Is your social feed making you feel inspired, connected, and informed? Is it making you feel envious, confused, and upset?

My social feed is usually overloaded with info and creativity but then we are human so once awhile there will be some blue. 😊

Fair enough that's the yin and yang of life :)

Feeling great about my social feed since my #deletefacebook the end of last year.

Ah yes, good move!

I feel great every day because i wake up.
i am healthy and i can walk and work.

i read my feed and i am happy with all kind of comments i get because someone spend his/her time to write something to me. it does not matter if it is a hello or a full comment it matters that he/she reads your post/comment and answer.

I am a member of seven77 family and everyday member in our family doing the best to raise both the steem awereness and price.

That's awesome! For this, it's more about the content you subscribe to rather than the responses you get on your content. As long as you're happy though, that's awesome

@scottcbusiness, No matter what it is, we have to follow our Passion everyday to come out of negative situations which born through specially from the Social Media Feed.

First of all we have to hold a mindset which is not getting the real value from the Social Media by that i means sometimes people try to just try to produce value from the Social Media but other aspects of life start shaking.

Most importantly, to deal with negativity we should pursue our passion on daily basis so that we can refresh and renew ourselves daily.

Have a great time ahead and stay blessed.

Agreed passion is key. But also a much easier way to remove negativity is to audit the people you follow and if they are bringing negativity in or positivity. I think following your passion will allow you to get through any negativity, but there is a lot we don't need to subject ourselves to.

That's true brother. Whom we follow in a way their influence stays with us and we have to analyse it's helping us or it's just giving toxic thoughts.

Have a pleasant time ahead.

Exactly! I fully agree :)

Thank you and enjoy your time ahead.

We should be the one controlling or influencing the social feeds and not that social feeds are controlling us by THINKING FIRST BEFORE POSTING any information that we are about to feed to the minds of others.

We should take responsibility on whatever statements we make in social media.

Agreed as well as those who opt to receive that content, responsibility is big on both ends

I think one should have multiple social feeds so they can balance out all their emotional complexities.

Yeah not a bad way to do it. Would be nice if we could have multiple feeds like a "work feed", "personal", etc.

Great tips to consider and use for positive growth. I do select my follows based on positive content. I follow accounts which create motivating content and who shares content which promotes uplifting content from others. I enjoy writers who research well and who encourage others with comments. As accounts grow you can get overwhelmed or intimidated by critics, but by engaging with insightful feedback goes a long way in building up social interactions with others. It's easy to learn about others by reading multiple comments, sometimes more than what they share personally. I like your honest assessment and attitude.

Thanks so much! I think it's super important in order to be positive and stay positive by surrounding yourself with more positivity :)

I appreciate your well crafted presentation, too!

If I always post negative about my life what happened to me social well being

You'll be using negativity as a means for social interaction and normalizing it which I would say could be unhealthy. Depends how you express it. Negative feelings can be turned into positive things to help others via expression through music, art, or many other ways

social networks are present more and more in our daily life, much more than consuming the appearance of a perfect life that is not real; If there is no information about the information that there is not. I do not think there is a big impact on your emotional health

Well it's not just that. I think surrounding yourself with unnecessary negativity which isn't the same as being around opposing views isn't good for you

I think it is necessary; in all aspects you have to surround yourself with the people and things that make you a better being; including your thoughts. you attract what you are

Posted using Partiko Android

Totally agree. A lot of people only apply this to like the friends they hang out with and such, but it's important to consider for our social lives online too :)

Actually I am not a much socialized person like others but I think If someone use social media networks with some reason then it is a very awesome place for him because every kind of community we can find on the platform. There are Good and bad both are available and the luckiest thing is we can choose what we want not the network.

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah exactly, that's why it's good to take time to audit it

All great advice on how to manage expectations of yourself against the so called benchmark
That bit about being upset with the content .... hahaha.... I was there for a bit.... but now I just do my thing... I can't remember what made me snap out of the comparisons... but part of it is definitely asking myself why I am doing this and staying focused on what makes me truly happy and knowing that everyone's journey is different

To the question of do my feeds upset me... there are some that do, but I don't dwell on it too much for every one that upsets me, there are 20 that inspire me or make me happy (that's an exaggeration to make a point... I don't spend that much time on Social Media ;p)

Here by @dcontest

Glad you agree and nice to know others share the same experience. I think as long as the majority of your feed is good, then you're probably good to go. Like you, I don't browse much

Great advice @scottcbusiness, we all need to look over who we follow every now and then.

If someone follows me I usually check out who they are and if they seem somewhat ok I follow them back, then when I go through my feed I just clear out anyone that turns out I don't like what they do or just not interested in it.

Thanks for a great video, and have an awesome week ahead.

Agreed! Thanks for the thanks and I hope you have an awesome week as well :)

👍😎

Honestly, I came here only for the dcontest prize but then I saw the video. Oh man!!!! I am flattered. Great tips. I am not very active in social media. Except twitter to promote Steem. But I can use your tips for other things in life. Recently when my 10th results got out, I was sad that a girl who used to score way lesser than me had scored more than me in the boards.

Now after watching your video, I have got a way to think this incident in a different way. And now I am going to put more effort towards my studies. Love ya man.

Yeah what is important that we compare ourselves to our previous self and as long as you are working hard and trying your best, that's what really matters. We can be inspired by others too and even ask them for help so that we can all win together! Keeping keeping on :)
