The Grass Is Greener Trap

We've all done this at one point or another! Social media does a great job of selling us on things we don't need. As we scroll through Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, our minds are being bombarded with things we don't necessarily need. This trap is fueled in part by the fear of missing out and also because we naturally crave to belong and we gain this through familiarity and sameness.

Let's stash our wallets and gain peace of mind by instead focusing some of that energy on some part of our lives that could benefit from improvement. Doing this not only boosts our own sense of accomplishment but even more importantly enhances our sense of empowerment.

The Take Away:

1. Duolingo for example is a self paced application that costs almost nothing to learn a new language.

2. Gladify- a self paced application that focuses on personal improvement through a curriculum bedrock in the areas of mindset, success and happiness.
