Inspiration:
During the pandemic I noticed how toxic my relationship became with IG. I was addicted to the empty instant gratifications the app gave me and it controlled my mood and happiness. I don't ever want to get to that place with IG nor any other social media and so I created this mental health checklist. In the beginning, this checklist should be viewed every time before entering a social media app. I like to think of it as a mantra so to speak. As you become more self aware, you can view this checklist every once in a while.
Process:
I created a list and was feeling stuck. I knew I wanted to add more but I also wanted to be inclusive of what other people would find valuable. Sooooo, I opened an IG story poll and took stock of the ideas from my community. I pooled together all the comments I gathered, along with my original ones, and consolidated them into this piece.
