Bethany Hamilton Instagram – I’ll be honest, I’m not a raving fan of social media. But, I do work hard to keep up a strong presence on the platforms so that I can encourage and connect with all of you and the world! 🗺️🤙🏼 Social media is not all bad, but sometimes it can be a struggle to use it well! Before I know it, I’ve just spent way more time scrolling than I meant to or I’m looking at a friend’s post instead of looking at my son’s face when he’s talking to me. As much as it’s fun to get dressed up for photos like these you’re seeing, it is not my every day reality with my husband, 3 boys, and daughter! 💛 Today I wanted to share some of my tops tips for keeping social media at a healthy distance. 1. Remember comparison is the thief of joy! Any second you recognize you may be slipping into believing your life is less than someone else’s… take a break. 2. Encourage those who God has called you to! Remember why you’re here – that could be as simple as being a light in a dark place. 3. Stay in today’s reality. Spend more time with your people without your phone. Put your phone in a separate room at night to remove distractions and get deeper sleep. 4. Create more than you consume! Get back to a life of creating, enjoying your activities and life giving pastimes. I would love to know what helps you keep social media boundaries and even how you implement them in your family! 👇🏼 Share below!!
