#Am I too social?

In a day and age where social media is the new way to reach people, how social are you? Do you gram, tweet, snapchat, Facetime or text too much? Sometimes socializing can have a big impact on a person’s mood, confidence and/or productivity. When’s the last time you turned your phone on silent or do not disturb, logged out of your Instagram or taken a break from updating everyone on what your location was? Socializing can be a great thing, however updating everyone can sometimes get overwhelming, result in comparing yourself to others and minimize your engagement in the present. Pay attention to how much time you spend socializing through these outlets over the course of the next week and see how it impacts your mood and productivity level. You may find you fall in the “too social” category. If this is you, you may want to try taking a small break and assessing what impact it has on certain areas of your life. Sharing can be great, but it’s important to take time to enjoy moments as they are happening. That post can wait, I promise!
