Social media has both advantages and a bit of disadvantage in these trying times. Nevertheless, your use of social media can only be known to you by you making it a powerful tool. How is this possible? If you only pay attention to what encourages and builds you up, then you will be able to notice growth especially on the things you focus on. We core-create a lot of things without even being aware that’s why we see many things coming up in life.
We Have Choices when it comes to social media
We have the power to control a specific energy by either emphasizing it or calming it down. Our ability to change what’s in our newsfeed is quite possible.
We can always oppose the bad and negative things and talk about our beliefs on certain issues on how they might end OR we can decide to always have a positive thinking and always believe that there are expecting happy endings.
- We can always react to both the positives OR the negatives.
- We can construct new ideas.
- We have to decide.
It doesn’t matter what we post or how we decide to react to posts. But the fact that we can create or destroy is what matters. You can decide on what the end result of a story will be by just writing and focusing on it.
Regardless of social media not indicating any chance that it is for real, real life it can actually reflect real life in many ways….
Be a positive force through self-encouragement by writing encouraging posts that have happy endings and being a source of hope to yourself and those close to you. Life is hard but we can frame it to make it look like social media.
Always be a person of positive force. Just engage in the positives and do away with the negatives. Even though social media is a big part of everyone’s life, we can learn to use it to our advantage to share the good news of life and of peace.
Ah, yes. Because pretending everything is perfect will surely make the world’s problems disappear. Why didn’t we think of that sooner?
It’s not about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about focusing on positive aspects to bring about personal and communal growth. There’s a significant difference.
Exactly, Belle. It’s about creating a healthier mental space for ourselves and influencing others in a positive way. Negativity breeds more negativity.
Oh sure, just be a ‘positive force’. Like that’s going to fix the avalanche of misinformation and toxicity online.
I understand your skepticism, but even small acts of positivity can create ripple effects. It’s about changing the narrative one post at a time. It may not solve everything, but it’s a start.
What a beautifully written piece! The article really emphasizes the power we have over our own social media experience. It’s all about perspective and choice, and it’s inspiring to be reminded of that.
The concept of user agency in social media interaction is indeed fascinating. It’s noteworthy that our engagement and focus can alter the algorithms that curate our newsfeeds. However, this requires an awareness and cognitive effort that many may not be willing or able to invest.
The notion of co-creating our realities through the use of social media is compelling. It highlights the importance of being mindful of our online interactions and the content we engage with.
While the idea of using social media as a tool for positivity is appealing, it does require a conscious effort to filter out the negative aspects. The author’s suggestions are practical and worth considering.
The article is painfully naive. The world isn’t a rosy place where we can just ‘decide’ to be happy and ignore the negatives. The real issue with social media is its very structure and algorithms that often prioritize outrage and sensationalism.
The article makes a valid point about the significant influence social media can have on our perceptions and mindset. By curating our feeds to focus on positive content, we can potentially foster a more optimistic outlook.
The concept of social media reflecting real life in various ways is an intriguing perspective. It suggests that our online behaviors can indeed impact our real-world experiences and attitudes.
It’s interesting how the author suggests that we have more control over our social media experience than we might think. Emphasizing content that builds us up could indeed help in navigating these challenging times.
