As we learned last week<\/a>, we take in information from all the sources around us and process them through our internal filters, impacting the nature of the thoughts we have.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second post of our Wellness is an Ongoing Journey series<\/strong>; we propose this inquiry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are social media channels and their exponentially growing content a reflection of our individual thought streams?  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to current statistics<\/a>, we are spending (on average) 144 minutes or 2 hrs 24 mins on social media every day.\u00a0 Consider the amount of information you are exposed to during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers say we have between 60,000 – 90,000 thoughts per day.  This thought stream is ever-present and ongoing whether you’re aware of it or not.  Take that in for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the biological level, a thought is an electrical impulse that occurs in the synapse; the space between two neurons (brain cells) when they communicate with each other.  This messaging between neurons activates the thoughts we have and our response to those thoughts (or lack of.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how are our social media channels and their constantly growing content a reflection of our individual thought streams?  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
