Social Media Blues
Oh social media how addictive you can be
Endless scrolling
funny memes and cat videos
Inspiration and sometimes sadness
and then ultimately
comparisonitis hits!
I think it does for EVERYONE!
Why?
We are constantly bombarded by people posting happy pictures
With all their cool stuff or cool vacations and they are all like
Look at what I manifested!
I am so happy!
Look at all my stuff!
Im flying on a private Jet to Bora Bora…
I am awesome
and while a lot of the time the intention is to show us what we can create in our own lives,
at least in my realm.
Sometimes thats not true.
Sometimes it really is people just wanting to show everyone how they cool they are
and there nothing wrong with any of that at all!
But we get hit with a feeling.
It might be jealousy.
It might be unworthiness - wow look at them. I want that too. But it probably won’t ever happen for me.
We start to feel bad about ourselves.
We start to see the lack around us.
and it sucks.
The thing about it is.
Most these people dont post the pictures of their struggles.
They post themselves crying in the bathtub,
the pics of the mascara running down their face.
You dont see the pics from when they were homeless- well they most likely dont have any.
I mean i never took pics of myself sleeping in my car when i homeless. I didnt have a phone.
We dont see the times they overeat out of stress
Or receive the bills for the debts they dont talk about.
Or even journal entries where they write about how unhappy they really are and how hard they are
trying to make the feelings they convey in these social media posts a reality.
My point is
On social media we never see the full picture of what someones life is like.
we get a snippet of what they want us to see. Thats it.
So the next time your endlessly scrolling your Facebook or Insta,
and your starting to feel crappy about your life.
Stop.
Get off the phone.
Take a deep breathe. and remember,
#1 you dont know really anything thats going on for anyone else.
#2 Start thinking about the good things that you do have- even if its the nice smile someone gave you today!
#3 Never let your self worth be measured in comparison to anyone or anything else! You are unique and amazing individual.
Your path is your own. And when you start seeing the good things you do experience and have.
You’ll start to notice more and more good things surrounding you.
I know I have.
I love you,
Lisa Gober

The Meditation Aggravation
Is it just me or do you feel like everything everywhere almost always talks about meditating these days? Its becoming so normal for people to do and talk about and when you ask for help with something or you're feeling super stressed and they say - you try meditating for a few minutes everyday.
and they are right.
and you might want to punch them in the face.
I used to feel that way anyway.
When you keep hearing that you should be doing something like this that you’ve maybe only done in church or school. and then everyones doing it.
When you’re feeling the resistance to this. Even though you know it would be good for you, It’s because your know it would be good for you.
Huh?
What?
Why would i resist something thats good for me?
Because your ego doesn’t want you to do it.
It’ll convince you that you dont need it, you dont have time, its not worth it
blah blah blah
Any and all excuses actually.
Because meditation is death to the Ego.
When we meditate, we are present.
Not in shame of the past or fear of the future.
Through meditation we can heal
We can connect with the Divine, our Angels and Guides.
We can connect with our truth -our soul that most of us have buried underneath all the layers of Ego.
In short Meditation can change your life.
I highly recommend it to everyone.
Even if for only 5 -10 minutes a day.
I even have created a new group called The Body & Soul Meditation group
I recommend you check out, if your interested that is!
and if you feel like punching me in the face,
well please don’t.
But know thats your sign that you probably should be doing meditation
and not letting your Ego run the show.
Just sayin!
