The surgeon general recommends that kids don’t consume “social” media, because it’s bad for them, especially with undeveloped brains. It’s not that great for adults either, though we use it a lot.

July is Social Wellness month (which I’m sure you have circled in red on your calendar.) I don’t know about you, but I could always be well-er. I’m not an expert on social wellness, but I do know a few things not to do.

We all need social interaction because it’s a basic human need just like water, food, and sleep are. It may not be as obvious because a lack of social interaction won’t kill you or cause physical changes like the other three do, but it will harm your brain. Getting enough socialization also makes for a productive day.

Shouldn’t spending more time on social media make you more productive too, then?
