Adherence
Social media dependence during lockdown increases sedentary time and causes emotional detachment, although it can be used as a tool for fitness motivation.
Limit social media scrolling to prevent emotional detachment and excessive sedentary time. Use social media actively for fitness motivation (e.g., following trainers, watching workout videos) rather than passively consuming negative news or entertainment.

Social media has impacted my sitting schedule as I am just sitting for a long span of time... It has become my habit now... Social media is full of content which reveal crime stories... So I feel now-a-days emotionally detached to any relationship.
