[Show #15] How to Confidently and Authentically Show Up on Social Media (Part 2) with Kim Garst

In this show, Kim fills us in on her specific strategies for  a ton of social media related issues and functions like: Protecting herself from posts or people that are full of negative energy. Insights and updates about Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter Read on to dig into the details. Kim suggests that instead of UNFRIENDING them, she will simply UNFOLLOW them. She reserves unfriending for those people who are hateful, cruel or unsavory. Something to know is that when you unfriend someone, they are NOT notified so you don't have to worry feeling bad or "getting caught" doing it. Eventually, they might figure it out because you'll no longer see each other's feeds but you can deal with it if someone happens to ask. Kim had a great suggestion for insulating yourself from seeing undesirable people or posts by creating a FRIENDS LIST. That way, you can keep track of the lives of people that you have commonality with, and build on the relationships that you really want to cultivate. She also suggests going the extra mile and to have conversations with those people instead of just "liking" what they post. One of the cures for this age of social anxiety and isolation is to get back to loving each other as people, and having real emotions again. If you have a business, you can also use the Friends list to build a list for business purposes too. Clients, peers, thought leaders, you can follow those people specifically by putting them into a friends list. Another tip is to remember that you won't be everyone's cup of tea. If you have thousands of FRIENDS or connections on social media, that is a lot of relationships to maintain, and it's likely that you won't have the same type of relationship beyond just an online one with most of them, and that is ok! Stick with the people who love and appreciate you.
