Jameela Jamil is "thoughtful" about who she follows on social media.
The 'Good Place' actress puts a lot of care into the content she sees online and thinks it is important to "curate a timeline" which inspires, rather than makes one feel "terrible" about their lives.
Giving her self-care tips, she said: "Get rid of anything on your timeline that is making you feel bad about yourself. We have control over what we take in. We don’t have to click on that Explore button on Instagram. We can curate a timeline that makes us feel like we’re learning something or that inspires us, rather than feeling terrible about our lives, ourselves and our relationships. Being thoughtful about what we’re seeing is really important. I now follow activists, artists, amazing make-up artists, writers and comedians. I love following people like Daisy May Cooper – she brings me life. Munroe Bergdorf – I learn so much from her. I leave Instagram feeling a little bit smarter or better [following these women]."
And the 35-year-old actress has urged people to spend money on therapy or a holiday with friends, something that "nurtures" them, rather than on physical appearance fixes.
Speaking to Vogue.co.uk, she added: "Try to take the money that you spend on ‘fixing’ your appearance and put it towards a piggy bank for therapy, if that’s something you might have access to. We are never encouraged to work on the inside, only on the outside. We are told we will be happy once we reach this elusive beauty standard that will change in ten years time – we’re given a new look every decade - men aren’t. Put your money into therapy or a holiday with friends, or something that nurtures you."
