How to Make Social Media a POSITIVE Influence in Your Life

You will often hear people saying that social media is responsible for ruining our lives, making us dumber, less social, and so on. Many people think that social media is a negative influence in their lives. People blame it for kids being bullied, comparing ourselves to others, destroying our attention span, and a few other things.

This is simply NOT true!

Social media has NOT changed us as people.

Instead, it amplified us and our emotions, it exposed that to the world and has greatly increased our reach and sources of information. Social media isn't the issue, our human emotions are. But it's a LOT easier to blame social media, rather than being responsible for our own actions, mindset and emotions.

So, how can you make social media great again?

How to turn social media into a POSITIVE influence in your life?

Here's how social media algorithms work:

The first thing you need to realize in order to make social media a better influence in your life is that YOU are in control of the algorithms! All social media platforms want you to stay on the platform for as long as possible, so they will show you content they think you're interested in.

So, take a look at the content in your feeds.

If it's a bunch of videos that make you feel worse about yourself, content that wastes your time, posts that distract you from your goals, people that spread negativity and so on... that's a direct reflection on YOU!

It's the content that you interact with and watch.

So if you want to have a better experience on social media, unfollow all pages and people that drag you down. Instead subscribe to people and creators that teach you the skills you need, that are a positive influence and that help you become your best self!

From there on, go and watch a bunch of content that help you become your best self and achieve your goals! And watch ONLY that content for a couple of days. As you do that, you'll see that these platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook will start showing you more of the same kind of content!

And that's how to turn social media into a positive force in your life!

You do not need to quit social media, instead turn it into something better.
