How to do it
Think of the one account or feed that reliably leaves you comparing yourself unfavourably. Mute or unfollow it now, not later. You don't need to explain yourself or announce it.
What the evidence says
Comparing yourself to others online is linked in the wider research to lower mood and self esteem, particularly around appearance and lifestyle content, and the effect is strongest for the specific accounts that trigger that comparison rather than social media in general. Removing one source is a small, concrete way to act on that finding.
