3 Reasons to love Social Media

Sometimes it feels like social media gets a bad name for helping you to procrastinate, perhaps comparing yourself to someone else and I think content creators and influencers sometimes get a bad reputation for only being known on social media.  For me, if you find social media is not fulfilling your life then of course don’t use it or take a break but I personally have found so many positives for using social media.

There are lots of ways to use social media as a consumer of content or as a content creator (more than likely as both) and it has made the world a smaller place. Social media allows you to connect easily with other accounts from around the globe. 

There are so many different social media platforms out there, so find the ones which you like best. I love Instagram for the community spirit and I always have a soft spot for it after years of social media marketing. 

Here are the 3 reasons to love social media!

Inspiration

Social media can be inspiring if you follow the right accounts.  By this, I mean accounts that bring you inspiration and happiness.  I personally find it inspiring and I can get ideas that I can take in my own way for content creation.  It’s a chance to be inspired and then take that inspiration to do something with.  I love to see people who are doing great things sharing, I can take this inspiration and use it to help me have a great day.  Find what type of content makes you feel inspired and search for more accounts with this type of content.

Escapism

There are lots of accounts out there who entertain and this gives you a chance to zone out from what you are doing.  Personally, I love to see people’s travel adventures and I can escape to their destination for a few moments.  You might like accounts that make you laugh or put you in a good mood.  There’s nothing wrong with escaping from your day for a few minutes as you interact with your favourite accounts.

Learn

I have learnt so much thanks to social media.  There are so many accounts willing to share their knowledge for free and I love that.  It’s a chance to learn more about your favourite topics or a subject you want to learn more about.  From beauty tutorials to business tips I have learnt so much thanks to the generosity of people on social media.

Social media can be such a positive place and if you find it negative and draining then it might be time to find some new accounts and unfollow or mute any accounts which you’re not enjoying.  The beauty of the digital world we now live in is there is something for everyone, sometimes you just need to find the right accounts for you.
