Safely using social media

Using social media comes with mental health risks, but that doesn't mean it should be completely avoided. Experts recommend using these networking websites in moderation.

  • Set a timer for using social media or install an app that tracks how long you’ve spent on a networking site.
  • Real world activities that help you focus on your immediate surroundings and circumstances.
  • Read a book
  • watch a movie
  • go for a stoll
  • play a game
  • bake some bread

it's so easy to get lost for hours on social media, make the time to enjoy life.
