We have all seen the thumbs up/thumbs down pages
on Facebook where people want the cheapest and best (this doesn’t exist
people!!!), where people complain about the most ridiculous petty crap like not
getting enough chips in their KFC (HELLO STOP EATING F*CKING KFC) and where
trolls love to pick on other trolls.
What’s worse I can’t help but read EVERY
SINGLE post. I don’t actually give a flying hoot if someone parked terribly
or your egg was over cooked, I swear I even saw a pregnancy test on there
asking complete strangers if it was positive or not?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
I had to ‘unlike’ the page. I was wasting a ridiculous amount of time scrolling
through rubbish that was never positive, super unproductive and had zero
benefit for me.
How much time do you waste flipping from
Facebook to Instagram to Snapchat to Tinder to Twitter to YouTube to god knows
what then back to Facebook just in case something new pops up!?!
As a society we spend a shit load of time on social media – which is fine it is
apart of our generation…
BUT…..
imagine how much more productive we would be if A- we didn’t have it or B- we
used it effectively.
TEL WHAT DO YOU MEAN INSTAGRAM IS MY LIFE?!?!
Okay lets say you wake up and first thing you do is check your phone (yes I’m
talking to you!!!) You scroll for a good 30 minutes before actually getting out
of bed – taking in nothing from your scrolling even though you re-freshed it
like 5 times.
In that 30 minutes you could have done any of the following:
-Gone for a fasted walk to burn some serious fat (my favvv thing!)
-Had an extra 30 minutes doing hair/make up
-Had an extra 30 minutes sleep
-Had an extra long shower (summers coming and leg shaving is upon us!)
-Had a nutritious breakfast (which girls tell me they never have ‘time’ for)
-Prepped a nutritious lunch (which again I get told is not an option due to
time)
-Got a 30 minute workout/yoga sessions in
-Bond with your pets or children (who actually love you unlike John Smith who
be liking all your pics!)
Getting in that extra 30 minutes a day would make a huge difference and hell
that is only in the morning – we all know how much we dabble online after work.
Your goal for the rest of this week is to be more aware of how much time you
are wasting.
Then once you are aware of this make a change.
It may be a simple as setting ground rules like no social media before lunch/after
dinner (we apply the after dinner rule in the Prince house hold) or even
completely deleting the apps (I did this with Snapchat)
You’ll be surprised how much of your life you are wasting online when the
people that really matter are right next to you.
Stay Strong & Stretch,
Tel X
