Take a social media break
Heard the saying “comparison is the thief of joy”? I often compare parts of my life to others’ after scrolling through apps like TikTok and Instagram. Social media can also subtly affect your mood by making you feel anxious and may even contribute to depression. Try turning your phone off completely or placing it in another room for one hour. Up for taking a longer break? Research shows that disconnecting from social media for one week improves well-being, depression, and anxiety.
