Social Media Got You Down?

By: Alyssa Huey

I often times find myself scrolling through Instagram and closing it out feeling worse than I did when I first opened it. The posts I see have a negative effect on my mood, attitude, and feeling about myself. The content I see on my feed can make my environment feel negative around me and then make other people feel my negative energy. Social media should be utilized as a tool to connect you to accounts or people that inspire you to push forward and be better than you were yesterday. Focus on the accounts that push you to think about yourself, whether that be physically, spiritually, emotionally, or mentually. Find something that makes you feel good inside and inspires you past what you thought could inspire you. 

Some accounts I like to follow: 

@thegirlmob

Filled with women of all kinds giving speeches from and whimsical empowering quotes. 

@recipesforselflove

other. 

@girlboss

you can do anything.

These are just a few of the accounts I enjoy looking at while I’m lying in bed at night or throughout the day if I’m feeling down. The accounts you follow and see everyday should inspire you and illustrate how you want to live your life. If you enjoyed these accounts, tag us in their comments to let us know what empowered you.
