Facebook can be an excellent form of relaxation but it can also be a total time suck. Practice mindful social media use - be aware of how you're using sites like Facebook and why. Use the best tool for the job. Recognize what Facebook is good for -- social connection -- and what it's not good for. Facebook is a social news site. It's great for news about what your friends or even fav celeb are doing. Don't rely on it for serious news because what you read might well be fake. Go to legitimate news sources.
Keeping a social media journal, like a food or exercise log, for a couple of days will help you identify how you're using social media, when and, most importantly, how it makes you feel. Would you hang out with people who make you feel bad? Of course not. You don't have to do it on social media, either.
