We are so caught up with social media, always curious about other’s life be it our classmate, an old friend, or a celebrity. We lose focus on our goals and aspirations, always peeping into someone’s else doings and achievements.
Social media is a pedestal where people follow you as you voice out your opinions and life happiness. But does it matter to them? Do they care what you think about a particular topic or what is going on in your life? Just because you have posted a picture of yourself in a scenic location and people are liking it on social media, doesn’t mean they are interested in knowing about you. Don’t base your life on someone’s else likes and comments. If they write good about you, you feel happy but one bad comment can put you down.
Those people aren’t contributing and affecting your life in anyways. You see people showcasing the best version out there and inspiring people by their content, but we might never know deep inside they are suffering from depression. It’s just a facade we create, like the way we paint our homes with beautiful colors and renovate the old furniture with the modern style one. It is a rosy picture we paint to be more acceptable and loved in society.
Balance is what we need.
If you are an Entrepreneur promoting your products/services, schedule your day with some hours dedicated to social media. And some hours as social detox to think & reflect on your business strategy.
If you are an Employee searching for a job on LinkedIn or following your colleagues, schedule your day with some hours dedicated in connecting to employers. And some hours away from social media either working for the organization completely and remaining time relaxing with your loved ones.
If you are a Homemaker or College goer following your favourite chef or sportsman, schedule your day with an hour dedicated to following and taking up positive things from the athlete, leader, or superstar you feel inspired by. And some hours away from social distraction, spending time with family, reading and following your passion.
