Do you ever need a break from social media because of all the negativity that you get from it? Rants, societal issues, brags hidden as #blessed posts and many more. Not all of it is actually bad, people sometimes do need a space where they may release their thoughts and emotions. However, as someone who is consuming too much negative energy from colleagues, and even strangers, it may be quite exhausting sometimes which is why you might need to get away from the negativity at times and just have some time to yourself.

The good news is that life is good and there are other ways to get away from social media toxicity, without actually having to delete your account or deactivate. Here are a few ways to make your social media space an optimistic and positive one:

 Set boundaries

Follow uplifting social media accounts and spaces instead of people or friends that tend to be quite on the negative side. The more you engage with these uplifting social media accounts, the more positive your feed will become and you would not have to hide away from social media.

Another key factor is to set boundaries regarding how people may see or react to your posts.

Sometimes you just want to have a happy feed, with happy interactions. Whether it is removing that negative follower or family member that tends to be quite nosy or gives unsolicited advice, so be it. Set boundaries for your mental health.

You may still be connected to these people in real life, but your social media is somewhere you tend to be a lot on so make it a space where you may be safe, happy, and accepted.

Embrace these strategies to keep your spirits high and inspire others to do the same.
