Facebook and Self Esteem - Make Your Facebook Page a Positive Place
Research on women in the UK and US has compared Face book usage to body image issues. Findings show that the more time spent on Face book, the more likely one is to compare themselves to others, leading to a negative self image.
This comes as little surprise when our Face book feeds are swamped by ads for weight loss programs and products, photo-shopped photos of friends in bikinis doing awesome things and constant pictures of ‘super healthy’ carb-gluten-fat-additive-dairy free meals people love to post.
Reality check! This is not reality! These pictures do not represent ones real life, only a snap shot of a particular time. Comparing yourself to a single photo is in no way productive. What is productive is to de-clog your news feed! Ignore weight loss adds.. Look at positive thoughts, healthy recipes and scientifically based nutrition information.
Here are a great list of pages to ‘Like’ to ensure your Face book news feed makes you smile each day, improves your wellbeing and body image.
