We humans are social animals . We are build in such a way that we can feel what other is feeling and the feature is known as empathy . From earlier periods humans started communicating in ancient period they used sign language then they made sounds and kept on upgrading .

Being social is serving your connectivity with others but the Apps which are called as 'social apps' are they really making us social ?

• Discovering something which is good for you like reading , dancing , painting , singing .

• Uninstall it for a few days and realise how good it feels to take a break from it . It may look hard for the 1st day but once you get to know something about yourself , you would love it .

• Do yoga , zumba , gym sessions or something which acquires your physical ability .

• Try not to look at your social accounts just after you wake up , it may dilute your morning consciousness of starting a good day .
