I'm going to keep this post simple as it is more about making you aware of how the social network systems (Facebook, Nexopia, Myspace, Twitter) may be affecting your outlook on life.
For those on Facebook you may notice a lot of negative status updates, when you read that, how does it make you feel. Do you starting thinking or feeling angry, annoyed, frustrated? Do you laugh? Do you shake your head? Do you notice once you move on from that update, your mind is still thinking about it? In essence does your mood change after reading those types of status updates?
I realize this may seem trivial but it really is not. Pay attention to next time your on your social network site how you feel after you step away.
Now you ask, soooooo what can I do about it? You have options, let me tell you that, you have options! I've experienced this myself, so first my status was, "if you are going to be a Negative Nelly, I will be removing you from my friends list." Did it work? I can't say 100% it did but because I decided not to pay attention to those people, I either a) didn't notice because I chose not to read negative comments, b) I removed them from my friends list, c) the individual took note of whether they were being a "Negative Nelly" and changed their attitude.
In short, take time to analyze how this type of media is preventing you from being happy and make changes if it is affecting you!!!
Don't Worry! Be Happy!
