The recent decision made by Simone Biles shocked the world, but it taught us a lot about high performers and the pressure to be absolutely perfect. I talk about the importance of taking care of yourself as an entrepreneur in this blog post.

I normally talk about industry related stuff, and if that is what you're looking for just please go to my blog and see the 70+ other posts I have about social media updates. I want to switch gears here and talk about something that I really don't see many other business owners talking about and that's mental health. A lot of people, especially Americans, don't realize how your mental health can affect everything you do, including your business. For this week's post, I want to talk about my own experience with mental health and how it directly correlated with my business and my day job.

Studies have shown that too much Facebook can be a bad thing. In fact, there is an op-ed piece in the New York Post where they say that Facebook could be potentially damaging to your mental health. With the average Facebook user spending 50 minutes a day on the site, (or if you are like me, you're are spending more than 12 hours a day on it), and getting bombarded with tons of content, it seems like it might be getting a little too much for some. It might mean taking a break from the social media site all together.

This doesn't answer the question of why are we so obsessed with what other people are doing. The truth is, haven't we always been? It's true Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media completely revolutionized the way people communicated to each other, making the world a smaller place.
