81. The Social Media Dilemma - A Spiritual Perspective
Episode Notes /
This episode is all about understanding social media from a mindfulness perspective. The way we use social media has a lot of impact on our mental and spiritual health. Chandresh shares his experience, how he handles social media usage, and his experience with other people. A few of the problems shared include the reaction and validation of others become an important thing to us, in which we start doing things to get validation from others. Many times it decreases our ability to connect with people past the digital screen and creates an easy delete/block to people with different opinions rather than being able to connect with them. Chandresh shares solutions to these dilemmas such as beginning to make conscious decisions around social media usage, creating a conscious plan on how you will use social media, and asking yourself who you follow and why. He also shares the importance of being open to new perspectives, ideas, and ways of thinking rather than building a bubble in your social media universe.
