3 Ways to Create Healthier Internet Boundaries
"
#1. If you are feeling blue, don’t look at your social media
#2. Internet use and loneliness can combine to form a vicious cycle
All too often we find ourselves resorting to the internet to replace our need for social interaction. It's easier than going out and meeting people. But recent research, published in Frontiers in Psychology, suggests that this is a futile attempt at increasing social interaction and, in most cases, only leads to a vicious cycle of loneliness. Problematic internet use can be characterized by poor emotional regulation and also a decreased ability to respond flexibly to life’s challenges.

Exactly! This article is very important, especially in the modern era of social media.

@comfortableNight4463 This post is very helpful as many people find it hard to set boundaries about the time they spend online.
It's indeed important to set the phone aside and spend quality time with friends and family when that's possible.
When feeling unmotivated or sad it's crucial to spend some time on self-care and mindfulness instead of browsing on the internet and trigger these feelings even more.
Many things presented online are just false information.
Thank you for the great post!
@calmDew1576 Well said! Thanks for sharing!
