If you’ve been thinking about creating a happier, healthier IG feed (and let’s be real, you should be!), look no further than the advice shared by these young women in partnership with @dove. Sister activists Ella (15) and Amy (17) who co-founded @kidsagainstplastic say that, “Community is everything. Make sure the right people are around you online.” Therapist @katehogan_wellbeing agrees that creating meaningful connections and building communities online is essential, especially when there are limitations around seeing people in real life. “If you join a community that makes you feel inferior, guilty or insignificant then it’s not your community. There’s a theory that says we are the average of the five people we spend most time with, so, for example, if you’re hanging out with positive and open-minded people – you become more positive and open-minded too. Apply this to your social media and choose to surround yourself with people you find inspiring and uplifting.” ✨ Photography: @pppythrpe #dovexrefinery29

Here’s how to create an IG feed that makes you feel more joy! We turned to young women to share their advice in partnership with @dove 🫶 22-year-old activist Kim Mamhende’s sound advice (👇above) is all about taking action to create the feed you want, “Be proactive about protecting your own space and what you allow to get through to you.” Therapist @katehogan_wellbeing agrees, “Seek out real life activities that bring you joy as well as diversifying your feed. Social media can be a great way to explore a new hobby before immersing yourself in it in real life.” You could: 🔎 Search hashtags of things you’re into or would like to find out more about, whether it’s surfing, interior design or cats, and follow away! 👋🏽 Consider reaching out to people who are talking about your interests – tell them you love their posts as an opener – you may make some new friends in the process. 🤣Find accounts that simply make you laugh or bring you joy - there is a lot of heaviness in the world at the moment and it’s important for our wellbeing to get a balance with what we’re consuming online.
