My Simple Approach to Social Media

By Tracy Schruder

I use social media to advertise my Reiki Treatment and Teaching services. I share and sell my Jewelry, Spell kits, Smoke sticks and artwork to my followers and clients . I also use it to keep in touch with family and share photos with the members who are on my friends list, that might not, otherwise, be able to attend family reunions or weddings. Additionally, I use it to stay available to family and friends, so they can contact me in case of a death in the family or other matters that might concern me. That’s it. I could live without it; it hasn’t really added anything significant to my life. I prefer using the video chat feature rather than typing messages. I like to save my typing for my writing. Plus, with live conversations, there’s less room for misunderstandings. I value the clarity and connection that comes with video chats.

In the end, social media is a tool, and like any tool, its value lies in how we choose to use it. For me, that means keeping things simple, focusing on what truly matters, and prioritizing meaningful connections over video chats and supporting others through my likes and shares. I hope my approach inspires you to find your own balance and make the most of the digital world, without letting it consume your life.
