Social media can do a lot of damage.
It can increase depression and anxiety. It can perpetuate loneliness and social disconnection. It can increase your risk for disordered eating and difficulties with body image. Social media is linked to increases in impulsiveness and inattention. And, it can also be a massive source of divisiveness and the spreading of misinformation.
But… what if you were able to turn your social media feed into a source of joy?
When you selectively curate your feed, and when you are mindful with the way you engage with social media, you’re able to turn it into a powerful tool:
- to increase laughter
- for improved mental health and emotional wellbeing
- for increased confidence and self-worth
- for connection and support, and
- for goal achievement
