A11: Setting social media time limits is critical for supporting our mental health. Can you take it one step further & identify "no social media" zones in your life to build balance? At the dinner table, bedroom, school? #PresenceOfMind
Q11: Lately, I've found myself scrolling social media for hours, but rather than feeling connected to people I feel bad about myself. Why is that, and can I change my behavior to feel better? #PresenceOfMind
