Strong Dad June: 5 Hacks to Protecting Your Peace and Build Your Social Empire while using Social Media
Strong Dads are strong because they know how to stay focused. While raising their children, they organize what matter most to them and get rid of the rest.
When in a marriage, using social media has to matter like that to you as well.
There are so many things that happen online that can disrupt the peace and sanity of an Iconic marriage life and home that will take your focus off of what you and your spouse is building.
Below are 5 Hacks to navigate social media and protect your peace plus what you are building.
Hack #1: Protect Your Privacy
Everyone does not need to know your business. And sometimes when people get mad they will try to doxx who you are, where you live and where your work.
Protecting your privacy will keep you sane because strangers online will only use against you what they have access too.
I have seen people looks, kids, account history comeback to cost them everything from a simple back and forth with someone.
You can monitor your post; lock your account and be choosey of those who follow you. If you don’t want family dragged into your mess, try not to open them up to it as much as you can.
Remember, as much as you love your kids, most people online could not care any less about them. So, protect them with parent blockers, with hiding their faces if you wish and other safety features so predators, groomers and the like have zero accessibility.
Teach them the rules of online and social media use too.
Nothing will destroy you quicker than the stuff you can easily give to others online to be used against you.
Hack #2: Protect Your Family, Reputation and Brand
It is a strong dad’s job to keep his family safe.
That means being aware of local, state and federal laws about what you post and do online. Sometimes people think being anonymous protects them and they can hide behind free speech granted in the 1A.
Too many people are finding out the hard way that is not true.
One way to protect your family, reputation and brand is to show up only for the things that is necessary.
Keep your business yours. Don’t jump to social media when you are fighting and involve the rest of us in your spat. Because once it is over, those post remain forever.
People can develop the habit of going to Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites and expressing whatever they have in mind. One of the effects of social media is that it is very easy to turn to social media for comfort and distraction when there is tension or a storm in your relationship. 10 Tips to Reduce Effects of Social Media on Marriage
A small tiff over basketball can blow up if you aren’t careful. Use moderation tools and do not be afraid to use them.
No one will care if they destroy what you are working so hard on just to get a lick back for some offense you may have caused them.
Hack #3: Respect the Wishes of Your Spouse and Children
We all love our new family unit.
But what we might like about each other may not be something some wants plastered online.
I remember seeing a teenage picture of myself eating with my mouth wide open from an old picture my brother posted online. It was a picture I would have rather not have had the world seen.
Some children rather their parents not post them. Respect that so you teach them that having boundaries is okay.
Some spouses don’t take great pictures, or their pictures are for private home use only, be wise and make sure that what you post is something your family is okay with. It will stop unnecessary hurt and problems.
Hack #4: Take Regular Breaks
Social media can eat up so much of our time. Even when we share TikToks and memes with our spouses, that doesn’t replace quality and attentive time with them.
Taking regular breaks from social media can protect your peace of mind by giving you a break from the flooding of negativity and information over loud.
You can also put your devices down and give time over to your kids. Strong dads know how to make time for all the things that matter and show up.
Scheduling a break rests your mind, calms your spirit and gives you a time to think about what matters most.
People who are always online tend to forget how the real world works and misses out on some in person ways to stay connected to fellow humans.
Life isn’t just debates about the latest political, social and economic events. It is also about touching grass, quite time and meditation.
There is a vast world out there waiting for you to get active.

Hack #5: Stay In Your Lane
This might sound harsh, but you are not ATLAS. You don’t have to carry the world on your shoulders, just strong dads carry their world.
Meaning you don’t have to show up to every online fight you are invited to and be an expert on everything.
The best way to protect your peace, I have found, is to stick to you area of knowledge, your sphere of influence and network with others when need be.
That way you aren’t overwhelmed by every conversation, underwhelmed over areas that you aren’t familiar with or spending time talking about things you don’t know.
You won’t have to worry about getting dragged on a topic because of your ignorance. And people cannot know what you don’t know if you don’t say anything.
You will never see me in sport arguments or giving major fitness advice. Sticking to what you know and even arming yourself with facts can be a way to keep you and your family sane will traversing the internet.
Staying in your lane also keeps you focused on what you are online for and why. Being online can eat up so much time, and this way you prioritize what you are doing and how much you are investing in your online accounts.
Summary
Being online can be fun.
Strong dads protect their kids and/or family from the dangerous of too much online access.
They set rules, they show intentionality, and they teach their kids to protect themselves with safety controls too.
Couples can benefit from having mutual rules for online use and respect for each other while online.
Remember your business is your business and not to share all of it with strangers online.
We want everyone to be happy, healthy and safety which includes protecting your peace and building a social empire that lasts without the hassles of the internet.
That is how we make and keep ourselves Iconic.
