I’ve been spending more time on social media lately because I want to expand my reach, share my thoughts, and connect with more people. Although I don’t get that much engagement yet I will continue to play the long game. @timgrahl

I’ve never really been one for spending a ton of time on social media, and I try to limit it to less than an hour per day. I also try to stay focused on only positive content and people that will inspire me or give me specialized knowledge I can bring to my writing business.

I try to use social media as a tool, but I also know if you’re not careful, it can put you in a negative feedback loop that can be dangerous to your mental health. If you are already fighting demons of unhappiness, these platforms can slowly kill you with unrealistic comparisons. Constantly comparing yourself to your family and friends every time you pick up your phone is not only foolish but a huge roadblock to your own happiness.

I’m not saying you have to give up checking your feed every day, but just understand that what you are seeing is the best of the best and everyone has there own individual demons they are facing. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the manufactured joy of others.
