IF SOCIAL MEDIA IS CAUSING YOU ANXIETY, THIS COULD BE WHY

The cure? Transform it into a true representation of yourself in “real life.” I will pose the reframe that the greatest damage that Social Media can do to your soul is to trap it in a false prison – a prison which your mind crafted and manifested onto the screen. How is it a misrepresentation of ourselves if they are our photos? Because it is an unbalanced version; it is fragments of the soul. It is an unbalanced representation of oneself that gets built online and then is reflected and “replayed” back. Thus, when one's behavior does not match the reflection. guilt and shame can begin to build up.

How could this show up? What are some examples?
Showing only smoothie bowls and eating mac and cheese behind the scenes
Showing the perfect relationship yet screaming with your partner every night

These are extreme examples to take the point home, but these can show up in smaller ways: maybe promoting vegan products but secretly loving your __insert chemical beauty product here__.
There is nothing wrong with any of the above – it is the false representation that causes anxiety, which builds and strengthens its neural pathways each day as we re-scroll our feeds.
