We’re nearing the end of mental health awareness month. Never has there been a moment like the one we’re living through. And if your mental health has taken a hit, you are not alone. As one way to support yourself, I’d like to invite you to review the input you’re finding on social media.

Leaving this here as a reminder that unfollowing is a superpower.

Protect your mental health.
Please.

Questions to ponder about who you follow.👇

Am I being challenged to think in a new way? Am I learning, even if I’m uncomfortable?

Am I paying for a message or a service that I trust has been developed with my best interest in mind?

Am I being supported by following this human?

Do I feel empowered by this message?

Am I comparing my story to theirs in an unhelpful way?

Are these messages helping me to feel better about myself? Leaving me feeling worse?

If I DIDN’T see a person’s post or story, would I feel better?

Review your following list.
Unfollow accordingly.

Big love,
a
