Tips for reclaiming your peace of mind online
Summary
The speaker seemed to be born in Japan thus her name was Japanese, but her English is not like Japanese, probably, she wouldn’t speak Japanese. She works as a plus-size model, but she seemed to be in trouble with her body and using SNS for a long time.
And then, she has just co-authored a book called “Mixed Feelings: Exploring the emotional impact of our digital habits”. In fact, her experiences were what all young people think about, so we wanted to be told how to untangle our self-worth from follower counts, likes, and the unattainable perfectionism perpetuated online.
Online excellently shows that our lives are shiny and perfect. The speaker called it “Optics”: it’s the branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, so we care about optics too much. We feel fear of missing and anxiety. It becomes difficult to deal with feelings, worsen the human condition and there’s no “off” button.
The speaker told us that there are, again, more questions to ask ourselves. It’s not only to post or not to post, but it’s necessary to pay attention to your own life privately, work on and think about it or businesses deeply. We need to inhabit and act on these reflections. We can manage our relationship with our online worlds.
