After experiencing anxiety from constant negative news, the author decided to change their social media feeds by engaging with uplifting content. This shift demonstrated the significant impact of algorithms on our emotional well-being. The piece underscores the importance of being mindful about what we consume online, as our choices not only reflect our interests but also shape our feelings and perceptions. By consciously choosing positive content, we can foster a more optimistic outlook on life and counteract the effects of negativity.
What we feed our brains matters. Not just online, but everywhere. If we want to change how we feel and think, the first place to start is often what-and who-we're paying attention to.
The more we interact with certain types of content, the less likely we are to encounter alternative perspectives or emotional tones.
