Happy International Day of Happiness 😊☀️

The theme this year is 'Social media and Happiness'. This highlights the challenges for our overall wellbeing and also ways that tech can be used for good!

Our top tips to keep your happiness on social media:
👥 Remember it's okay to unfollow social media accounts that negatively impact your mental wellbeing
😁Instead follow positive accounts that inspire, educate and bring you joy
📱Take breaks - you can set daily limits for social media platforms

Remember that social media accounts tend to show 'highlights' rather than reality
