This is me. Lookin’ for my social media mojo.
It wasn’t there. It wasn’t in the other side of the closet either!
A one-day “I don’t know what to share, so I won’t share anything,” turned into several days of not sharing.
I have my own favourite accounts that I love checking on. But right now, I open the app, look at a post or two, a story or two or three, and then I shut ‘er down.
For years, I’ve loved Instagram!
For some reason, right now, I’m not feelin’ it. I can’t. I don’t want to. It’s so noisy out here. It’s so loud. And I add to that noise, I realize.
It’s tiring trying to figure out what to share. Going through days thinking, “Is this shareable?” “I should take a picture.” “How can I tie this in to my message?”
I will soon have the opportunity to chat with Tracey Silliker’s community about setting boundaries. We’ll talk about boundaries in relation to home organizing, but preparing for the chat has me thinking about the boundaries I need to set in my own life in relation to social media and my phone.
I’ve done a poor job establishing them. I’ve allowed myself to burn out. I need to recover, and then I need to develop on-screen boundaries that work for me.
I may never be ready for a full return. Or, I might return refreshed. I have no idea how it’ll turn out.
I’m living and working and meditating and reflecting. Right now, I don’t feel that I have the capacity to “socia media”. (That’s a verb, right?)
I hope you’re keeping well. Truly. And I wish everyone the very best as they adjust to the new school year, new adventures, and newly-emptied nests. ❤️
I’m an email away if you ever want to chat ([email protected]).
Hopefully, I’ll see you again soon.
