DOES SOCIAL MEDIA AFFECT YOUR STRESS?

DOES SOCIAL MEDIA AFFECT YOUR STRESS?

Are you rolling over out of bed and going straight to Facebook, Are you at the dinner table with your fork in one in hand and phone in the other? If so, it may be time to take a break from social media.

Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter it seems like we are living in a generation hooked on online gossip. Not only are people spreading their business on social media, but it has become a mechanism that allows them to fabricate their lives with a post of a picture. It seems we use these online platforms to feel voids in our lives with hopes of causing an emotional rollercoaster in someone else’s life.

I want you to ask yourself these questions: Are you dressing up ONLY to take pictures on Facebook, and tell your Facebook friends that you’ve been out partying? Are you writing novels on Facebook about how your girlfriend or boyfriend left you? Are you spreading any negativity about the opposite sex? If you have answered yes it’s time to STOP! This in my opinion only invites people into your business and before you know it, you’ll be getting Dr. Phil’s advice from everyone; and in the end nothing has change, only that everyone knows you’re depressed and that causes more stress.

There has been research done that gives mixed views on whether social media really causes stress. However, my advice to you is if your emotions and actions are becoming influenced by social media, that could be a strong sign of where your stress is coming from.
