Do you feel like you spend too much time on social media? Perhaps you find yourself wanting to unplug and disconnect?

Maybe somedays it feels like you’re better off without Instagram or TikTok?

I get it.

But what if I told you there is a way for you to experience more ease, peace, and fulfillment as you create content and engage with others on social media?

Ultimately, you define your relationship with the internet.

It doesn’t have to be a negative presence in your life if you don’t want it to be.

Social media is a tool that can help you grow your business, expand your income, and build your online community.

My advice: deepen your self-awareness and grow more intentional with how you spend your time. Just as with anything in life, moderation is key.

Becoming more attuned to your behavior around social media will give you more peace and put you back in the driver’s seat of your life.

What is a practical way of doing this?

First and foremost, notice when you start to drift away from the present moment.

When you find yourself deep in the trenches of the TikTok ForYou page or Instagram Stories, ask yourself: What does this feel like? Do I want to be here? Do I feel friction? How then, can I reduce this friction? 

When you pause to ask yourself these questions, you have two options.

You can accept that you’ve chosen to spend your time on social media and make peace with this decision.

Or, if you’re unsatisfied with the present moment, and wish to get off social media, you can decide to close the app and move on to something else.

The friction, discomfort, and uneasiness only arises when there is internal conflict: “I’m on social media but I should be doing something else.”

Awareness leads to presence, and presence is what dissolves the conflict and puts you back in control.

Social media is a powerful tool, one that propels us forward and gives every voice a platform.
