How To Stop Social Media From Ruining Your Life as BBW
Can't stop scrolling through endless images that just make you feel worse about yourself? Read on.
Another day, another new Instagram followers, blog to read on or friend on Facebook. This is how life looks like recently to most of us. Social media can cause a great depression if we do not overcome and fight it. The wish and idea of having a perfect life are killing softly every each of us.
This constant pressure no doubt sounds familiar to many of us. It's getting more and more difficult to ignore Instagram's detrimental effects. We know it's making us more stressed, more anxious and more depressed, but we still haven't stopped scrolling. We are still checking those perfect lives of celebrities and people we might know personally. Grass seems to be greener on the other side…
Social Media and Instagram influence for BBWs are no different. There’s no mercy for them. All plus size ladies are having hard times scrolling pictures of sassy, slim girls who are happily in love and enjoying life the fullest. But is it a real image or just a good game of pretending?
Get Real, Are You Addicted To Social Media?
Being honest with yourself about any of your habits is a challenge, but getting real about your social media is particularly tough - especially if it's part of your social and work life. However, doing so is an important first step in getting control, and changing for the better. Do you check your social media in places where you are not supposed to?
Understand That Your Time Is The Product
Denial is what's making you powerless here, so you need to understand exactly how social media works to regain your power. How social media give an impact on your life. How your life is changing while scrolling.
Be Done With Perfection, The Real You Is Just Fabulous
Whilst we’re all guilty of taking 20 selfies and picking the best one, there needs to be a line. You are perfect in the way you are and no one has a right to judge you. Just think that all those glam girls you are seeing on Instagram are not glam anymore without a photo filter and a handful of advice from a professional photographer.
Try to „Follow”, Instead Of „Unfollow”
Whilst there’s a definite argument for unfollowing those accounts that are detrimental to your mood or self-esteem, try to find these accounts as a living inspiration and just a fun to watch. A harder and more fulfilling quest? Seeking out those accounts that make you feel good. This could be a real game changer.
Share The Bad Things, But Be Cautious
Breaking down ideas of perfection and sharing honestly with your followers are all good things and might increase your popularity as a BBW. But while is all for the positive impacts social media has had on mental health, you need to be very careful while doing that.
Social Media profiles are like a resume online… Just like in real life, not all information is true.
