Self-awareness in the pressure of social media
Self-awareness in the pressure of social media
Independent thinking and decision-making are key skills for every individual, especially in an era when we are increasingly exposed to pressure from social networks.
Recognizing the Pressure of Social Networks
Participants learn to recognize various forms of pressure they experience through social media, such as comparing themselves to others, feelings of inadequacy, or the need to gain approval from others.
Impact on Self-Esteem and Self-Image
Equine therapy activities can help participants understand how social media influences their self-esteem and self-image. By being in the presence of horses and in a natural environment, they can gain perspective and realize that their worth is not dependent on how they are seen on social networks.
Strengthening Critical Thinking
Participants learn to examine the content they see on social networks and recognize its impact on their thinking and self-confidence. They can learn to think critically about the information they see and allow space for their own evaluation and opinion.
Making Decisions Independent of External Influences
Equine therapy activities strengthen the ability of participants to make decisions based on their own values and goals, not under the pressure of external factors. They help them find a balance between the external world of social networks and their own inner voice.
In this way, equine therapy programs provide space and support not only for young people but also for all other observers, helping them learn to reflect on the influence of social media on their lives and strengthen their ability to make decisions independently of external pressures.
