Social media is surrounded by people and companies subconsciously telling you who you should be, how you should look, what you should buy and how you should think.
The truth is, it’s a double-edged sword. It without a doubt has its positives, but you can’t deny the negative. Social media companies are businesses first and foremost, looking to make a profit off you and your data.
They want you glued to your phone.
You must be extremely diligent and purposeful with your interactions with digital and social media.
Binging on digital media is NOT a wise time investment. The only opinions you should care about are from the people you know and trust
Constantly referencing social media keeps you in a semi distracted state and leads you to live a life in your head.
Studies have shown numerous times the link between depression, loneliness, anxiety, and social media.
As humans, we are hardwired with a fundamental need for connection. Social media plays on that core need. It’s great to connect and share with others, but many of us have become programmed to seek validation.
The more you seek validation, the more masters you serve. Socials mess around with the brain's dopamine levels and coax us to constantly interact in seek of empty “likes”. What has alike ever given you other than a dopamine spike?
