I don't think a digital detox has to mean disappearing from the internet for weeks. For many people, social media is also related to work, communication, information, and business, so stopping completely may be unrealistic. What can be done is to reduce unnecessary use. For example, turn off unimportant notifications, set a certain time to open social media, and avoid the habit of picking up your cellphone every time you feel bored. Sometimes we open one application only briefly, but end up spending almost an hour because we keep moving from one content to the next.
The fear of missing out or FOMO also needs to be fought by realizing that it is impossible for us to know everything. There's always new news, new trends, new videos, and people doing something interesting. If we keep trying to keep up with everything, we won't have time to enjoy our own lives. I prefer to choose a few sources that are important rather than following hundreds of accounts that end up just filling my head. In my opinion, digital detox is not about hating social media, but giving control back to yourself. We can still be online when we need the internet, but we don't feel like we have to always be available and know everything that is going on.
