Ever find yourself opening Instagram without meaning to—and then wondering how you got there? In this episode of Tuesdays With Teichberg, Rachel Teichberg shares why she decided to take a break from social media and the surprising calm and clarity that followed.

Rachel breaks down what’s really happening in our brains when we scroll (hello, dopamine overload and comparison fatigue) and why “mindless” scrolling isn’t actually relaxing. She offers clear signs you might need a reset and a doable, low-pressure plan:

• Delete the app (not your account) to remove temptation
• Start with just one day—then decide if you want more
• Tell your people so you don’t miss important updates
• Replace the habit with healthier options: a book on Kindle, a walk, play with the dog, journaling, music, a few deep breaths

Most importantly, this is about taking back control of your attention and time—without disappearing. Try a 24-hour break and see what you discover about yourself.
