Use Social Media Like a Gym, Not a Couch

Social media builds you or breaks you. It can be like gym or a couch - depending on your usage, feed. Watch the following video by Dr. Julie (a renowned clinical psychologist & author) to know more.

Key takeaways

Let’s be real: every time you open social media, it’s difficult to stop comparing yourself.

You compare because you’re human. It’s hardwired. If you never checked where you stand next to others in skills, values, effort — you’d be a terrible community member.

The problem isn’t comparison. The problem is what you do with it.

If all it leads to hating yourself, wishing you were someone else? That’s wasted energy.

But if you flip it — if you look at someone ahead of you and think: “Damn, they’re good. How did they get there? What can I learn?” — now comparison becomes a weapon. It becomes admiration. It becomes education.
