#19 - 3 steps to engage more consciously with Social Media
Do you often find yourself mindlessly scrolling or grabbing your phone when you don't want to sit in your discomfort or with boredom? In this episode I share my experience with Social Media, the positive effects on my mental health and focus during my Social Media detox and 3 steps how you can reflect with me to engage more consciously with Social Media:
1) Take an inventory of your Social Media use: How often do you go on Social Media? How much time do you spend on it? What do you use it for? Why do you use it in that moment in time?
2) Assess the impact on your life: What emotions are you feeling when you engage on Social Media or after having been on it? How does Social Media shape your world-view? Are you putting pressure on yourself with Social Media?
3) As you have created space and awareness - now it's time to re-evaluate your use of these apps and consciously decide how much time you want to spend on them. You get to find methods that work for you to train your mind and focus on these platforms.

# 17 - how to befriend self-care and implement practices that work for you and your life

#16 - When are you worthy of self-love?
Join in on this short reflection on self-love asking yourself:
When do you deem yourself worthy of self-love?
Are you tying self-love to achievement?
Do you only love and accept yourself when you are upbeat, inspired and happy?
Are you waiting for a day to finally be able to love yourself?
The first step to moving towards more self-love is always asking yourself questions to take a snapshot of your current situation and questioning the rules that you impose on yourself. By imposing these rules you might create a lot of internal pressure of "never enough" to love and accept yourself. Maybe it's time to set yourself free from this pressure and allow yourself to fly high - not on achievement, but on life satisfaction.
At the end of this short episode we will do a short meditation helping you to lovingly embrace your emotions and whatever is present in your internal world.
