Here's a recognition that sound is not cool.
I love social networks.
I hate to say it, but I'll tell you more. I see facebook enriches my life every day.
Smart people tell me in facebook smart thing. I do not know what facebook feysbukonenavistniki look, but in my pile of goodness. People share the pleasures, such as the birth of the baby. Tell how my grandfather went to war accordion. Thrown off to raise her daughter in the operation other sisters. Looking for owners for homeless dogs. Acquaintances. Joke. What's wrong with that?
Saying "I love social networks" today is not cool. But you're cool if you say:
- "I have right now digital detox».
- "Not poschu in Facebook, not to" feed the monkeys. ' "
- "I deleted the accounts in social networks."
Or take this trend with a sign in the cafe. "We do not have Wi-Fi. Talking with each other. "
When the cafe is no Wi-Fi, this is not a digital detox. This desire manager that you ordered more and gone faster.
Now is that what you post. Then - why read the tape. In the end - what else to do.
why post
Always amazed why keep positive developments diary of the day - this self-development and post joyful events of the day in the social networks - this is exhibitionism and dependence.
Friends, fasting good in social networks. The post more often! This exercise on the ability to find beauty in life, even in the most dismal day. But exercise is not too simple.
Firstly, it is necessary to spend a day, so that there was at least something neunyloe. For example, to meet friends, take a walk, read a book. Run! It will be an excellent post.
Somehow, it is believed that the social network to compete with an active life offline. As you can see, quite the contrary. In order to post something useful, you must first do something right.
Secondly, interesting and beautiful you should be able to notice. Say to yourself, "But the cool thing is happening to me!"
Third, it must be able to pass. It is necessary to consider the wording. It is necessary to take a picture so that people understand what is happiness. Or what love or tenderness, or sorrow.
At the university, we were taught that the idea of the speaker in the head - is one thing. The words that he had picked up, - that's another thought, distorted. A thought in the listener's head - the third.
The more you post, the better to learn how to convey emotions and thoughts through words and pictures.
To be able to look up words and pictures to communicate ideas almost without losses - awesome skill. It helps in the work and in the family. This is a skill like any other, is pumped practice.
Why read the tape
Reading tape - it is also an exercise. Exercise on the ability to be happy for others. Train generous praise.
If you read an interesting post that makes you not layknut?
- Laziness (and why?).
- To the author I am not conceited. In the post, and so much likes.
- Fear of devaluation. I will often put the Huskies, they will no longer enjoy.
- So people did not see how much I read the social network.
All this is nonsense. When you read quietly, about you do not know any friends, no facebook. Do not be surprised then, why in your stream chernukha and cats.
Facebook pokes into your tape pop music when you do not know what you really like. He needs the data - your huskies and other reactions to be useful to you. Machine Learning, of course, cool, but no data are not ale.
By the way, a friend is not very nice when at the meeting is that you always read them, but never checked in. Feeling like this boy.
Guys, hit often huskies. They are free. ;)
If you laykaete, and the tape is still garbage, so garbage like you paid too much attention before. So, your band - this is your mirror.
On mirror Nechay blame, if face is crooked.
Russian proverb, and the epigraph to "Auditor"
Let's not blame axes
Social network - it's just a tool. As the ax. You can cut down the tree, and they heat the house. Or you can go and kill the old woman. It's not him. It is you.
We used to hang on Zuckerberg and Durov our native human weaknesses. Social networks are not to blame for your procrastination. If you prokrastiniruete, you need to to change something in your life.
Social networks are not to blame for the fact that your employees are sitting in them during business hours. Do not block access to social networks. Better, work with management or employees.
Social networks are not to blame, that your friend is sitting "VKontakte" dining with you. Just your friend "VKontakte" is more interesting than you.
I, too, pulls browse facebook. Sometimes too much. Then I admitted to myself that:
I love social networks.
When someone you love, you to this pull. This is normal! But if you pull, it does not mean that will tighten. Will delay or not depends only on me. Remember the scene from the movie "lovers of their own accord?"
"We are working on what is and what you want, just do not over his senses. They are homeless. They started up to chance. Offended - offended. Insulted - psihuesh. We laugh - laugh. Where are you yourself? Where are you yourself? "
Output
You and I do not need a digital detox, because there is no figure of toxins. Toxins in our heads.
So I have a better idea. Why instead of a digital detox we do not hold the head detox? For example, to meditate.
