My latest @tedx_official is out !
▶️ TEDxMarin video in my bio ‼️
If like me, it’s becoming harder and harder to stay away from your social media apps, this talk is for you ! ( ironic to talk about it on social media - again, I’m not against the social platforms, but I truly think awareness and mindful habits are necessary). How can we control social media, instead of being controlled by it, and how can we harness its power it for social good ?
My goal with the talk was to not just share my story, but to tell a necessary one as well. I’m of the Millennial generation and like many of us, I grew up with the emergence of the
Internet, with my smartphone slowly becoming the extension of my arm and my identity merging with my avatar. But at what cost?

Why are we addicted? What are we looking for? A sense of belonging? Connection? Love ? Are we scared of missing out?
Social Media was originally set up with the best of intentions and quickly turned into the largest, most powerful social conditioner. What we read, listen to and look at are now indirectly chosen for us.
How can we know our true selves, develop self love and feel supported to make our OWN choices if we are being constantly conditioned by such addictive media?

Many studies show, that our current social media usage can lead to addiction, depression, self doubt, and unhappiness. Social media algorithms create echo chambers and reduce our exposure to new ideas.
A study by the group Common Sense Media revealed that teens spend an average of 9 hours per day consuming media.
Pew Research Center shows that 24% of teens go online “almost constantly.” More than 35% of teens want to be YouTubers, and most of them don’t even exactly know why.
These stats are staggering, yet I was just as responsible as anyone else with my level of involvement. With my posts and like buttons, I was taking part of a system that initially made me unfulfilled, insecure and addicted. With my tags, I was promoting companies I boycott now, and encouraging an economic system I question today. (Part 1) #socialmediaaddict #addiction #socialmedia #selflove #consciousness
