Users are thinking about it even when not using it. Their mood is changed when on it. They need to get more and more of it to get the same happy hit. They have fights about its use. And, when trying to quit, have withdrawal symptoms and often relapse.

Now, before you tune out: No, this is not a sermon on the evils of social media. Like most things, it’s not a black-and-white issue.
Case in point: After 9 months off social media, I’m dipping back in. Is it a relapse? A doomed-to-fail-test? Or an intentional re-engagement? I’d like to think it’s the latter – but I can’t be sure.

Tune in to discover how mental health expert Daria, Influencer Marketing Consultant Christo, and I are conquering six social media challenges to help you boost your creativity and mental health – practical tips included.
