Social media is not bad, you are

I get it, social media can be addictive, but I guess you already know who the addict is… it’s you.

PLAY TO LISTEN

The challenge with technology nowadays is the easy access that we have to it, and how engaging it is becoming getting our brains high in dopamine. And the pressing thing, is that it will only getter better, sorry, should have said worse?

The truth is, social media is not bad, we are just really bad at using it.

We are bad at self-control, bad at choosing what is good for us, and bad at loving ourselves and others.

Because social media can make us feel 100 different ways in the lapse of an hour, we should be more careful with how we use it.

Imagine you had some friends, that when you meet them they are pulling your clothes, insulting you, then being loving and cooking you a meal, then they dump a bucket of water over your head, the next minute they are singing and playing an electric guitar symphony, and finally just because they slap you in the face! Haha that would be insane, kinda wonderful, kinda horrible, but surely exhausting.

We must get better at taking care of ourselves, our time, and whom we give access to our attention.

What are your thoughts?

Has social media made you feel bad recently, or have you made yourself feel bad on your own?
