🤍 Character & conduct between spouses · #374

Every time I browse social media I feel less grateful. Should I cut down?

If a habit keeps stealing your gratitude, cutting it down is guarding your heart, not running away. Notice how you feel after browsing; if it often leaves you envious or feeling you lack something, that is a sign to set a limit. Set specific, short times, and keep your phone away when you are with family or before sleep. Follow accounts that bring benefit and knowledge, and unfollow those that sow a sense of lack. Replace that time with worship, conversation or rest. Remember, other people's posts are not the measure of your life. A heart that compares less finds gratitude more easily. See mental health.
