Creating A Positive Digital Footprint

Personal/ Social Competency

• Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include turning off social media when tired or stressed. When feeling like that, scrolling on social media is not the best thing to do so having boundaries or acknowledging when to turn it off are important. Another strategy that helps me is that I like to live in the moment. When I go out and go somewhere pretty and scenic, I like to tag the location of my picture. But instead, I can admire the view without taking a photo and just take it all in.  

• Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are I try to stay connected regularly. I have family in England, and I can message them more often to keep in touch and check on each other. Also, I can be more understanding that people reply at various times and may have other things going on. By do not that it can help me stay more connected and pick off where we left for the next time we meet. 

• My online support network is helpful to me because they do so many things for me/to me, from making me happy and laugh to listening and offering advice. My friends and family are my main network and I know I can trust them and rely on them. They could be close by digitally or in a different country, but I know they will support me, help me, cheer me up if I am feeling down and guide me if I need it.
