If you have problems with excessive use of Instagram, today I am going to help you better manage this social network that was once incredible and is now a source of infinite anxiety because it is possible to use Instagram in a healthy way, just like any other. Instagram platform is just a tool and if you learn to use it well you can have a good experience.
The big problem is that since its launch Instagram has been adding many functions and algorithms, and they make it more confusing, the more options you have to choose from, the more anxious you become, because you don't know what to look at, where to look, what to click on or what to do. which profile to enter and this puts you in an infinite loop of consuming meaningless content.
So I think the first thing you should do to improve your experience is to filter who you follow and here you just need to use common sense, for example, if you are going to follow your friends follow your friends, not people you met ago. years or with whom you no longer have any type of relationship, because what value does following those types of people add to your life, if you no longer have any connection with them.
Also, in terms of the content creators of pages you follow, you should ask yourself what you are learning from those accounts, from those people, if you follow an influencer just because they are famous, it is a waste of time, you are spending your time watching someone who is not contributing anything to your life becomes low-quality entertainment, created more to get views than to offer you something valuable.
So when you are going to follow someone, ask yourself what this person teaches me, what have I learned from them or what can I learn, how is it improving my life, both personal and professional, the same applies to the pages you follow if you follow accounts about business, think, when was the last time I learned something there, that I could apply in my professional life; Because many times we follow profiles that talk about our work but in reality they only make us procrastinate under the excuse that we are seeing something related to our profession, when in practice we are just wasting time.
So filter the accounts and keep only the ones that really help you or teach you something at some point, because in the end Instagram today is very focused on comparison and without realizing it everything you see, whether people or pages, shows you how It is the life or work of others, you will always end up comparing your life with those of those people you see on social networks.
Although their lives are very different from yours, they are designed to seem perfect, but in practice they are just a business model, the problem is that you start to compare your personal and professional life with people who really don't live that way and this is a problem so big that you end up wanting things, desiring a life that doesn't even exist or wasn't even aligned with your values, all because of marketing so well done that it makes you think that you need to follow that lifestyle to get to that level.
Nowadays it is very common for people to do things just because they have seen them on social networks, not because they really like what they are doing, especially when we talk about lifestyle, travel, so that's why I don't usually show much. my personal life on the internet, my life is very simple.
