JUST A PRETTY GIRL WHO LOVES LEARNING, SHARING AND HELPING OTHERS UNDERSTAND.
You're thinking about making money, and suddenly your feed is full of business ideas, side hustles and people talking about money.
(Na this table I dey, my head wan blow🤦)
You're planning a birthday photoshoot, and suddenly you're seeing photoshoot ideas everywhere.
You're going through a heartbreak, and somehow your feed is now full of relationship quotes, betrayal stories and videos about how people can never be trusted.
Funny, right????
The thing is...
Social media is constantly watching what catches your attention.
What you stop to watch.
What you watch until the end.
What you like.
What you share.
What you comment on.
What you search for.
And based on these things, the platform starts learning what you are interested in.
So the more you watch something, the more of it you're likely to see.
This is why, sometimes, you can go through someone's feed and get a little glimpse of what's been running through their mind lately.
Not because their phone can read their thoughts.
But because our attention leaves clues.
If someone is constantly watching relationship content, you may begin to wonder what they've been thinking about.
If someone is always consuming business content, you can probably tell that money, work or success is occupying their mind.
If someone's entire feed is filled with anger, betrayal, revenge and negativity, there may be something emotionally going on that has made those things particularly interesting to them.
Of course, we shouldn't judge someone's entire life based on their social media feed.
But patterns can tell us something.
The truth is..
What we keep watching can also affect how we keep thinking.
Imagine you're already angry with someone.
You start watching videos about disrespect.
Then another one about toxic people.
Then another about betrayal.
Then another telling you that you should cut everyone off.
And because you've been watching these things, the algorithm keeps bringing you more.
Soon, your entire feed seems to be saying:
"You're right"
" People are terrible"
"Nobody can be trusted."
And because you're seeing it everywhere, you may start believing that this is simply how life is.
But it isn't necessarily the whole truth oooo.
It's just the part of the internet you've been SPENDING the most time with.
Read that againnnnn...
This is why we have to be CAREFUL about what we FEED our minds.
There is almost no FEELING you can have that social media won't find something to AGREE with.
You're ANGRY? Someone will validate your anger.
You're HURT? Someone will tell you why you should never forgive.
You're INSECURE? Someone will give you another reason to compare yourself.
You're SUSPICIOUS? Someone will give you ten more reasons not to trust anybody.
And sometimes, those things may even contain some truth.
But something agreeing with your feelings doesn't AUTOMATICALLY mean it is GOOD for you.
Sometimes you don't need another video telling you that you're right.
Sometimes you need something that helps you see the situation differently.
Something that makes you PAUSE.
Something that helps you ASK...
"Am I seeing the whole picture?"
"Could I be looking at this through my emotions?"
"Is this helping me HEAL, or is it keeping me ANGRY?"
This is especially important for our EMOTIONAL WELLBEING!!
Because our emotions don't exist in isolation.
What we constantly WATCH, READ and LISTEN to can INFLUENCE the thoughts we have, the way we interpret situations and even the way we respond to people.
If you constantly feed your mind FEAR, don't be surprised if you become more fearful.
If you constantly feed it ANGER, don't be surprised if you're always irritated.
If you constantly feed it COMPARISON, don't be surprised when you start feeling like you're not doing enough.
We need to start asking ourselves questions like...
"What have I been feeding my mind that may be influencing how I feel?"
Pay attention to your feed.
Pay attention to what you repeatedly CONSUME.
Pay attention to how you FEEL after consuming it.
Some content will EDUCATE you.
Some will INSPIRE you.
Some will make you LAUGH.
Some will CHALLENGE you in a healthy way.
And some will quietly keep you STUCK in emotions you are trying to heal from.
You don't have to consume everything simply because it resonates with you.
Sometimes something resonates with a WOUND, not with your WELLBEING.
So CURATE your feed.
Give your mind different perspectives.
Follow things that TEACH you.
Follow things that ENCOURAGE you.
Follow things that remind you that there is more to life than the emotion you're currently experiencing.
Because your social media feed is not just entertainment.
In some ways, it has become part of your EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT.
And emotional wellness also means being INTENTIONAL about the environment you CREATE for your mind.
Your algorithm is learning what keeps you watching.
Make sure you're also learning what keeps you
well.
I JUST KNOW I’D HAVE BEEN THAT STRICT 80s TEACHER EVERYONE WAS A LITTLE SCARED OF BUT SECRETLY LOVED 😂
