All of which could not be further from the truth.
Our digital digestion is affecting our ability to focus on ourselves, our plans, resources and what is possible - the fall-out of which varies from a bit of procrastination to full on anxiety.
So how do we arrest this sliding feeling and take back control of our feeds to obliterate compare and despair?
Your awareness is everything - notice what you notice. The fact you are feeling jealous or insecure about what you see on your feed is a sign that you are not in alignment with where you are right now. The emotional trigger holds invaluable insight for you if you gave yourself the opportunity to acknowledge it. For example, being jealous of your friend's new boyfriend has little to do with how much sex she is having but rather how you are struggling to make space for love to come into your own life.
Treat your feed like a house party. Just as easy as you added and welcomed in the names, personalities and brands that fill your feed you can unfollow and hide the content that does not serve you. Treat your social media feeds like a house party full of loving, supporting, inspiring and fun content.
Beware the filter factor. We are all curators of our own individual fame bubbles. What that perfect selfie does not tell you is it took 20 tries and four filters to arrive at that 'natural' shot.
Take action offline. Scrolling, observing and judging others for hours will get you nowhere and wastes your time. Commit to take action offline, in real life. For example, if you are stuck in a job that you hate and want a total change, start researching and collecting vacancies or training courses that will be your ticket out of there. You don't even have to tell anyone.
