Instagram feeds — those treasure-troves of personal photo galleries — often are bonanzas of decadent meals, brilliant sunsets and perfectly poised centerpieces. These slices of life might be authentic moments, but often our daily life doesn't resemble these carefully curated slide shows.

There is tremendous power in seeing the glass half full. Yet when we look at social media use (ours and others), we start from a negative bias that it is somehow inherently wrong, self-focused or bragging. Why not reframe our interpretations and consider the important role of visualizing the upside to make positive change? Maybe all those happy Facebook pictures are how we WANT to be and are reminders of the important things in life--not bragging after all. Posting publicly makes a commitment more real because we have shared it with others.
