It seems that there is a new place of comparison for us. According to Daniel Gulati's recent post, Facebook and social media are causing anxiety, jealousy and even depression. It is so easy to avoid things we need to be doing and spend time reading what everyone else is doing. It then creates a downward spiral as we compare ourselves to others and neglect our families, business, exercise. We feel bad about ourselves, have little energy to take action, so we avoid pain by logging into fb. Only to feel bad about ourselves.... do you see the pattern?
He suggests in his article to limit time on Facebook and strength our real-world relationships. I suggest going for a walk, calling a friend, take some steps of action, however small they may seem. Making a list of accomplishments and having a list of goals nearby keep us on track and out of trouble.
Over the past 20 years, I have studied with inspiring and powerful women, each of them a role-model, each of them encouraging me to move forward on my spiritual journey. It was through these motivational women that I received the tools to open my awareness to God’s love and grace.
It is truly a privilege to teach, facilitate and counsel others both nationally and abroad. I have been blessed to serve many individuals on their spiritual journey to live more productive and loving lives.
