Award-winning Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite has through her social media platform dropped some mental health tips for everyone, especially those on Instagram.
The divorced mother of one urged her followers to be cautious of how much time they spend scrolling through other people’s lives.
Adegbite added that the best way to avoid being depressed is to mute or unfollow accounts which might lead to that.
She wrote: Mental Health tip: If you have a tendency to feel envious, dissatisfied and depressed easily, be selective of the people you follow on your social media accounts. The content we digest on a daily basis plays a huge role in how we feel about our looks and what goes on in our minds. Instagram introduced the “mute” option for a reason. Use it if you are worried someone will notice you unfollowed them. “Follow” pages that inspire you or make you laugh. Also, be cautious of how much of your time you spend scrolling through other people’s lives. Your mental health is priority. Almost everything you will ever do or be, good or bad, starts in your mind.”
Recall that Damilola Adegbite had pleaded with couples of over five years to share the secrets of their marriages.
For Adegbite enough has been heard of failed marriages and the young ones need to be inspired by stories of successful marriages.
She made her pleas via her verified Instagram page where she wrote.”I don’t think we hear enough about happy marriages. Marriages that continue to pass the tests of time. All we hear about are the ones that didn’t work. Please if you have been happily married for at least 5 years and you see this message on your time line, please brag to me. Tell us what has kept you and your partner together this far. If you know any happily married couples (emphasis on HAPPILY), please tag them too. Tell us how you and your partner keep the flame burning. I met a couple who have been married for 9 years and it was as if I should join the union. They couldn’t keep their eyes and hands off each other! It was too sweet to watch! Please share your secrets!”
