Social media is the worst distraction in my life right now. And I don't even go there that often! But as a cookbook author, memoir author, and restaurant reviewer, social media is a necessary evil.
I just spend too much time on it. And always feel empty afterwards.
I'm hoping that my Substack will do away with any need to be on social media. It's getting there.
For me, in this kind of situation, it helps when I take a step back, and then look at the bigger picture and review all the things that are truly important (and note that we are on course and all is good), I will find myself calming down. Granted it doesn't always work immediately but it does help a little if not! :)
This was so profound. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing. I really love when you said I haven't failed at being me and to remove the distractions. Great post!
That's a tough question and probably depends on the season of my life. But right now, I'm interested in less screen time. Social isn't really an issue for me, nor is it my phone, so I'm specifically referring to my laptop.
In the past, my teaching job afforded me time away from a computer, but these days, oh, no, teachers are glued to computers to do everything. It's annoying, but there you have it.
What are yours? Is it negative self talk or doubt? I'm sorry you had such a shitty meeting. I hate meetings and time wasters, but you can't take back the time, so I hope you've made your peace with it. Easy for me to say though, right?

ohh I totally feel the same say about social media at times. Here’s hoping you get to be on it less!
There is nothing wrong with you! Yes!

Yes! It's so hard to take the space in the moment, but it really does make a difference.

Thank you! We are indeed all succeeding at being ourselves ❤️
You’re welcome!
