Head of the full thing dropping on

Tuesday, here's Deney on why it pays to be mindful on social media and her number one tip on how to make sure you're surrounding yourself with good influences. As humans, like we were evolved to take in the feedback of our tribe, like of our community. It's how we function. It's how like, you know, you keep the tribe going and everyone's happy. So we internalized feedback. But we weren't evolved to take in the feedback from thousands of strangers all around the world on the other end of their phone. And that for me has been a really powerful thing to hold in my heart where I'm like, if you are using the internet, I think 99.9% of us are at the moment, like try to set those internal boundaries where you maybe don't take in the feedback or you're really careful with the

feedback, make sure that you like do a spring cleaning every six months of accounts you're following and make sure that they're actually making you feel good or feel better or educating or like bringing joy to your day, not leaving you feeling a little bit worse or a little bit angrier, a little bit harsher.
