Social media for motivation

 

In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionised the way we connect, share, and consume information. Behind the scenes, social media platforms use complex algorithms to curate and deliver content that aligns with our interests and motivations.

These algorithms are designed to keep us engaged and coming back for more.

They analyse our online behaviour, such as the posts we like, the pages we follow, and the interactions we have with others. By understanding our preferences, these algorithms create a personalised feed tailored to our individual needs. This can often feel intrusive and an invasion of our privacy.

So why not use this ubiquitous tool to find your mojo again.

One way to reduce stress caused by social media is by engaging in hobbies that bring us joy and fulfilment. But often as life takes over and you are consumed by day to day stresses you are confused as to what interests you.

The thought process behind the idea of using the algorithms to help you find your mojo:

•  if the algorithms are showing you cooking videos – you probably are interested in creating amazing dishes.
• Or if your feed is always full of gardening videos – it’s a sign you’re supposed to be out doors enjoying the fresh air.
• Or gorgeous forest houses – maybe you need a break away in the trees.
• Or sky jumping – maybe you re after an adrenalin rush.

While social media can be a source of entertainment, it is important to be mindful of its impact on our mental health. Constant exposure to curated content can sometimes create unrealistic expectations or feelings of inadequacy. It’s crucial to find a balance between staying connected online and taking care of our well-being offline.
