LONDON, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --  

• Over half of Brits suffer from low energy
• 14% feel social media is to blame - rising to 28% in young adults
• A quarter (26%) find the constant updates on Brexit a drain
• A fifth (19%) are brought down by distressing news stories, politics and current affairs
• Over three quarters (86%) say more positivity in their lives would benefit their health & motivation

Over two thirds of Brits feel "energy sapped" with 53% admitting they seriously need a boost^[I]. For most people the 'caustic combination' of the everyday slog (work, family, travel) coupled with lack of quality sleep, is the biggest cause of low energy levels.

The average Brit now scrolls through 300 ft of social media content every day (the equivalent to the height of the Statue of Liberty) and checks their phone 30 times^[ii] - and it's not always a positive experience.

More than a third of Generation Z have confessed to quitting social media as 41% said social media platforms make them feel anxious, sad or depressed.

Natural energy drink Purdey's has created a Positivity Check-Up tool to help people curate their social media experience into a more positive one - www.purdeys.com/positivity. The site includes a test, where you can check your positivity rating on social media, positivity tips for improving your score and suggestions of top 'positive' accounts to follow.

Lucy Sheridan, positivity expert & author says: "Whilst social media has a bad reputation for showing 'unrealistic' lives, there are plenty of amazing accounts that promote positive messages and share uplifting words of wisdom that can lift you up. Treat your social media experience like you would your offline life. Surround yourself with positivity. Follow accounts that make you feel great and unfollow those that bring you down."
