Discipline

Social media and anxiety

What you look at each day also trains the way you feel inside.

Constantly seeing filtered lives can make you think yours is running late, is worth less, or is not enough. Constant comparison ends up stealing your peace. Temperance also consists of watching what enters through your eyes. Not everything you can consume helps you live with more truth. Concentration grows through small, visible decisions. There is no need to hate screens, but rather to prevent them from deciding automatically what deserves your attention.

Key idea

Not everything you see is real, but it can still affect you.
