Managing Comparison on Social Media

When using social media, it's natural to compare yourself to others. To mitigate this, set an intention before using social media, reminding yourself that what you see is not the whole truth. Take a pause to bring yourself into the present moment and be aware of how you're feeling while scrolling. If you notice comparison or judgment, try putting down your phone for a moment and see how that feels.
