Camila Cabello Explains Her Break From Social Media

If you're wondering why it is you've seen far less of pop star Camila Cabello recently on social media, you're not the only one.


The star took to Instagram over the weekend to explain to fans why she can barely be seen on the platform ahead of her efficiency while in the 2019 Video Music Awards. She explained that stepping away stemmed from exactly what you could have expected: the potential toxicity of staying on the 'Gram for also long.


"Really wanted to send love to each person 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 mention on here so I just don’t read it," she mentioned. However I am completely aware that I can use this platform to help people even in small ways!" Continuing while in her lengthy post, she advised fans who may be having trouble getting through every day to "take five minutes out of your day to just breathe." It's a good tip: staying considerate in stressful situations (and let's be straightforward, Instagram can be stressful).


"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, although I’ve been doing it the past few months and I can feel the good class of my life improving," she continued. "I used to live so much in my head, constantly trapped in my overthinking and being in my head as instead of 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 assists the me so much." So if you've been really missing Camila in your feed lately, don't worry – she's not gone forever, although it sounds like she's really thinking about wiser, healthier ways to approach the platform.


"I think some equipment 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 accommodates you guys!!!!" She concluded, reminding us that we don't have to silently struggle if Instagram, Twitter, or perhaps Facebook are part of daily toxicity we experience. Taking time away, to breathe, and to take in the world around you is routinely a valid response. Don't be afraid to pull away for a while. It's all going to be there any time as soon as you get back.
