Let’s face it - social media gets a bad rap. We are bombarded all the time with notions such as “Social media is all fake”, “People waste too much time on social media”, and “Social media just makes people feel bad about themselves.” We’ve all heard this before, right? Well, I’m here to tell you- I sincerely disagree. Social media is NOT all bad.
Can it be overwhelming and toxic? Sure can. But so can other meant-to-be-positive things in our lives like family members, friends and coworkers. Are there fake, pretentious people on social media? Heck yes there are. But there’s also incredible, positive and inspiring people online. It’s all about who you CHOOSE to surround yourself with, and more importantly, who you choose to NOT surround yourself with. If your social media feeds are making you feel bad about yourself, then you are not following, friending or subscribing to the right group of people.
Personally, I have found such amazing resources through social media. YouTube is solely responsible for setting me on a path of personal growth and development last year and the reason I started this blog. Twitter has connected me to a diverse group of friends from all over the world who hang out together online and meet up at events all over the country. Daily Instagram posts from my favorite social media personalities encourage me everyday. My endless scrolls through Pinterest boards have inspired ideas for everything in my life- from my home, to my work, to my relationships and my health.
In the age of the Internet, we have EVERY opportunity readily available to us to learn, grow, develop, change and enhance what we do and who we are everyday. You just have to seek out, weed through and connect to the right humans.
Take a look at my list of favorite social media accounts for some awesome people I love to follow. And- (insert shameless plug here), make sure you are following me on Instagram and Facebook. I post inspirational and positive stuff there daily. : )
