Looking for a few ways to stop scrolling? Practice these 3 self-care social media tips!

0-01 Identify what you’ll consume. This includes who you’ll follow or unfollow or maybe even block. Choose what resonates with you and what you want to see on your daily feed.

  • What you see on a daily basis becomes part of who you are and how you think. 

Set a time when you’ll check-in on social media.  

  • Instead of picking up the phone automatically between meetings and scrolling – decide that you’ll use the phone during lunch only to scroll or after work or a time that fits for you
  • Schedule this in your planner if you have to (no judgement) : )

Set a timer for how long you want to consume social media 

  • Some social media apps have a reminder you can set in settings.
  • Make a commitment that when that timer comes up you’re off social.
