Since rekindling her relationship, subsequently marrying, and moving to Canada with Justin Bieber, Hailey Baldwin has been thrust further into the spotlight. And it seems that the model has developed smart ways for dealing with unwanted, or negative, online attention.

Posting on her Instagram Stories this weekend, Baldwin wrote, "It's hard to focus on your well being and mental health when each time you open Instagram someone is tearing apart your job, or your relationship or essentially any of the things in your life that are positive." So her solution for avoiding online trolls and general negativity? "I take breaks from it," the model explained:

And even though "negativity screams so loud," Baldwin also mentioned the benefits of being on social media, such as to "stay in touch and interact with others."

She continued, "I just don't believe we're called to live a life where we're so easily caught up in strangers opinions on something they have NOTHING to do with... we need to express more love and encouragement to one another instead of consistently tearing people down and judging."

In conclusion, Baldwin said, "I won't let people make me feel like I'm doing something wrong by enjoying my life and being happy." Her words are an important reminder that although internet can be a dark place, a little kindness goes a long way.
