Before we jump into June social media ideas, I want to acknowledge that MAY is Mental Health Awareness month. It's no secret that too much screen time is unhealthy. Multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy social media usage and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts.
Social media may promote negative experiences such as inadequacy about your life or appearance. I'll be the first to raise my hand and say I have felt this way before on social media.
It's crucial that you set boundaries to ensure a healthy relationship with socials.
Here are a few tips I try to follow:
Set a timer so you don't dead scroll for too long. You wanna know how many times I've watched the latest viral Lizzo dance?
Marie Kondo your feed - Mute or unfollow accounts that don't bring you joy.
Commit to meaningful engagement while on a platform. Interact with accounts that you truly admire over trying to coax people over to your account.
Commit to learning something new on social. I'm obsessed with Clean Tok and Food Tok, but I do try to learn something so that it's time somewhat well spent.
I'd love to hear some of your healthy social media habits! Email me back!
