Lot of us are facing a lot of anxiety and insecurity because of social media - Everyone is beautiful on Instagram, everyone has a perfect life in Facebook and everyone is very successful in Linked in.
Everyone is projecting only one side of their life and portraying an unrealistic picture, There are even apps which enhance your looks and take away your flaws.
This is all true but...
Isnt all this causing us anxiety only because we have fixed mindset? It is only a problem because we are comparing ourselves with others and coming out smaller? We believe that everyone is in some position in this hierarchy, u are either above or below them and everyone is trying to show that they are at the top.
But if you had growth mindset, if you had a mindset where you believed in learning and improving, every success would be an inspiration, an encouragement. Some pictures and stories would be inspirational and Many would even be irrelevant, if they are status symbols and u probably dont believe in that anymore.
That tinge of sadness which we get - Why not me, wouldnt be there.
The implications of having a thru and thru growth mindset seem phenomenal.
Instead of avoiding social media because we are feeling anxious we should try to change our mindset instead.
