Your Scroll

I’m going to be the first to raise my hand, I scroll but it has decreased so much. I’ve actually timed myself. This has decreased my “comparison” as well as keep me focused. Needless to say I too have an addiction to social media.

So, let’s agree, this comparison game is a THING. Now, let’s talk about the science behind the WHY of comparing and HOW it is so detrimental to our energy.

As human beings, we are social creatures who are prone to comparison from birth. Since the start of social media this being prone to comparison has blown up into comparison traps called Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and so much more. Not only are these apps literally in the palms of our hands, but they encourage liking, commenting, sharing, and saving other people’s lives and comparing them directly to your own!

The bigger problem? Social media shares another person’s highlight reel… typically the side of them they are choosing you to see. So how can we make a realistic comparison and be hard on ourselves over something that’s not even… real?

Now, how about you? Is this you, how are you rated on the social media scroll.
