The Rocco Effect (Extra) - Social Media

We all know, Social Media is addicting.  Likes, comments and shares are all designed to give us a high. What are we posting in order to seek those highs?  Are we sharing our amazing lives?  Are we sharing knowledge to help others?  Are we sharing humor? or are we sharing reasons why we're week, reasons our lives suck, reasons why others should accept our weakness and depressing lives? 

All of these exist.  Life is a mixture of awesome and crap, it's the same for everyone.  But, if your smart you'd seek out living a more awesome life, compared to a more crap life. If we post crap, we'll seek a life of more crap, in order to post more.  The same is true for those who live awesome lives.  Just compare the lives of the people who share these aspects of their lives. 

To conclude, watch what you post and share.  This is your currency for your social media high.  And like  addict, you'll seek out more in order for that high.  Be aware that others lives are affected by what they post.  Only interact with what you want their lives to grow into

The Rocco Effect - Values

It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. ― Roy Disney Values are the reason why somethings make us happy and others make us sad. If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves.  Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.

The Rocco Effect - Focus

Always remember, your focus determines your reality. - George Lucas Focus is the key to a better life. What we focus on is what we see, what we see determines your reality. To see this for yourself watch the 'selective attention test' on Youtube. Since focus is directly linked to our reality, does it make any sense to focus on the negative? Of course not. It makes sense to focus on solutions you can take to make things better, but that's a positive, don't confuse the two. Should a negative thought creep into your head tell it with as much passion an emotion as you can to 'F**k Off!' and replace it with the exact opposite or a solution. e.g 'I suck, no one will ever love me' changes to 'I'm awesome. Everyone loves me' (both are untrue, but one leads to a much better outcome.), What we focus on will become our reality, stop focusing on being a loser and start focusing on being the hero you where born to be Comic Video Reading Task For the next ...
