BEING A CONSCIOUS CONSUMER
EVERYTHING is energy, including what you’re looking at on the news, what you’re reading, listening and what you’re eating. As humans, we consume energy.
If a song repeats the following line: “I am sad, I am sad, i am sad” and you listen to that song at least everyday, the chances are that you’re going to get depressed.
And like that song, social media works the same way. If you read a post on here, for example, about being anxious and you look at that post everyday then you’re going to start feeling anxious. Most of us, scroll and scroll without realizing that everything is food for our mind.
Picture it like this: there are people who eat fast food everyday. They get unhealthy and sick. If you’re always reading posts/tweets that are based on sadness or fear (like drama for example) you will get sick. It’s like eating a lot of garbage.
A few years ago, I downloaded this app that was like twitter, but it was about “ranting”. I followed some people on there and I thought the app was making me feel better because now I could rant all that I wanted. I scrolled and scrolled reading posts about how depressed some people felt. I read posts about people suffering from anxiety. Spoiler alert: I started suffering from anxiety disorder months later. My mind was cluttered from the negativity I read on there. I hit rock bottom when I started suffering from anxiety. I had to make so many changes in my life and one the changes that helped me the most was doing a social media detoxing. Never feel guilty for unfollowing or unsubscribing & always remember to be a conscious consumer, either on the internet or in real life. Much love 💕✨
