I felt more present with my family, started sleeping better and generally had more focusīut it was also weird. I saved I think 11 hours in the first week and started to read books again. I mentioned in my initial post last year that I saved so much time and had so much energy since ditching facebook and instrgram.
But it hasn’t been quite the year I was expecting and life certainly showed up in big ways! The weird bit in the beginning, what happened firstīut let’s back track a little. I say finally because It’s been a year since I stopped using social media for anything which seems a long time to figure things out. When I quit social media a year ago, it forced me to really look at myself in terms of my skills and gifts and I finally hit on a way of supporting you, my clients, that has incredible results for you, feels so nurturing for us both and I’m much more comfortable in the way I am getting the word out about what I do.
But I am so pleased I did because a year later, my business is doing great and I feel like I’m doing what I am supposed to do in the way I’m supposed to do it which is no small thing! It didn’t feel like a nice place either and while I didn’t really enjoy using social media for my business, it was still scary to step back. In terms of business, I was feeling very overwhelmed and social media felt like yet another thing I had to do. This blog will cover more of the personal stuff, although I will briefly mention how my business has been affected. I deleted my twitter and Linkedin accounts but my Facebook and Instagram accounts are still up there, although I don’t look at them. When I say I quit social media a year ago, I mean I quit Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin. More connection – My family are really benefitting for a more present me and yes, my circle of friends has admittedly gotten smaller, but I know who my people really are and we have much deeper friendships and connections.More me – because I’ve stopped trying to be like others or do what they are doing, I’m settling into myself again which feels really freeing and exciting!.I now feel much more secure and confident within my tea drinking, tree loving, white haired, sober self. More confidence – constantly comparing myself to the lives of others gracing my feed really zapped my confidence and I felt not good enough on so many levels.More focus and Intention – I’m still wildly disorganised but I somehow manage get so much done because I am focused, am able to concentrate for longer & am starting to be intentional about what I’m doing.More time – for myself, my family and friends and to spend doing what is important to me and what brings me joy.
