The Pressures of Social Media and Why It Is Time to Be Real.

Social media and mental health research has found a correlation between social media use and increased social anxiety, feelings of isolation and feelings of loneliness. Some have deemed that the measures of popularity created by social media such as friend counts and “likes” have contributed to a rise in depression.

Enter Be Real - a time to be the authentic you.

BeReal is a new social media app that you might want to consider downloading for its empowering and liberating twist. The picture-based app is garnering attention for breaking down social media's obsession with perfectionism and rewriting the rules on posting content that's not authentic.

The French photo-sharing platform BeReal bills itself as "not another social network" and encourages users to post "real" content. The app notifies users at random times each day ot share snapshots of what they're doing during a two-minute window.

BeReal could even be good for your business/brand where you can snap a picture of the day-to-day life at your business.

Do You Have The Resiliency of An Athlete Or Musician?

If you are an entrepreneur or in sales, you can relate. You have great days closing deals and you have bad days losing a deal. Case in point, I had a bad day, but it made me think of what professional athletics and/or any entertainment professional. They have been cut from the team or booed off the stage. Quite simply, they have a had a bad day.

But they learned how to be resilient and learn from what went wrong and take action from what they learned. The key is to be resilient and focus on the positive outcome and not dwell on what went wrong.

Today is a new day and it is time to be resilient and focus on those positive outcomes!

Enter social media, in particular, the professional networking platform, LinkedIn. Now you have the cold LinkedIn Message. If you are recipient, it can be annoying and a waste of messaging space in your LinkedIn Account.

So does the Social Media Cold Call work? It depends. It depends on your approach. If you approach your connection with the intention to build a professional relationship and not as a transaction, you would have better luck. It is in the bank!

#Mindset - What is G.R.I.T? And How Do You Get It?

Hitting goals may not always go as planned, but as long as you try, you are half-way there.

Keep these thoughts in mind – you may need to:

G- Grow

R- Rebound

I - Improve

T- Try Again

Growing is deciding you have goals and work to achieve them. Rebound is what you do after a setback (we all have them). Improve is adjusting your goals and build an action plan. Try Again is taking action and continuous improvement.

You get G.R.I.T. by seeing the end state and no matter what bumps along the road you have, you will learn and get there.

So do you have G.R.I.T.?
