I'M BACK BAAABY 😍🔥👏
Last Friday, I decided to take a little social media detox. It was originally only supposed to be for the weekend, but by the time the end of the weekend came around, I could tell it wasn't long enough.
I was getting a nudge to take the rest of this week off social media, and I'm SOO glad I listened to what my body was asking of me.
I started my online business back in October 2023 while working 2 other jobs. Up until this point, I had not taken any time off of social media.
If you’re an entrepreneur, I want you to know that it's OKAY to take some time off to rest & recharge.
In fact, it's actually so necessary to do this every once in a while because when you don't, you'll start showing up in this inauthentic energy.
So many people teach you that in order to be successful, you have to constantly be working, constantly be posting every day, & constantly be reaching more people.
So many of us get to the point where we're so burnt out and are still posting every day out of this "I have to" energy instead of because "I want to" energy.
People will literally start to feel your "desperate" energy through your posts.
I'm so over this hustle culture that has become so normalized. I will never ever push the hustle culture on anyone. That's why if you join me, I will actually encourage you to take some time off when it's needed.
So many of us worry so much about what will happen if we stop showing up every day. People worry about stuff like:
- I'll lose momentum
- I'll lose engagement & followers
- People will forget about me
- People will think I failed at my business
- The algorithm won't share my stuff anymore
When in reality, none of this stuff matters.
You can still be HIGHLY successful while still respecting yourself & your needs.
I'm truly so happy to be back and feeling so refreshed & rejuvenated!
I will be doing things differently this time around.
I'm learning to set better boundaries when it comes to me working online.
I'm learning not to obsess over likes/views.
I'm learning that it's okay to not post every day.
I'm learning that it's okay to put my phone down.
& that it's okay to take time away.
💜✨
