Ep 73: Using social media so it works FOR your wellbeing, not AGAINST it, solo episode with Suzy Bashford

I’ve heard a lot of people complaining that social media is draining them, especially if they're using it for work as well as personal stuff, and particularly as the world gets busier again. I’ve felt these feelings too recently. Fact is though, social media ain’t going away. So let’s focus on how we can work it to our advantage, work it for our wellbeing, use it as a force for good in ourselves, in others and in the world generally. And it CAN BE. I tell you my thoughts on this in this podcast in 7 ideas for you to try – and this isn’t a ‘switch off your device’ or ‘delete your apps’ tirade. This is a way for us to integrate social media in a healthy way, so it supports the building of healthy creative souls in ourselves and in others. Please listen & share and why not forward to a friend who is struggling with social media right now, or tag them in the comments below…..
