3 Ways to Build Mental Well-Being in 2021
Make a resolution to look after your mental health this year.
We collectively breathed a sigh of relief as 2020 ended.
Even though things haven’t gone back to normal yet, there is still a sense of satisfaction in leaving 2020 behind. The last year was rough, but one thing I learned from it was the importance of prioritizing my mental health. We all could use some peace of mind right now.
What’s the first rule of 2021? Yes, never talk about 2020. But, the second and most important rule is practicing mental well-being.
Social Media Detox.
I love the internet since it has memes. While social media can be fun and entertaining, it can still be toxic. Most of us have been the victim of mindless scrolling, and it’s about time we cut down our screen time. A study has shown that social media increases symptoms of depression and anxiety in young adults.
Excessive use of social media has a direct impact on your mental well-being. You end up being awake at 2 AM, asking yourself: Why haven’t I figured out things in life? Will I ever make it in life? They engineer it to be as habit-forming as crack cocaine. It makes you feel lonely, lost and messes with your head.
