How Instagram Has Changed My Perspective

My days are different now that I have begun to use Instagram.  Before Instagram, I would grab my keys and my coffee and head out to work with a frown on my face thinking about the drab of a day I was going to have.  I would think about the stress and the tension in my office.  There were many days where I couldn’t get out of bed because I had nothing to look forward to other than my crappy job.

Now that I use Instagram, my outlook has changed. I actually look forward to my day.  The following are 5 reasons my life has changed because of Instagram.

  1. Something to Look Forward to

Before I used Instagram, there was not much to look forward to on a Monday morning.  I would roll out of bed and slowly battle with myself as to whether I was going to work or not.  I felt down and had nothing in my day that was positive and exciting.  When I started using Instagram, I felt like I had a challenge every day to find something to take an awesome picture of.  After all, everyone wants to get likes for Instagram photos.  It became a hobby of mine and gave me something I enjoyed to break up the monotonous everyday tasks.

  1. Creative Outlet

I like to think I am a creative person.  I think most people do.  So when I was able to use Instagram as an outlet for my creativity with beautiful pictures and angles I became very happy.  I felt like I had a new skill to learn.

  1. Forged Connections

Followers can, believe it or not, become friends.  I have forged friendships through Instagram meeting unique people that share common interests and goals.  They have taught me new things and I have been able to share my strengths with them.  It is a true community.

  1. Makes the World a Little Prettier

The world is a beautiful place.  But when you are wearing stress goggles it may not look so marvelous.  Instagram forced me to look at the little beauties around me.  I looked for lighting that took someone sitting at a bench and made it emotional.

  1. Gives Purpose

I already mentioned how Instagram is a community and as such has given me purpose.  I have been able to work with people on projects, help others in need by donating my time and money to causes, and joining activist movements like the #metoo movement.  My voice, share, and post matters.

  1. Entrepreneurship

In addition to personal reasons, Instagram has been a great boost for my dream of owning my own business.  I had ideas, but never knew how I would sell my items or get my brand out there.  Instagram has been a perfect platform to show people what I make and find my target audience.  I bought real likes and followers to get the ball rolling and now I have a ton of new clients!

Instagram has been a confidence and overall life booster.  It gives me meaning and hope and helps me make little everyday wins into the victories they really are.  So thank you Instagram.
