Read on Twitter
One of the worst traps I fall into is that the times I'm the most incapacitated and in the most pain is also when I'm most likely to look at Twitter for distraction. And, of course, all I see is a stream of tweets that make my small, slow achievements feel miniscule and inferior.
I tend to look at Twitter when I'm LEAST able to maintain a good, healthy perspective. And I'm sure I'm not alone here in that habit. There is something about social media that calls to us when we're struggling, but that's when we're least able to handle it well.
I think it's a really important thing to notice, certainly for me, but maybe generally. I'm trying to work harder on working out what ELSE I could do when I'm struggling, to better buoy me up rather than feed all my doubts and insecurities. How to make a better, enriching choice.
