Lately it feels like I’ve developed an allergy to Instagram. Every time I log on, I feel anxious, and my eyes hurt from even a minimal amount of scrolling. I’m seeing more and more people I follow announcing “mental health breaks” they’re taking from Instagram and social media altogether, which makes me wonder… is social media bad for your health? Or can you use platforms like Instagram Intentionally?
I wrote an article on Mindbodygreen.com about it, and offered some tips on how to use the platform without feeling terrible about yourself, or losing an entire afternoon to it. Head over there to read all about it, then tell me:
Are you feeling the same way? How do you use Instagram, or any social media, more intentionally?
