Off late I have had so many conversations with my clients and friends , about how social media is becoming a cause of depression, rather than inspiration and a storehouse of knowledge that it was meant to be.
So while thinking about all this .. I was simply a question what is giving rise to all these tendencies, and what I got was that it somehow makes us look at the void in our lives and makes us experience it even more intensely, which we somehow wish to shut it off, because deep down we believe that we do not deserve all such goodies of life. And since we can’t have it we should not even desire it.
As desire for us has become synonymous with far fetched thing that we can never have, this gives rise to feelings like envy , frustration, avoidance etc.
Now as you know I don’t leave things be .. have to operate on it , so well I thought of turning it around and changing the question to how it can contribute in a social setup , we all are aware of the marketing usage but what about social setup that leads to healthy lifestyle and adds value to us, that’s how I developed a practice that we have been doin in flip the switch program that I designed, go on watching things that you like and make a folder saying I am having this and keep on adding stuff that you like in that folder with a belief that you have it and for those 5 minutes believe that Universe is your sugar daddy and all that you have in that folder is already with you, I know it doesn’t go with your logic, but I urge you, that for those 5 minutes of your day be a kid who loves to live in their imaginary world, after those 5 minutes you can return to your adult logical life if you so choose. So well keep practicing, we never know when magic actually happens.
