使用社交媒体激发您的灵感(不要让您失望)

exc-5b34df6c352f5303fcef9f1c

几个月前,我经历了一段额外的压力 - 我旅行很多,不是sleepingwell, exercising less than usual, and missing my beloveds. On the road, I found myself turning to social media as a form of stress relief.

但是,社交媒体并没有让我感觉更好,而是使我感到更糟。

Firstly, I was overwhelmed by the incredible amount of information I was taking in in a short period of time, and it made me feel panicky. (I caught myself at one point worrying that I needed to learn everything under the sun about cryptocurrencies — until I came to my senses and realized no, I don’t!) I was falling down informational rabbit holes left, right, and center — and emerging more frazzled than I was before I picked up my phone.

I also found that I was comparing myself to the people on my feed. This happens to a lot of us. We look compulsively at the curated images that others post online, and it makes us feel bad about ourselves. Why is everyone else so happy and content with their lives? Why doesn’t anything bad happen toanyone else?(公平地说,当我在地板上抽着眼泪和鼻涕时,我不会张贴自己的照片,所以我为什么要期望别人?!)

这些是社交媒体为我们设定的陷阱,而我们太多的人都为此而陷入困境。

但是,有一种有意识地使用社交媒体的方法,可以最大化积极因素并最大程度地减少负面因素。有些意图,我们可以创建一个社交媒体生态系统,该生态系统对我们而不是对我们有用。

Be Selective

清理社交媒体世界的最佳起点是减少您关注的人。在任何给定平台上跟随太多的人可能会令人不知所措 - 我认为这是更多的噪音,可以弄清楚这些好东西。跟随让您感到难过的人也不健康。记住,你是掌控之中您跟随的人,您可以自由地无情!

首先对您关注的人进行审核,并取消关注,与众不同的人,公司和媒体,使您感到难过。(如果是朋友或同事,您对删除感到尴尬,那么大多数平台都具有私人的脱离或静音功能,这使得这更容易)。

As you’re doing this, consider你的价值观。社交媒体似乎很容易,但实际上不是!它有助于经济力量和社会影响力。您是否在社交媒体上遵循的人,公司和原因是否与您的信念以及您想如何生活在世界上?如果不是,请告别。

At this point in my life, I refuse to follow, click, like, consume, or engage with anyone or anything that doesn’t align with我的价值观。这样做并不能为我的幸福做出贡献,也无助于创造我想要生活的世界。

您可能必须有意识地使用社交媒体来钟表您感到难过和使自己感觉良好的原因。这可能是一个持续的过程。例如,我在Instagram上关注几个时尚帐户。时尚对我来说是一个有趣的爱好,但有时我发现自己对此感到不舒服妇女的性客观化that’s present in the industry. So if an account makes me feel “icky” more than once, I click unfollow immediately.

有时,一旦看到我发现的帖子,我就会自动取消关注帐户进攻。Other times, I’ll say to myself, “Sometimes I don’t love what’s happening on this feed, but I’m going to check in on how I feel about their next few posts,” and then I take my time to decide whether I want to keep following them.

限制自己

In the name of reducing the noise, I also limit the number of people I follow and friend. This keeps me vigilant about the kinds of content I’m paying attention to. It also generates a manageable number of posts to digest and helps me to avoid information overload. Find the number that works for you and stick to it.

限制您遵循的帐户数量也有其他好处 - 它将迫使您决定是否真的需要看到老同事或大学室友的帖子,他们只认识一分钟,但他们的孩子和宠物都占据了您的饲料。

同样,你在限制平台的数量gage with can be helpful.Twitteris great for engaging with political issues,LinkedInis great for building professional relationships, andInstagramis great for connecting with people who share your interests and values. Which of these uses best serves you right now? Be intentional about where you’re putting your time and attention. (You may decide you don’t need to figure out Snapchat after all!)

Limiting the amount of time you spend on social media can also help to keep you in check. If you want to know exactly how much time you’re spending on social media, you can download an app that will track your daily and weekly screen time. You might be surprised at just how many hours a week you’re scrolling through Tweets!

Seek Out What Inspires You

如果您有兴趣,热情,爱好或您真正关心的原因,那么您有可能在社交媒体上找到无限的方法。不要只是让内容来找您 - 花一些时间积极寻找与您的价值观和利益联系在一起的帐户。

例如,我喜欢诗人鲁米(Rumi),每天都有很多帐户发布他的报价。有时,当我需要提升时,我会寻找它们。我也很喜欢看到它们弹出在我的饲料上,如果我没有积极地寻找它们,这可能不会发生。

Another powerful factor here is the algorithm. When you’re more deliberate about the kind of content you follow and engage with, a platform’s algorithm is likely to catch on to what you want to be seeing. This means you’ll be served up the kind of stuff you actually like more often. Essentially, what you click on, like, share, and comment on influences what you end up seeing when you log in.

这是我喜欢的主要原因Facebook- 该算法已经了解了我是一个棕色的女权主义者,他想打扰白人至上,因此我的饲料像社会正义集会一样。在这个平台上,我充满了我的意思,因为它向我展示了我内心深处的内容。

随着社交媒体将其更深入地融入我们的思想和生活的结构时,对我们每个人来说,学习健康的习惯对我们很重要。

但是不要忘记现实世界!有时候,您真正需要接您的是散步或打电话给朋友。请记住 - 您处于控制之中!
