Today is the International Day of Happiness And this year’s theme is ‘Social Media and Happiness’, highlighting the potential challenges for our wellbeing as well as ways we can all use tech for good.
Social media is a tool; it can connect us and bring us together, but it can also steal our attention and exploit outrage and division.
There’s no one “right” way to use social media, but small, thoughtful choices about how we use it and how we treat each other online can make a real difference.
We can all build a healthier, happier relationship with social media:
🧘♀️ Choose
Be mindful of if, when and how much you are on social media
🤗 Connect
Don’t let scrolling be a substitute for real connection
🔍 Curate
Personalise your experience to support your wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.
We have the greatest impact when we act collectively to change things, because our actions ripple out to those around us.
When we choose to focus on connection and wellbeing, we help to build a happier, kinder world, online and offline.
