Here — & Brings "Bold" New Beginnings For These Signs

Get ready, starlights! It’s time to turn over a new leaf. Cosmically, the past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but we're finally stepping off March’s cosmic rollercoaster — hang in there!

The Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 at 6:57 am EST marks the beginning of a new era filled with ambition and optimism. As land-locked as you may have felt these last few weeks, this lunation will stir up your confidence, fueling your drive to push forward. It is best to analyze and not go through your goals just yet. April 2025 is the month to begin setting intentions — wait for it. Any new ideas that surface now are worth noting — this eclipse initiates a new cycle worth considering these next six months. To learn more about what the cosmos has in store for you during this last solar eclipse in Aries, read on for your sun, moon, and rising sign's horoscope!

Scroll to see your zodiac sign's horoscope for the Solar Eclipse in Aries...

Daria Ponomareva

Solar Eclipses generally send out chaotic, unpredictable energy, making it an unstable time for setting intentions or calling things in. Instead, focus on reflection and evaluating your current processes. The best way to work with this energy is by observing what needs to shift, releasing attachments to outdated ambitions, and allowing space for what is to come.

To honor this eclipse, try a candle meditation, but remember that this is not for manifesting. Light a red or gold candle as a symbolic act of making peace with the past while igniting the inner fire that will propel you forward. As you focus on the flame, visualize shedding the weight of old cycles, embracing personal growth, and building clarity on what lies ahead. This practice will align you with the upcoming wave of ambition without the risk of rushing into impulsive decisions.

Jovan Vasiljević

This eclipse also signals a revelation period. Over the next six months, new information regarding your goals, ambitions, and direction will surface. Keep a journal or document what percolates your consciousness, and revisit it in late September 2025. What emerges now is worth holding onto, as it will embed in your subconscious, subtly guiding your success.

The most notable moment during this eclipse is its supportive sextile with Pluto, which provides an extra boost for transformation and openness to change. However, with Mercury retrograde in play, careful planning is essential. While this energy calls for forward movement, the retrograde influence urges you to be mindful of old habits or outdated goals that could resurface. Conscious awareness, focused determination, and attention to detail will ensure success.

Which signs will experience growth and opportunity during the Solar Eclipse?

Lara Jameson

The signs most impacted are Aries, Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer, as well as those with placements between 4-14 degrees in any sign.

How The Solar Eclipse Will Impact Each Sign:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

This solar eclipse marks a profound personal reset. A fresh start in your identity, goals, and self-expression is unfolding, guiding you toward newfound confidence. You are stepping into a bolder version of yourself—ready to take charge and embrace new beginnings. Over the next six months, expect a transformation in presenting yourself to the world and pursuing your dreams.

Brit + Co

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This eclipse activates your inner world, signaling a rebirth in your spiritual journey. Pay attention to intuitive nudges and hidden insights that surface now. A deep sense of renewal is emerging, but before leaping into action, allow yourself space to rest, reflect, and integrate new wisdom.

Brit + Co

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

New beginnings in your social life and aspirations take center stage. A shift in friendships, networking opportunities, or collaborations could set the stage for long-term success. Whether stepping into a new community or powering up your future goals, trust the process and let things unfold organically.

Brit + Co

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Your career and public life are under the spotlight. This eclipse could bring a fresh opportunity, a shift in professional direction, or a newfound sense of purpose. However, with Mercury retrograde in motion, be patient when signing contracts or making long-term commitments — clarity will come soon.

Brit + Co

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

A fresh start in education, travel, or personal beliefs is within reach. You may feel the pull toward expanding your horizons, whether through a new study, an international opportunity, or a personal philosophy shift. This is an exciting time, but let ideas marinate before launching something new.

Brit + Co

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Shared resources, emotional depth, and financial matters are in focus. This eclipse encourages transformation in navigating intimacy, investments, or joint ventures. Be mindful of financial decisions or contracts during Mercury retrograde, ensuring everything aligns with your long-term security.

Brit + Co

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

A significant relationship cycle is beginning. Whether in love or business, new connections are forming, and existing relationships are evolving. However, with Mercury still retrograde, give things time to unfold before making long-term commitments—what you truly desire will become clearer in the coming months.

Brit + Co

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

A fresh start in work, wellness, and daily habits is on the horizon. Whether it's a new job, a refined health routine, or a shift in priorities, this eclipse invites you to take charge of your daily life. Allow space for adjustments, as the retrograde influence suggests fine-tuning before fully committing.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

Creativity, romance, and self-expression are taking center stage. This eclipse signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter in love or personal projects. Since Mercury retrograde is in motion, avoid rushing into new endeavors—let inspiration flow naturally before making major leaps.

Brit + Co

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

A fresh start in home life, emotional well-being, or family matters is emerging. Whether it’s a relocation, a new family dynamic, or a deeper emotional reset, this eclipse brings clarity to your personal foundations. Take your time before making major household decisions, as Mercury retrograde asks for careful planning.

Brit + Co

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Your confidence in communication is growing, and this eclipse opens new doors for sharing your voice. A new project, writing endeavor, or community connection may emerge, but with Mercury retrograde still in motion, be mindful of timing. Gather your thoughts and refine your message before making big announcements.

Brit + Co

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

This eclipse elevates your self-worth, finances, and overall security. A fresh start in money matters and personal value systems is in the works. However, with Mercury retrograde in the mix, avoid impulsive investments or major purchases—wait for more clarity before making financial commitments.

Approach This Solar Eclipse With Awareness

This Solar Eclipse marks a cosmic reset, offering the chance to understand your core priorities, ambition, transformation, and new possibilities. Instead of manifesting, focus on reflection, releasing the past, and preparing for what’s next.

New insights will emerge in the coming months, shedding light on your goals' direction. Check in with your journal or reflect on what has been stirring in your consciousness now, then revisit it in late September 2025. By then, the pieces of the puzzle will be clearer, and your subconscious will have already laid the foundation for success.
