Sharing a smile is an easy way to change the world for the better. I only ever want to post what I believe will make a positive impact. We portray our lives on social media, the way we want it to be seen, which is human nature, it’s the way we live life as a whole, with the desire to make good impressions. Nothing is wrong with that, but it is important to align yourself with the person you make your avatar out to be, or you could begin to feel like you’re living double lives. Practice what you preach, talk the talk and walk the walk. I typically do media fasts in the fall and don’t spend too much time on it to begin with but I’ve been spending even less time on social media lately, and I’ve felt so free! Rather than allowing myself to be pulled into various rabbit holes, I’ve found myself doing research and continuing education. For most of us, social media is simply part of our career, and in that case I encourage you to level up your avatar by leveling up your life. Because eventually, social media will die, taking your avatar with it, and you want to be sure YOU still exist when it does.
