Social media is a great platform to connect and be inspired. However, disconnecting and putting some focus and energy back into the real world, instead of the virtual version, can provide benefits to our health that you may not even realise. Social media ‘blackouts’ shouldn’t be reserved purely for celebrities like TayTay, as Life Coach
We all have the opportunity to create our own reality and social media is a great way to do it. Being totally connected and engaged is possible with the many social media platforms available today such as Facebook, Instagram, Linked In and Pinterest. We can become a “mini celebrity” overnight or build a business empire. In fact, Richard Branson once said, "If you're an entrepreneur and you don't have a social media presence, your company is at a competitive disadvantage."
While he speaks the truth, social media can also be intimidating - it has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety, depression, narcissism and decreased social skills; all things we don’t need! So, let's have a look at two worlds that display social media differently and then you can decide if you’d like to alter your approach.
Reality one
With the exciting world of technology and powerful handheld devices, your world is at your fingertips and I am sure you may have experienced one of the many advantages of social media:
Finding romance
Seeking a new job
Locating assistance
Getting and giving product and service referrals
Receiving support from like-minded individuals
Making or receiving career or personal advice
Sharing political beliefs
Accessing news in real time
I am sure you would agree that you feel total accessibility; you have an excellent ability to make choices, connect with like minded people and in fact you may feel “limitless”.
