In the modern era we use social media a lot. Planning to make a change in your life? Why not share it with your friends? This article will give you a few reasons why should first go for the change instead of writing about it.
Don’t get carried away about your new life posting it before it has stuck with you. Posting new goals can be motivational for you or even keep yourself accountable to achieve your goals. If you are someone who needs some extra external accountability then sure, posting about it may help you. However it is still advised to think before you are posting your new fitness routine. You may feel like it will stick with you forever. But you can’t figure that out before you start, and preferably, been doing it for a while.
The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing. – Walt Disney
Posting something and then giving up on it makes you look like you can’t persist towards your goals. Everyone has moments like that, but not everyone has informed their friends on the goals. If you turn your life around, first start by adding some new habits in your life. When those habits are solid you can start sharing your story to people. This will ensure that you posted about something that you will continue on doing. People will also notice that you put less emphasize on your social media. That you first adopt your life and put social media behind that instead of in front of it.
When you wait to tell people on your social media you will get responses that people already noticed some changes. Additionally you can differentiate between people that you meet frequently and your ‘facebook-only’ friends. You can talk about the coming changes to friends face to face. They will not keep you accountable for your words. (unless you want them to) Your best friends will notice that you find their opinion and friendship more important then your facebook friends.
