Well, it’s been almost two years since my last blog post and my oh my do I have a lot to share. If you’ve never thought about taking a true break from social media, this is the sign to just do it. I PROMISE you will learn so much about yourself and there’s no greater gift. The time I’ve taken has helped my career, my marriage, and most importantly the simplicity of being me. Social media will have us comparing ourselves, focusing on unwanted energy, and taking precious time away from things we truly love. A break will allow you to learn yourself again and you might even learn things that you didn’t even know (or forgot). To be honest, I haven’t felt this good .. ever. Now, I’m not saying that I’m perfect because I don’t believe there is one perfect human walking this earth, but it’s the perspective for me. When you allow yourself to be open to relearning your likes, dislikes, wants, needs and desires your perspective expands. We start to realize that there is truly no limit to who we are and who we can be. Getting out of our own way is an action that we take from a choice that we make. Now, I’m not saying that social media is bad, but it can be challenging when you have goals that you want to reach. If you don’t have any goals, then I bet that a break will allow you to create some. This thing called life is meant to be lived, so live it. Change is constant just like the seasons, so what season of your life are you in? New things are happening all the time so why miss out? Just do it, focus more on you and less on your feed, no worries social media isn’t going anywhere.
How should you start? Well, I went cold, straight deep dive, no lube, all gas no breaks. Logged out of all my accounts and deleted the apps from my phone. Now that may not be as easy as it sounds but I have faith in you. Give yourself some grace for even reading this thus far (the title brought you here for a reason). See the thing about taking a break is that you can always jump back into it. Willpower. The choice to give yourself time to get in tune with other versions of yourself, starts with a simple decision followed by an action. Quiet the noise and limit the scrolling. Check in with your emotions & how certain things that you did see on social media made you feel. Why did it make you feel that way? Are there some rooted traumas or insecurities that were brought up? Questions about yourself? Yea, let the break do its job & reveal all the parts of you, including the reminders of your reason for living. It may not all be pretty, but I promise that it will have some beautiful results. Happy breaking!
