55 | Social Media Is The Thief Of Joy

Because, Why Not?

Have you ever heard the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy"? This is my feeling about social media today and many days. I am really feeling the negativity brought on by too much scrolling this week and today I'm talking through what creates that and what we can do about it. It's no secret that people use social media most of the time to share the highlight reels of their lives. This can lead us to comparing our own lives to others, even if what we are are inferring about them from what we are seeing is absolutely false. It is our job to consume it all consciously and carefully, understanding that so much of it is not real and is not serving us in any positive way. And, when our consumption leaves us feeling depleted, depressed, and less than, it is our job to take a break from it and hit the reset button by focusing on our own inherent worth and reminding ourselves that the validation we seek externally can already be found within us.
