Many of us have a love-hate relationship with social media. Consider, for example, the name “FACEbook.” Jungian psychology describes the journey of the self through personal individuation. It’s a path of learning how to better understand and shed aspects of our persona - the “mask” or public face we use to make an impression on others, while potentially concealing parts of our true nature - as we work toward integrating a more holistic and genuine self-presence in our world.• The hope is that in coming to better understand our multi-faceted selves (desired and undesired aspects), we come to realize that while we are unique, we are also very alike in our fears, our longings, our hopes, and desires.• In other words, after all of our striving to BE someone, we eventually learn to relax into who we are in our shared humanity, which can be both broken and beautiful.• However, it’s natural for us to compare ourselves to others. The society we live in encourages the competitive spirit.• So as you scroll, remind yourself that social media is usually only a person’s highlight reel and that you’re not also seeing the outtakes.• If your initial reaction to a post is that it makes you feel bad, don’t minimize your experiences - get curious about them and make it an opportunity to learn.• And with every post, try to be mindful of feelings and personal reactions. I try to ask myself these questions: •What is my reason for posting this? Can it help shift the collective conscience of the people I can touch? •What is my expectation of others reading it? How will I feel if the comments or feedback (or lack of them) are not what I had hoped for? •Am I posting because of some kind of validation that I need? *continued in comments . #1111 #1010 #screenwriterspirit #syncronicitywriters https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dRJaLAAGv/?igshid=s9ge3wdtgm8n
