How to Feel Good on Social Media

Ashley Azevedo

Social Media

Have you ever scrolled through social media and the more you scroll, the worse you start to feel? You know you shouldn’t be but you can’t help but compare your own life to the perfectly filtered, amazing lives everyone on your feed seems to be living. “Man, her body is amazing! How are they going on vacation again? Wow they’ve accomplished so much”…

And the thoughts just kinda start to snowball downward REAL fast from there. Doubt starts to creep in and you question what you’re really doing with your own life… How is everyone else’s life so amazing? What have I done? What am I doing? Why am I so far behind?

 

Pause.

Woah! Okay pause, take a step back and realize what’s going on. It’s normal and no one’s immune, but you have to start becoming aware when it’s happening so that you can stop the process before you end up in full fledge depressive state.

 

Don’t worry, I’m not gonna tell you to go on a massive account deleting spree. I mean, you could, but for a lot of people this isn’t realistic or ideal and it’s not what I’m suggesting. You still want to be connected to your friends and family, and for a lot of people now, social media is an important aspect of their job/personal brand. So stopping completely is an option, but not necessarily for everyone. I think that you can totally use social media and still keep things in perspective to keep you happy and anchored in reality. Watch the video below to find out how!

 

 

You can use social media and stay in good spirits. You just have to monitor yourself, realize when things are going sideways, and take the time to re-evaluate. Hopefully these tips help you to feel good on social media moving forward.

 

Remember, this is a normal thing, you’re not the only one, and you’re doing way better than you think! Stay on course with your goals and keep pushing forward. Don’t let comparison (or anything else for that matter) stop you.

 

Much love,

 

Xoxo

Struggle with split squats and lunges? Feel wobbly Struggle with split squats and lunges? Feel wobbly or have knee pain? Here are some of those most common things I see:

▫️Sliding one leg back behind you to setup instead of sliding it straight back. Think like you’re keeping your feet in railroad tracks, not a tight rope. 

▫️One or both of the knees caving inward. Watch the front knee especially as you’re lowering and make sure it’s staying in line with your feet + hips-not falling inwards. 

▫️Speeding through as fast as you can. Slow it down. Keep it controlled + really think about what you’re doing instead of just trying to be done with it.

▫️Back hip opening up. Sometimes when people slide or step the foot back, they pull the back side hip open. Check in and make sure the hips are square + in line with each other before you start.

Which ones have you noticed yourself do?

Tight hips? Try this! The setup is so important! Tight hips? Try this!

The setup is so important! Make sure you’re staying up tall, glutes engaged and not arching through your back. 

A lot of times people get in position and then push forward, arch through the back and hang on the hip. We want to avoid that and actually get the stretch through that front of the hip. 

Make sure you keep breathing + keep the good posture throughout. Try to hang out in it for at least a minute. This one can be intense so feel it out and don’t force anything.

The key to getting toned 💁🏻‍♀️ Gettin The key to getting toned 💁🏻‍♀️

Getting toned is one the most common goals I hear from women. But there’s also a very common fear of getting ‘bulky’ or ‘too big’. 

Strength training is the best way to get that toned look, but trust that you won’t get bulky or big unless that’s your goal. Building muscle takes time + a lot of intentional, hard work. It’s not something that just happens. 

I’ve been lifting for literally half my life (with varying Siegfried of muscle in that time) and never have I accidentally gotten too big or bulky. It’s very much in your control. 

You can lift weights, get all of the amazing benefits, + get that toned look without having to worry about getting big or bulky.

Looking for some warm-up ideas? Try these!

WTYs—keep your back flat + thumbs up as you move. You should feel your shoulder blades move together at the top + apart at the bottom. Keep it slow + controlled and pause at the top of each. 

Quad stretch + reach—this one takes a lot of stability so if you feel super shaky, just stay upright + focus on the quad stretch and step, without hinging forward + reaching.

90/90 Switchbacks—make sure both legs are at a 90 degree bend. Try to open the back leg as far as you can, without moving the front leg until you absolutely have to.
