Hello beautiful 🌹 friends. Welcome back to this week hive-reachout inleo initiative 19. For this week I see it as something very crucial for us to discuss about it. Because we all know that social media has alot of positive and negative impact on us that are using it on daily basis. Like people do say that anything that has positive influence on you, must also have it's negative influence on you as well. You just need to learn how to make more use of the positive part of it and don't allow the negative impact gets to you.

No one here will deny enjoying social media everyday. We use it to achieve alot of things both for our businesses and family. So, if we are asked we must have something to say about the impact on us. I will be using my experiences with using social media to share for this prompt.
Let's start with the negative impact on us:
Stress: While using the social media sometimes I discover that I will be stressed up especially when I am not getting the desired results that I want. Recently I registered for an online training about how to publish ebooks. I suddenly noticed that I was not following because I don't understand all the lectures. Of course is online and you won't get any personal attention. I could not submit my own assignment and it had me stressed up.
Time consuming: The social media is time consuming because once you start using it you won't even know when you spend hours and forget all you were sopposed to do for the day. If one don't get to make time table of how to spend time on social media, he won't get to achieve much in life.
Depression: Sometimes I get depressed when there is no network connection or maybe no data available to get online. I wish to always have enough network and date for my online stuff, but when this is not available, it causes depression because lonely will set in.
Lack of sleep: social media sometimes makes it impossible for one to sleep at the process of meeting a target. A very good example of this is online mining. Since this mining was introduced, most people don't sleep at night all because they want to meet target.
Self comparison: Most people's lives that we see in social media is fake, but the naive ones will go on and begin to compare themselves with others based on what they see in social media.
Let's see some positive influence of social media:
Skill acquisition: There are hundred and one skills acquisitions introduced in the social media that we can use to help our lives. If anyone can leverage on this, it will help in lefting that person from one financial level to another.
Support network: Social media has helped some people build a supportive network that will help their carrier. Building a support network including having a group in the social media space to get to know ourselves. Sometimes such group help in connecting us to do better in life.
Financial upgrade: To some who use the social media very well, their financial status has really changed for the better. This is one of the good thing that the social media has done to this generation. Alot of people who were struggling financially has actually become Richer because of the rightfully use of the social media.
I can go on and on and on. We have alot of benefits from using the social media platform I will advise that we should use the benefits of social media and enrich ourselves. Gain more skills and get to know more people.
It will be my pleasure to invite a few friends to join us for this week's prompt. @edywino and @pretty-ify.
