It’s Not You. It’s Your Feed. (Day 1 of the Mental Health Challenge)

Sometimes we wake up already tired. Not just sleepy-tired—soul-tired.
And we grab our phones, start scrolling, and bam… now we’re tired and irritated.

Someone’s posting their perfect morning smoothie.
Someone else just bought their dream house.
And there you are, in your robe, coffee in hand, wondering, “Am I doing anything right?”

Let me tell you something right now:
It’s not you. It’s your feed.

Day 1 of our Fab at Fifty Plus Mental Health Challenge is simple but powerful:
Unfollow 5 accounts that mess with your peace.

Yes, I said it.
If it makes you feel small, unworthy, anxious, or just plain blah—it needs to go.
You don’t need to explain it. You don’t need to overthink it.
You have full permission to protect your peace.

Here’s the truth no one talks about:
Mental health isn’t just about therapy and medication.
It’s about what you consume—what you watch, what you listen to, who you follow.
You wouldn’t let someone stand in your living room and insult you every day, right?
So why let them sit in your phone and do the same?

At our age, peace is not a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

So today, go through your feed like you’re cleaning out your closet.
Ask yourself:

• Does this account inspire me or drain me?

• Does it make me feel seen or make me question myself?

• Does this still align with who I’m becoming?

If the answer’s no… unfollow. Block. Mute. Release.
Whatever you need to do.

Because you’re not too sensitive.
You’re just finally paying attention to what hurts—and what heals.

Try this:
After you unfollow those 5 accounts, follow 3 new ones that lift you up.
Could be pages with affirmations, midlife humor, gentle motivation, or just people who feel like sunshine.

Let’s start this month by choosing us.
Choosing softness.
Choosing boundaries.
Choosing the energy we want to wake up to.
