On Saturday, Jan. 19, 39-year-old model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen shared an idea for curbing social media use in our daily lives through a series of videos on her Instagram Stories. Filmed from her bed, she said, “I personally think that one day there will be the most incredible rule. I think the government, or some kind of ethics committee — somebody — should shut off social media between 6 p.m and 6 a.m. Leave it all up. Everyone gets to do anything they want, but only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shut it off. Done.”
She then reassured her younger fans that life was great before social media. “Guys, life was great. Life was awesome before this,” she said. “I know it’s hard to see it now. But it’s doable. It’s very doable. This doesn’t have to be our lives. And I say this for myself as well because — obviously — I’m on here [social media] right now doing this. But it doesn’t have to define us or be our whole lives.”
