Camila Cabello just hopped on Instagram to explain to everyone…why she’s barely using Instagram. And the reason is pretty understandable: social media can be toxic, and when you’re a celebrity, it’s especially rough out there. In fact, Camila recently opened up about the body-shaming she’s experienced on Instagram in particular.
“Really wanted to send love to everyone on here—I don’t go on social media that much cause it’s not good for me, and I don’t know how to not be affected by what people say on here so I just don’t read it,” Camila said. “But I am totally aware that I can use this platform to help people even in small ways!”
She continued by sending a message to fans that might be struggling, recommending that they take five minutes out of the day to “just breathe.”
“I’ve been doing this lately and it’s helped me so much, i didn’t understand meditation before, or the concept of just noticing your breath, but I’ve been doing it the past few months and I can feel the quality of my life improving,” she explained. “I used to live so much in my head, constantly trapped in my overthinking and being in my head as opposed to the present moment—and lately just going back to my breath and focusing on it puts me back in my body and back in the present and helps me so much.”
She ended the note with “I think some tools are really life changing and help you know how to do that better, so I just thought i’d share something that’s really helped me; and hopefully it helps you guys!!!!”
LOVE THIS.
