Thank you kindly for joining with other Social Icons to help families step away from social media once a month on REAL Day™. Please take just a moment and invite your community to join you in going social media silent on the first day of the month to Do Something Real™.

It’s simple, but the benefits are real—boosting the happiness, well-being, and mental health of your community while strengthening your bond with them at the same time.

 

Here’s What You Do:

​

1.  Inform Your Community. Tell them you are going social media silent on the first day of the month and won’t be posting, but will be back the next day.

​​

2.  Invite Them to Participate. Everybody stays off YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, WhatsApp—all social media.

3.  Do Something REAL™ Together. Pick an activity that suits your community, and can be done wherever they live: Recreation, Nature, Music, Sports, Exercise, Hobbies, Arts, Dance, Self-care, Reading, Play, Volunteering.

4.  Limit Smartphone Use. Only calls, texts, email, camera, non-social media apps.

5.  Take Photos/Videos to Post Next Day. You and your community can share the fun and how it felt taking time off social media that day.

6.  Ask Your Community to Join the Cause. Hopefully they will follow you in support of the non-profit REAL Day and share in the mission. Please invite them to help others feel better and thrive... by making a small $10 or other Donation.

And follow joinrealday on Instagram to see ongoing REAL Day posts that you can share. We look forward to hearing all about your REAL Day plans, and the stories of your community’s activities!

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, or for assistance. 

With gratitude,

The REAL Day Team​​​
