Nowadays it is easy to succumb to the onslaught of Social Media with all the associated noise and distractions. If you want to comprehend yourself, your assets & weak points, your brilliance and dark sides, then you need to find some quietude in your life.

Commit yourself to a technique such as meditation, mindfulness or Cognition to enable you to pause the world around you and reach the quietude within.

Spending some time out for a Social Media detox, may on the surface sound easy. Though for many of us, imposing a complete digital ban may not be practical nor sustainable. However, some basic guidelines such as no use of your smartphone or tablet in the first hour of the day, or after 9pm might be more attainable. In this way, you begin to develop self-regulated limits and begin to build a healthy relationship with social networks. If you are feeling more ambitious, you may decide to delete your favourite social media apps from your smart device for a weekend or even a full week.

Despite the fact that a number of us practise meditation or mindfulness, frequently we do not seem to have the time. It can become easy to fall into patterns of unconsciously rushing through life without ever being in the present. Stopping briefly and observing a number of consecutive breaths can help you to relax and refocus your mind. Visit our webshop for a complimentary activity on Breath with Purpose.

In an increasingly connected world, we are all impacted by our presence on social media. It is easy to be affected by others through an increasingly complex web of interactions which occur instantaneously around the globe. What you post affect others, in the same way, that what you see impacts or influences you. Gradually, what is posted by you and about you develops an image as your online persona. This digital entity can grow to form its own sense of illusion in the seemingly virtual world. Always strive to be considerate and true to your own self as you engage with your digital personality.

If you are feeling stressed, taking a walk can generally reduce the pressure, and will frequently bring a new perception to the situation. The simple act of going for a walk, enables you to have a change of surroundings, often allowing you to be more cognisant or take a different point of view. As you take a walk, try to be aware of the sensations within your body, such as the motion of your feet or your breath. Avail yourself of the opportunity to take a walk, be more conscious, and refocus on the important things in life.

If you are feeling stressed, try walking it off so that you may refocus.

Make every effort to let go of any unfavourable feelings and emotions so that they do not become a controlling factor in your life. Letting go of your emotions will enable you to become their observer, rather than being caught up in the ensuing battle. You can then control the outcome and your reactions, so that you attain victory over your emotions.

Nowadays a great deal of emphasis is put on how bad negativity is; without comprehending it is how you act, which is the key. There is a natural circulation of energy from negative to positive to form a complete circuit as part of the circle of life.

So do not be down on negative things, realise they exist, but choose not to react in a deleterious way.
