Transforming My Instagram Experience: From Doomscrolling to Joyscrolling
December 8, 2024 - 15:42
Allison Kimsey found herself trapped in the endless cycle of doomscrolling on social media, particularly on Instagram. Overwhelmed by a constant stream of fitness posts that left her feeling inadequate, she recognized the need for change. Determined to reclaim her mental space, she embarked on a year-long journey to declutter her Instagram feed.
The process began with a thorough evaluation of her follow list. Kimsey meticulously unfollowed accounts that didn’t bring her joy or inspire her positively. Instead, she sought out content that resonated with her personal interests and values. She focused on following creators who promoted body positivity, mental health awareness, and authentic lifestyles.
As a result of her efforts, Kimsey transformed her Instagram experience from one of anxiety and comparison to a space filled with inspiration and happiness. Now, instead of dreading the app, she eagerly anticipates opening Instagram, where she can engage in what she calls "joyscrolling." This shift has not only improved her mood but has also fostered a healthier relationship with social media.
