Social Media and Mental Health

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

How to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You

If you find yourself looking over your shoulder, self-conscious, or fretful about how your actions will look to others, here’s some help to stop worrying.

The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health

‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. How can you change your habits?

A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think

We spend a little too much time worrying about how we must appear in the minds of others. However, the poignant, useful truth is that almost everyone doesn’t care at all about who we are, what we’re doing and how we’ve messed up.

You are not alone if you think that financial matters are not getting simpler through the years, with crypto currencies to robo-advisors.

I’m confident James will be your biggest asset.
