There are a few things you can do to cultivate a healthier relationship with social media and a healthier relationship with your body.
Tell the algorithms what you like
Social media algorithms send content your way when they think you’ll stare at it and engage with it long enough — so engage with content you like, not just “clickbait” that enrages you UFABET
You might find it helpful to search for positive content that promotes body acceptance, self-care, and inclusivity. Seeking out this content (and engaging with it) makes it more likely that similar content will fill your feed.
Likewise, it’s perfectly OK to “hide” or “block” content that makes you feel bad about your body and appearance. Feel free to unfollow people that make you feel inadequate — even if they don’t intend to.
Nip comparison in the bud
Remember that people usually post positive and exciting things on social media — in that way, it’s like a “highlight reel.”
While it’s tempting to compare your everyday life to someone’s social media, it’s important to remember that their highlight reel will leave out many day-to-day mundanities, negative experiences, and bad hair days.
When you feel tempted to compare your ordinary work day to your high school friends’ vacation Instagram story, remind yourself that you’re comparing apples to oranges.
Engaging in a gratitude practice may also be helpful — once you start counting your good fortune, you might gain a healthier perspective.
