INJURY-FREE RUNNING POST RESPONSIBLY
MANAGING SOCIAL MEDIA DURING DIVORCE
AVOID SELF-SNITCHING Divorce attorneys will scour your social media accounts to find damaging posts, pictures, and comments. Regardless of your motivation for doing so, posting pictures of yourself partying, drinking, or using illegal narcotics can be catastrophic to your case. In addition to worsening your image and reputation, it can also impact your negotiating position when it comes to the division of assets and child custody. BE HUMBLE If you do not want to end up paying more to settle your divorce: avoid showing off. While you may be excited about a promotion or change in your living situation, bragging about it on social media can only do harm. If you post a picture of yourself flaunting money, newfound assets, or symbols of wealth that you did not disclose during your divorce, that evidence may be used to alter
agreements related to the division of assets. When it comes to divorce, it pays to be humble.
GO PRIVATE You should consider cutting back on the amount you post on social media during your divorce. If you do not want your social media accounts to be scrutinized, consider making your accounts private, and removing friends and family with close ties to your ex-partner. While you do not have to remove your accounts entirely, deactivating them temporarily may be the safest option. Once your divorce is settled, you can always reactivate your accounts. While social media can be a fun way to waste time, it can also be a serious concern during your divorce. If you want the best outcome for your divorce case, then heed the advice of your attorney and avoid making damaging posts on social media.
Many people enjoy spending time on social media, whether scrolling through the news, looking at friends’ pictures, posting about a recent trip, or gawking at memes. While not everyone uses it regularly, research shows that three in four Americans aged 30–49 have used Facebook, and 59% of them have used Instagram. That means the majority of us have some social media presence, and your behavior online can have ramifications in real life. Did you know that one in seven divorces is caused by social media? More than being the root cause, social media can also impact divorce proceedings and damage your case. Here are some tips to prevent you from being your own worst enemy on social media.
The Allure of Hot Springs Earth’s Geothermal Wonder
Soaking in the heated waters of a hot spring is an experience you’ll want again and again once you try it. And there is much more to this geothermal wonder than meets the eye. The naturally heated, mineral-rich water nourishes the body and mind, allowing you to shed stress as you easily float on the surface. HOW HOT SPRINGS WORK Hot springs are heated by geothermal energy. Water meets volcanic hot rocks, resulting in boiling mineral-rich water. Regions far away from volcanic activity can also have hot springs; those occur when a spring runs so deep that it hits rocks close to the Earth’s crust. These rocks are naturally very hot, which then heats the water. HOW MINERALS AND HEAT IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH The water in hot springs contains a plethora of minerals, so the water can be healthy and rejuvenating, providing benefits for your skin, cardiovascular system, and more. Every spring has a unique mineral makeup and varied health effects, but here are four of the most common. • Improved Blood Circulation: Minerals like calcium, iron, and sodium bicarbonate are great for blood circulation, as they promote oxygen flow. • Radiant Skin: Nitrogen, silica, and other minerals are excellent for exfoliating skin. • Less Stress: As the warm water melts stress away, the magnesium and lithium improve your mood.
• Pain Reduction: Sulfate helps reduce pain, while hot water soothes muscles and reduces inflammation.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND HOT SPRINGS The western part of the U.S. has a higher concentration of hot springs, but if you look hard enough, you can find one anywhere. Some hot springs are deep in the mountains, so you’ll have to hike in. They often have spectacular views and are worth the journey. If you don’t want to trek up a mountain, you’ll find many spas built around hot springs that offer amenities besides the spring, such as restaurants and saunas. So, the next time you’re traveling, locate the hot springs in your area and put a visit on your itinerary!
