Let's Talk Social Media and Low Self-Esteem

Have your ever logged into social media, ended up browsing for more time than you had planned and then before you know it you start questioning yourself and your achievements? If so, you are not alone! This episode explores how comparing our lives to the images that others post online works to lower our self-esteem. It also gives a gentle reminder that it does not make sense to compare our whole life to a snapshot image of a postive event in somebody else's life. Using tools based on self-acceptance this podcast introduces practical ways to ensure that you are inspired by the images that other people post online, rather than the achievements of others being a trigger for negative emotions which is a route for lowering your levels of self-esteem.
