The world in the 21st century revolves around mobile phones. From shopping and entertainment to education, smartphones have broken all barriers, providing every service on one tap. Many researchers, however, believe that increased screen time and social media use have an impact on mental health. So, the ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger is up for a social detox, as she quit social media for a month.

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger married in 1986 and became parents to four children before parting ways in 2011. However, the duo comes together to celebrate family milestones and festivities. A couple of days after Shriver posted her withdrawal from social media, Arnie spoke in detail about reduced screen time in his newsletter.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver often lead their lives by setting examples. Despite getting separated after the news of Schwarzenegger’s affair broke out, Shriver and Arnie maintained cordial bonds with each other.

While the 76-year-old continues to grow his fitness tribe with his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, his ex-wife is progressing in her spiritual life. The Kennedy princess, who is active on Twitter, posted on July 31st that she would be inactive on social media for some “spiritual maintenance.“

“Take the time you need to reconnect with all that is yours. That’s what I’ll be doing this month. Your world will thank you. Our world will thank you,” Shriver wrote in her post. She also declared that she would be back on the channel in September. A couple of days after Shriver’s post was public, the bodybuilding legend discussed in detail the effects of reduced screen time in his newsletter edition, “Let’s all detox”.
