Personal/social competency reflection
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, so I adjust my actions to…prioritizing my work before social media and having days where I do other things I enjoy such as sports, reading, working out and self-care. I find that when I do these things my head is in a much better place, and I am so much happier. Along with all those activities. I also make sure that when I post something, I do not post anything that could affect me in a negative way along the road. Another big thing I do to keep a clean digital footprint is never leaving negative or rude comments on others posts. This is something that can be resurfaces so easily and it could ruin so many of my future goals, not to mention it’s just a very unkind thing to do.
My values around being a high-performance gymnast inform my decisions about how much time I spend online because…It can interfere with lots of things even outside of gymnastics. Some things that too much social media can hurt is my sleep. If you do not get enough sleep, it is impossible to truly focus on anything. Sleep is one of the most needed things for kids my age and If I am not hitting the needed hours then I am not giving my body its needed energy. The other huge thing it can effect is my ability to be productive. I do not have a lot of time on gymnastics days to do my homework and sometimes I will end up with a ton of it on a gymnastics day and I end up having to stay up very late. If I am distracted by my phone 2 hours of homework can turn into 3 hours of homework very quicky.
