A lot of my clients come to me and tell me they struggle to use social media because it’s bad for their mental health.

I get a pang in my chest when they tell me this because I know exactly what they mean.

But I still use it. So do you.

Social media is THE tool for growing our businesses and finding freedom.

So, for many of us, logging off isn’t an option.

Here’s a trick I’ve used that helps me get more out of social media than not.

First of all, mute or block all the content that makes you unhappy or angry.

Second, we need to address one of the most common sources of frustration and sadness on social media:

Comparing yourself to others.

So do this:

Identify one person who continually brings you grief this way.

Instead of falling into a quagmire of unhappiness just by seeing their face, write a ‘lessons list.’

Write out all the things this person is teaching you that you can take into your own life or business.

Really MINE everything they give you, and brainstorm it all out.
