Start by auditing your feed: mute or unfollow accounts that trigger negativity and follow people who inspire or inform. Set small limits — phone-free mornings or a 30-minute nightly cutoff — and replace passive scrolling with purposeful actions like messaging a friend or reading an article. These simple shifts turn social time into social value.
