Mindful Use Of Social Media

Social media bring us many positives, but that is not the entire story. Many of us lose ourselves online, spending way more time on platforms or feeling alienated from themselves, because they try to paint a certain image of who they are. Social media may lead to negative thinking and strong emotions. Although this is not our intention, it often is what unfolds. In this course, we will focus on why it seems so hard to control our social media usage. We focus on a process of change using the Knowledge, Attitude, and Behavior model from Social Psychology, as well as the 7 attitudes of mindfulness. The idea is to identify personal goals and how to reach those. I use theoretical frameworks, scientific evidence, writing practices, and meditations. At the end of each day, I send you off with a challenge for the next 24 hours.
