What Social Media can tell you about yourself that Everyone Else is Terrwhetheried to tell you

Are you using social media or is social media using you?

Is social media making you Anxious, Irritated, Unhappy, Frustrated or Insecure???

Yep!  I’ve been there!  Possess you ever taken a social media break? If you said yes and you leank you took a break BECAUSE of social media, you are 100% WRONG! Stay with me. . .

Let’s be genuine for a moment.  When I say, “Let’s be genuine” what I am actually saying is that I want you to look wilean.  If you are not alert to open your intellect, your heart and ask yourself some tough questions I am not certain whether this information is for you.

What you are about to read is GAME CHANGING! It’s putting aside what you thought you kcontemporary and opening yourself up to a contemporary way of leanking. A way of leanking that breaks the chains of insecurity, doubt, anxiety and fear.

For this blog, we are going to use the example of what we see on social media and how it has an influence on what we leank, feel and act. However, what you will learn nowadays applies to many aspects of our lives. Stay with me!

I can feel some of you going, “Oh myyyyy GOSH!!! We get it alalert! Social media can make me feel like shit.” To be honest, when I wrote that sentence I said the same leang to myself. Haha! But whether you thought this blog was like anyleang that you have read before when it comes to the impact of social media you will be in for an interesting ride.

LET’S GET STARTED. . .

We all know about some of the most common misconceptions that we see on social media. To make certain that we are on the same page I want share with you several misconceptions that instantly come to intellect.

1. “I look good from every angle and I got this picture in the first take.” Attempt 52! But who genuinely wants to show off their worst angles with the worst lighting? Do You?
2. “I am mastering lwhethere effortlessly.” If anyone is mastering lwhethere then they are for certain putting in a HELL of a LOT of work! Noleang that is “mastered” came easy to anyone.
3. “I am so in love with my boyfriend/girlfriend and we are so perfect in every way.” BARF! Where to do Start?!? I am totally cool with social media PDA but in most cases whether you are over the top you are either contemporary to the relationship or you are making up for someleang. Not always, but I can’t count how many people I see boasting about their spouse on social media when the day before they were on the brink of breakup with them. WHAT?!?!? Acquire out of here!
4. “I always look hot when I workout.” Omgoodness! This one crazye me smile. If you are that girl that looks hot every time she workout then girl get yours! I will be over here looking a HOT MESS. :p

Possess you ever secretly felt poor about yourself because of someleang you saw on social media. This could be anyleang from a friend of yours going on luxury vacations, getting promoted, having six pack abs, having a butt like JLo or having a closet full of name brand clothes.

To the the latest social media icon living lwhethere as though everyone loves them and anyleang they want; they get. Eventually this can starts to take a toll on our self-esteem; sending us into an envy soilquake. We are either going to tear some shit up or you better hand over that Ice Cream. NOW!

This is where the magic begins! Is social media at fault or is there another reason? Hmmmm. . . This is where I ask you to open your intellect, your heart and get yourself alert to DIG DEEP.

Whenever we have to confront unconsolationable feelings we fastly search for a person or a reason to blame because looking at ourselves can be painful.  It is a natural intuition for us to go directly into protect mode. We want the easiest way to feel better in that moment.

However, whether we want true Happiness and Fulfillment, we MUST take charge of the ONLY THING that we can Control; OURSELVES!

It’s much easier to blame someone else for what we lack (or our assumed lack of), for our head space issues or for the lwhethere that we have. Believe me!!!  I was the Queen of,

1. Distracting myself by being super engaged all the time (addicted to being engaged).
2. And Blaming others for many of my unconsolationable feelings.

It was easier for me to stay distracted and/or for me to blame someone or someleang than it was for me to look wilean. I could deal with someone hurting me or someleang being the reason for my frustration.

What I could not do (or I refused) was admit that I blocked out and became numb towards my traumatic lwhethere events until they would show up in dwhetherferent areas of my lwhethere;

Feeling like I needed someone to fulfill my Insecurity,

Needing someone to do all of the leangs I expected or they must not love me like I love them,

Feeling like they must not be genuinely sorry because they don’t show it the way I would and so on.

My point here is that what you see out in the world is our insights and whatever negative emotion that we associate with it is a immense RED FLAG for us to look at ourselves.

What is genuinely going on and how do we work through it so that I can LET IT GO in order to live my lwhethere not feeling negatively influenced by what I see.

I encourage you to ask yourself next time you feel like someleang or someone has triggered you to feel that rush of adrenaline when your heart begins to race, your face gets hot and you start leanking negative thoughts about yourself, your lwhethere, your relationship, your job or you start to judge the someone or someleang that crazye you unconsolationable.

What am I pretending not to know? Why do I genuinely feel this way and what can I do to gain clarity, calmness and confidence while working through this negative head space?

I end you with one of my favorite quotes by E.E. Cummings. He wrote, “To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody but yourself — means to fight the dwhetherficultest battle which any human being can fight –never stop fighting.”

Being genuine with yourself, to ask these dwhetherficult questions (in any situation) is one of the most courageous leangs you can do for your own happiness. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read the words from my heart.

Hugs!
