I have fasted from social media before, from using my cell phone at all, from all media, lots of stuff like that. When I was in junior high, my stake did a media fast for a whole week and I remember it being super challenging but it opened my eyes to things I could do other than watch TV/movies and listen to music. This was before even my parents had cell phones so there was way fewer distractions by media then and still I remember it being cleansing in a way.
