3 hours on TikTok, 2 hours of mindless Twitter scrolling, followed by a deep dive into your exes' current partner's Instagram. Sounds familiar? We've all been there. In this episode, we dive into the world of social media and how to stay social media-active without losing your mind. According to recent studies, over 50% of people feel that social media has a negative impact on their mental health, and around 40% of people report feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed after spending time on social media platforms.

To combat the negative effects of social media, we talk about the importance of setting boundaries with ourselves. This means creating guidelines and rules on how we use social media, understanding the purpose of the content we're consuming, and trying to become more conscious in the process. We discuss how to create a healthier relationship with social media by spending time offline, unfollowing accounts that make us feel negative emotions, and focusing on cultivating meaningful relationships with people.
