Good Mental Health and Social Media:
As social media has become increasingly popular, we are exposed to people’s dirty laundry more than ever. For my liking there is too much detail on line about break ups, the bad day, week or month that people are having and more. The posts that say: “I’m sad today”, (“please ask me why so I can openly share my woes”) “Life sucks”, “Some people are so negative & toxic, you know who you are…” etc… A friend of mine once stated that posts like this are from “immature narcisistic attention seekers” and as he started to see a pattern of more and more such posts, he started to either delete these people from his friend list or hide their posts.
Many years ago I did something similar and I cleaned my “cupboards” so to speak, of those people who were energy drains. You know the type, the person who has a black cloud hanging over them all the time, the person who never can see anything as good in their lives and when you ask how they are, their comment is “same s*%t, different day”. Good health isn’t just about what you eat and how much you exercise, it is also about what you allow into your consciousness. If you watched only bad news on TV, how would it affect you? It is the same with the social media. Sometimes it can be like watching a bad train wreck. Where is the value in it? How it is improving our lives?
It has been said that you are as successful as the sum of the five people who you hang out with the most. Sometimes it can be difficult to remove friends from your life because they have been there forever but when you do, a shift happens. It is not only a shift for yourself but often a shift for those friends. To have a rewarding, fulfilling and peaceful life, we need to surround ourselves with positive people. Like attracts like and if you are hanging out with a sad sack, you too will turn into a sad sack. This emotional energy is draining and our emotions have a direct impact on our physical health. So eating well is important, exercise and cleansing is important but let’s not forget about the mental aspect of good health.
