Millions of people use social media every day. There are many benefits to this. Social media can make your business bigger, help you stay informed with friends and family, and provide support during difficult times. But with those benefits, bad things come. As with most things in life, you need to have a balanced view of right and wrong.

Here are 5 tips you can better balance life and social media:

Do not compare

We've all done it. We look at all the amazing pictures of people on social media and ask ourselves, what are they doing that I am not? Somehow, we have all felt that feeling for a while. However, it is important to note that what you see is only temporary for that person. I call it the outstanding reel. You see a lot of the best pieces of human life. What’s dangerous about this colorful game is that it compares the most beautiful moments of people in your entire life. This can reduce confidence and cause great frustration.

Fixing

When you scroll through social media, find the real thing. Understand that every single person you see has been through trials and tribulations. Limit your voice during and after your social media sessions and accept that you have seen a moment in someone, and realize that you cannot compare the facts to his or her one-time life.

Reduce Your Time

Your time on social media can grow exponentially. Five minutes in the morning, 15 minutes for lunch, and 20 minutes at night; that includes Can you find that run? Can you read a chapter in a book? Could an additional 210 minutes a week help you to reach that goal? By limiting your time you increase the ability to turn back time in your day to help you reach bigger goals.

Fixing

Start by paying close attention to your social media time. Be honest and keep track of how many minutes you spend. Then, cut that time in half and take the time to come back to do something healthy for your mind or body. If you feel you can't escape from social media because you need to write to your business, take the time to look at plans where you put your content for a week or a month and automatically download it for you each day. This will keep you away from social media, where you can combine doing business and checking your personal profile.

Avoid Distractions

Social media can be a distraction. While in the middle of a project you get an impression on your phone that "John Doe has just followed you." This second annoyance soon becomes 20 as you look at John's Page, thank him for following you, and browse on Twitter.

Fixing

When working on a project, make sure all tabs on your computer are turned off. Do not allow app notifications on your phone. Studies show that it takes 15 minutes to enter a flow (or area). If you are interrupted, it takes a while to get back into place. Don't waste your time, avoid distractions and use social media as a reward for your work.

Don't Worry About "Liked"

Some people use "preferences" as a way to improve self-esteem and gain approval. While it's okay to want people to like your post, be sure of two things: First, you don't post content and then top up your account. to see all such as that come in. Second, you do not post a picture or content to feel reassured. Make sure you are happy and approved by yourself, do not give that control to others.

Fixing

If you are a wanderer to see everything that comes in, instead, post and set a time limit on testing. Post your content and check back in 30 minutes. Go to work on a goal or activity and as a reward check out your social media status. When sending in to gain the approval of others, complete your self-examination in all aspects of your life and be sure that you are satisfied where you are in those aspects of life. If you feel comfortable with one or more of those areas, take the time you spend on social media and instead focus on improving the space in your life that you feel needs some work in it.

Put Your Priorities In Life First

The goal here is to make sure you give quality time and attention to those people (including you) who you love and care about before you spend your time on social media. For example, parents who use social media at the dinner table may miss the opportunity to ask their children about their day. Or, when you are present and close to your colleague, you may miss out on opportunities to touch or learn more about each other. Also, when it comes to you, if you are traveling alone and researching your media, you may be missing out on the amazing vision your mind has. Time alone is a great time to reflect and develop new ideas that can be successful.

At important times put your phone away. If you want to take pictures with your phone, use the phone to take pictures only. Commit to yourself that you will not swipe app notifications or post a recent photo you took on social media. Be there for now. You can always send photos you take later. When alone with you, set the phone aside for at least the first 15 minutes and give yourself time to meditate.
