Protecting Your Peace in the Social Media Vortex

Writer's picture: Elsa KurtElsa Kurt

In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the swirling vortex that is social media and discuss practical strategies to protect your peace amidst its chaotic currents. We're all familiar with the love-hate relationship we share with social media platforms. Since 2009, social media has transformed from a tool to connect with loved ones into what we refer to as a "media-based loony bin", a space where anyone can voice their opinions, often without consequence.


Navigating this can be challenging, and often leads to people feeling emotionally drained and mentally exhausted. We emphasize the importance of adhering to the four agreements in this space: be impeccable with your words, don't take anything personally, always do your best, and never make assumptions. It's critical to remember that preserving your peace is far more valuable than having the last word in an online squabble.


A significant point of discussion in the episode is the influence of social media algorithms. These algorithms can pull you into unnecessary arguments, consuming your time and energy. We strongly advise against engaging in such discussions, reminding listeners that insults are more reflective of the person throwing them than the recipient.


We also delve into the enjoyable aspects of social media. Sharing content can provide a much-needed break from the seriousness of life. Comedy videos and parodies, in particular, have a refreshing impact. They can draw attention to forgotten topics and offer a new perspective to process the news. Additionally, for those looking to improve their on-camera appearance, we discuss the undeniable importance of makeup and false eyelashes in creating appealing video content.


To sum up, our podcast episode serves as a guide to maintaining your inner tranquility while navigating the turbulent waters of social media. We aim to help you strike a balance between engaging with the often overwhelming media-based loony bin and spaces that bring you joy. After all, your peace is paramount, and it's absolutely okay to prioritize it over any online argument. Tune in now!
