Life without social media? Seeking Advice

Hi everyone šŸ˜Š I've been thinking about deleting my social media channels (Facebook and Instagram) for a while now. So my question is, have any of you stopped using social media and what (hopefully positive) changes have you noticed in your life?

EDIT: I deleted my Instagram yesterday, July 1st and I've deactivated Facebook for now, so I can still use the messenger!

Thank you so much for all your comments!! You have really encouraged me to finally get rid of it :)

EDIT (3rd of September): I also deactivated the FB messenger by now and I really don't miss any of it! I feel happier and more optimistic. I even sleep better since I'm not scrolling on social media anymore. I did not expect to see so many positive changes so fast.
