Keep It Positive – Do You Know Downscrolling?

Recently I learned a new word ~ Downscrolling. It was used as a reference to negative or triggering content on line and on social media platforms. I loved the tips that this article gave, and thought I’d paraphrase a few for you and hope to give your day an upward swing. Staying positive is so needed in this unpredictable world. It’s so important because being in a negative place (including online and in your mind) can cause anxiety, numbness, stress, health issues and more.

• Follow feel-good content – fill your on-line content with light-hearted material including funny videos, nature photos, inspiration for and healthy living. Follow influencer’s that are in line with a positive vibe and encourage an enjoyable life by posting things like positive mental health tips, gardening, art, or other things you’re like-minded about.
• Unplug – Turn off notifications and take a break especially in the evening. It gives your nervous system a chance to relax.
• Practice self-care.
• Set boundaries with on-line and media content.
• Get outside and enjoy nature. Have your device for emergencies, but unplug for nature.
• Spend time and be present with family and friends.

So important. I’m wishing all a beautiful week. I hope you have an opportunity to do at least one, if not all of the things listed above.

Warmest wishes,
