What you fill your mind with, whether it’s social media, books, podcasts, movies and tv shows, what-have-you, will affect how you exist and move in your life.
Social media is a powerful factor and tool in your life.
I use social media to drive me forward and inspire me.
Now, I understand that all social media is a curated experience, a selection of only the best from people’s lives.
But, that doesn’t mean that I can’t use their curation to build my own curation.
My Instagram feed is full of:
Motivated fitness accounts all doing awesome things
Couples who appear to be in loving relationships
Creatives who are sharing inspiring projects
People who are living their best lives
I have found that instead of dragging me down, as some people say it does, they are inspiring me.
I use all of these different people to show me what life can look like from so many different places that I could never experience myself.
I follow a number of aspiring American Ninja Warrior kids and I’m certainly not planning on going off to try and compete on American Ninja Warrior, but seeing them reminds me to keep moving and honoring my body.
I follow a handful of accounts run by couples, and seeing their content shows me what appear to be loving relationships that I have to look forward to one day with my own partner.
